You plan to move to the Philippines? Wollen Sie auf den Philippinen leben?

There are REALLY TONS of websites telling us how, why, maybe why not and when you'll be able to move to the Philippines. I only love to tell and explain some things "between the lines". Enjoy reading, be informed, have fun and be entertained too!

Ja, es gibt tonnenweise Webseiten, die Ihnen sagen wie, warum, vielleicht warum nicht und wann Sie am besten auf die Philippinen auswandern könnten. Ich möchte Ihnen in Zukunft "zwischen den Zeilen" einige zusätzlichen Dinge berichten und erzählen. Viel Spass beim Lesen und Gute Unterhaltung!

Large Expat Surveys Worldwide by Internations

Hi Klaus!

My name is Léa Quivy and I’m part of the team at InterNations. We’ve conducted one of the largest expat surveys worldwide with over 14.000 participants representing 174 nationalities. The “Expat Insider 2016” was released in August and covers an in-depth report ranging from basic facts about demographic data to the moving process!

I really enjoyed reading your fantastic blog and I truly believe that it has been helpful to many expatriates who decided to settle in the Philippines. I like your well detailed and long posts which give a great insight to life in the Philippines and into its culture. I am sure it is appreciated by fellow Philippines based expats and expats-to-be as well.

We thought you and your readers might find it interesting that the Philippines ranked 6th out of 67 countries in terms of settling in, 7th out of 67 countries in terms of friendliness, 9th in terms of cost of living.

What Makes Me a Global Mind? www.internations.org interviewed me...


In our InterNations Recommended Blog section we let you take the spotlight! Expat life in general is, of course, a perfect breeding ground for great, user-generated reads, and life in the Philippines makes no exception. Take your time and browse the great blogs showcased in this article!


Please tell us a little bit about yourself. Who you are, where you come from, when you moved to the Philippines, etc.
I am from Northrine Westfalia in Germany and moved to the Philippines for good in 1999 after visiting the country since 1982 regularly. Right now I am teaching German language at a state university in Davao City/Mindanao; I am a journalist for radio/print/TV and a certified translator, blogger and businessman.

When and why did you decide to start blogging about your experiences?
I started blogging some 10 years ago, because that's the easiest way to tell the whole world what you are thinking about.

Do you have any favorite blog entries of yours?
Unfortunately, I don't have any favourite entries of my blog yet.

Tell us about the ways your new life in the Philippines differs from that back home. Did you have trouble getting used to the new circumstances? Did you experience culture shock?
I got no problems in my new expat life.

Do you think you were fully prepared for what awaited you in the Philippines? If you could, would you change some decisions/preparations you made?
Yes, I was fully prepared and I would never regret that I moved to the Philippines. Many expats just came here - very blue-eyed and then complaining. My advice: plan first before you move here.

Every expat knows that expat life comes with some hilarious anecdotes and funny experiences. Care to share one with us?
Sorry, nothing available right now.

Which three tips would you like to give future expats before they embark on their new life in the Philippines?
  • Check first your financial background. If you are in financial troubles, nobody will help.
  • Second: Think before moving here, what you gonna do. Being bored is killing.
  • Third: Try to stay in the Philippines for a year or so, before you break down all bridges to your home country.

How is the expat community in the Philippines? Did you have a hard time finding like-minded people or fellow expats?
There are a lot of expat communities in the Philippines. As a journalist I didn't have problems to find same-minded expats.

How would you summarize your expat life in the Philippines in a single, catchy sentence?
There is no paradise on earth, but it's really fun in the Philippines.

What makes me a Global Mind? There are many answers. I was always interested in foreign countries and their people and culture. And, my spouse is from the Philippines. Of course, http://www.internatons.org with an awesome large network around the globe helped me a lot connecting more global minds - not only in the Philippines.
