Looking to move to the Philippines?
We can’t blame you. It’s a sunny, tropical paradise every month of the year. When your friends and family are freezing their butts off, you’re drinking a pina colada by the pool. Every night is a Friday night, and you’re on a perpetual vacation.
The only problem is figuring out a way to fund your dream life. But here, we’ve compiled 6 ways to live the tropical island lifestyle that we enjoy here in Puerto Galera in the Philippines.
1. Work at home part of the year, live in the Philippines the rest of the year
If you have a seasonal job, own your own business, or have a job that enables you to leave for part of the year, you are a prime candidate for living the life here in the Philippines for half the year or more. There are plenty of people who work in their home country doing a wide variety of different work, from landscaping to fighting forest fires. They do that for half the year, then spend the rest of their time in the Philippines.
2. Start a business in the Philippines
Let’s be real: most people don’t have jobs that let them say, “Adios! Be back in a few months!” That’s why there are 5 more things on this list! One of the most popular ways for foreigners to live the tropical island life here in the Philippines is by starting a business. While it’s not always easy, it can be done! That’s how Sean has been living in the Philippines and running businesses for 15 years.
If you’re interested in starting a business in the Philippines, you’re in the right place. Sean has made his knowledge available on his ResortRebel YouTube channel with more than 100 videos containing his top tips on running a business in the Philippines. Or you can check out all of the Badladz blog posts about business here.
3. Be a student
Recently, we published a blog about being a student in the Philippines. If there’s a college degree that you’ve always wanted to complete, doing so in the Philippines might be a good option for you. You’ll find no shortage of good universities here in the Philippines, particularly in Manila. You can spend your vacations scuba diving, snorkeling, or partying with us here at Badladz! Not a bad plan.
4. Live at Badladz for $1000/month
If you have a little bit of savings and some time to kill, we invite you to take advantage of the Badladz monthly package. For just $1,000 per month, you get:
- Accommodation with aircon, fan, queen bed, and cable TV.

5. Be a digital nomad
A digital nomad is someone who freelances or has an online business that allows them to work from anywhere in the world. If you could go anywhere in the world, wouldn’t you want to live on the beach? Badladz is the obvious choice. We have free wifi and everything else you need to run your location independent business. At Badladz, you don’t have to choose between work and play: you can have both!
6. Retire here
Hundreds of expats have found the secret to making their retirement savings go further: moving to the Philippines. With the warm tropical climate that many retirees seek as well as an affordable luxury lifestyle, the Philippines is a retiree’s dream.
All it takes is a little creativity to live the life you’ve always dreamed of! Don’t put it off any longer. Start today!
