Wow! I remember that some time ago, you were considering moving to Costa Rica but the Philippines must be a great option too! I guess literally everything feels totally different over there than in Germany :) Oh man, I miss living in the tropics... How far are you from the closest beach?

That means that since quite a while you didn't check my blog. :)
Costa Rica is also a very nice country, but finally we decided to got for Asia instead.
Not very far. It should last a little more than one hour to drive from Tagaytay to Batangas.
Also the Taal Lake (where we were today) is very near.
You are right, I didn´t. I´m sorry. A lot has changed since the arrival of our baby girl and my Hive time has dwindled to a tiny fraction of what it was before when I was doing this fulltime...
So not a walking distance from the sea but still easily reachable by car, awesome! I wish you guys a very happy and relaxed life in your new little private tropical paradise :)
Congrats! :)
Actually, I prefer to live at a little bit higher and thus cooler place instead of directly on the beach. I like beaches from time to time, but I am not there as a tourist: I plan to live in the Philippines permanently which means I had to find a good compromise of enough nature on the one hand, but also safety and available infrastructure like hospitals and banks on the other hand.
Totally hear you, we were dealing with the same dilemmas too when we lived as nomads :)
