🇵🇭 Millennials Retiring Early & Living The Simple Island Life
We've been working towards retiring early for over a decade, with the goal of living the simple life abroad as young as possible. Today we got a good example of the rewards from that decision. We discovered a new beach on the island of Siargao and spent the whole afternoon enjoying nature. Choosing to live the simple life in the Philippines has been very rewarding, and the moments of laughter and joy are a good example of that.
We discuss what we think are the reasons that other foreigners also decide to move abroad, and the difference between city life and island life.
Enjoy this simple and calm family moment of our life here on Siargao island in the Philippines.

You were right, Jay. In today's world where social media dominated all aspects of life, to live in this semi-paradise place is priceless! It always reminded me that God created things so beautiful big and small. Amazing God! ♥️
You have given so much inspiration to me and for sure to many. Every time I watch your videos, I feel relaxed and really looking forward to follow your lifestyle… simple, peaceful, relaxing and inspiring… please continue to make videos even just a simple event of your daily life… a big THANK YOU!
Look at Story's beautiful eyes glows every time she sees things that make her heart ponder....what an amazing life you have there Jay, Sacha, Story and of course Poppy....

It’s only paradise when you’re healthy…..able ….financially sound …medical bills in the 🇵🇭 super expensive…governments sucks ….shabby infrastructure
I learned a lot from this vlog. All that Jay said, are so relatable. I am their age , almost in my 40’s hehe. There is no turning back , just live in the moment and enjoy “NOW”! ❤ love from Hawai’i
The simple things that nature can offer which can make you happy cannot be replaced by material things. This adds to your good memories of Siargao.
The sense of wonder from a child’s eyes, enjoying the simple pleasures of life. You have done a great job letting story enjoy family life and her surroundings. Kudos to you both!
Beautiful place, with beautiful family. Thank you for sharing your journey with us
This is giving life coach vibes but I felt so relaxed ❤ Also, Im happy to see you guys are having a great time again ❤ Cheers to good times and the not so good times but we will always be here no matter what! Oh yeah another good brand is Tribu 😊
👍nice place..stay safe guys, God blessed
I love this side of the ocean,you can swim.Story is growing up nicely with this beautiful memories. I did not see Poppy the lucky and happy dog. I love your background Coconut Trees.
I really admire foreigners who love our country Philippines. I'm from Dinagat Islands near Siargao Island but i already live here in Baguio City for some reasons. Thank so much
So beautiful nature there..
Never ceases to amaze the beauty and serene nature you have there.. Truly you'll never be lonely if nature is with you.
Story has spent most of her years in the Phil and she has beautifully blended in everything around her. I know that sometime in the future, she will leave Siargao to look for her own place under the sun but, for now, Siargao is her world and that is where she is happy. I believe that even if she left that place for another one, she will leave her heart in Siargao because that is where she spent her formative years.
This is amazing video. I love it. Your family is precious. The place is lovely, i can almost picture my self there. The rockpools are beautiful. God bless 🙏🤲
Nice vlog if you love nature Philippines is the way to go so relaxing..😊👍
He jjemel time will come that you'll backin your home country and what is left is a beautiful memories from the phil
Enjoy your adventure guys
Agree
Story's getting prettier as she gets order 😘. Another beautiful beach of Siargao. Love to see waves! 🌊
That's a very lovely place,it seems like Story is having a wonderful time.Loving this family moment ❤
What a beautiful paradise mindanao is such a gem we are also relocating in zamboanga an enchanting paradise thank GOD for a wonderful creation phil
Great vlog with the family.
You should do a podcast Jay. You're a very eloquent speaker and the messages that you share are all true and so inspiring. Life should be simple, but it's so hard to introspect sometimes when you can't even hear your own thought when you live in a very "noisy" world. Watching your vlogs have become my stress reliever and it never fails to make feel recharged after.
Beautiful video. Paused the video many times and admired the still photos especially the mother-daughter moment at the rocky beach. Your life is full of picturesque memorable events everyday. Thanks for sharing.
One of the B E S T would be memories of little Story.. ❤😊💞🥰💖🇵🇭
8:00 I agree!! Move away from people. Nice to be peacefully isolated. Such a beautiful place. You can die there doing what you love.
Hello poppy love...playing with other dogs ehh..😊nice to see you.
Story is really an island girl (person) She's so excited upon reaching the beach and knowing she is going to swim. I just can't imagine her life in the UK when she move back for her studies, it will be a culture shock for sure and will miss the country and Siargao where she grew up. I am probably talking about what is in the near future.
♥️👨👩👧👍🌴😎 Enjoyed the adventure of nature and the ocean fun time, The raw of nature is very healing and important for the body. I always found going to the ocean a feeling of calm which refreshed tne mind and body. So, yes, as you said, just what the body and mind need!! Loved your video vlog and all you share of your family time together. A learning path with you all is indeed an adventure! ❤🌲🇨🇦
What an amazing view, and Story's smile tells it all that she really enjoy there❤❤❤

Have not followed your channel for a while - but it is good to see that you all found the "joy of life" again after typhoon Odette ☺
So nice place and view,the best
Love This
Beautiful nature
Yessss❤❤❤
Stay safe and enjoy the nature..
you are so lucky Jay. You have the funds and the courage to do it. I wish I could live a life similar to yours, but my funds are limited.
In Western country you cannot survive without credit card.. people there just work work and work to pay for their bills.. in the Philippines, yeah life is also difficult and cost of living has also risen over the years, but if you are living in the province you can survive. Simple life is the best.. ❤
Give them time to rest, their vlogs are real and shows simplicity in life, I watch other foreigner vlogs also but I always watch their daily vlogs, keep it back guys❤️
Beautiful..
FIRST!! 🤩🥳
Nice hair Story 🇨🇦😘
Maybe story adopted Filipino Resilience even in a simple way or made she makes her happy… whatever problems were made always smile just think positive.
When you're with children, exploring places is like educational, but with only adults, it's like leisure if quiet or having fun if there's much laughter or reconnecting if there's much dialogue.
This beach is awesome ❤
That would be great living simple in beautiful island 🏝️ nice beaches 👌👌👌🥰🥰
Keep in touch!
Love your insight on what is important! Keep up these blogs.
I like ur insights thanks
What a heartwarming glimpse into the simple yet profoundly beautiful island life you're experiencing on Siargao. I didn't get to visit this place when I went to the Philippines early this year. And man, as someone who also shares travel experiences, your story is a beautiful reminder of why we do what we do!🙏🏼
Awe, Story is so fortunate to live there, what a playground! ❤
I would say vloggers retire early from 8-5 regular work. That is okay. But what if vlogging will collapse.. You have to think of an alternate income that you love. doing. Sasha has talent in decor making. I would suggest if you go to Cebu.. A lot of manufacturers are into necklace, earrings and bungled making.. for export. All u have to do is join in an exhibit at Philippine Export exhibit in Pasay city. You have to do first the homework, where to get the materials and manpower in the event you will have market.
The sea 🌊 is my heart beat 💓
I love to watch your video always
Great video. I love being in nature!!! So good for the sole. Wish I could be around the ocean as well.
Goodness gracious Story, I had a big guffaw from your words " a hardcore and a perfect cracked!" Very funny!😆😂
God bless your family . Keep praying and believing in God.
Haha its always best days for story
Very nice place in siargao I'm happy always watching your vlogs.
Seize the moment of happiness
Enjoy a simple life on that beautiful place, and stay happy always guy's ❤️❤️❤️🇵🇭👌👍
like some people say GRATITUDE.
💯 Agree live a simple life and retire early and wish you all the best and take care🎉🌷

Haha good flops are key to island living
I missed your vlog so much 😢❤
Keep going…
I started to watched your blogs,during ur first time in the Phils.met w/sacha's father in Manila.and there was no story yet that time❤ now she is bigger and always watching ur blogs.I hope that the Phil government will grant your family a permanent visa here like do other foreign bloggers does and already acquires.
I watched you guys and what you said about enjoying the moment is true
10th!!! 😄😄😄
better to have aqua shoes guys
Guys Filipinos welshies will definitely explore siargao.We will be in Davao city on the 22nd of May nearly can’t wait 😊But first in our bucket list Davao Occidental lush beach tuwang white beach.
Just appreciate your life
The splash of ocean and Story’s laugh sounds so relaxing. She really loves being in the water either it’s a pool or sea maybe bcoz she’s really good in swimming😊. It’s nice to be kid bcoz you can just be happy and enjoy life to the fullest and don’t have to worry about anything😊
Makes me want to move to Siargao...
Hi sacha story and jay watching from Toronto
You are a good man fren.
❤❤❤young happy family
Yummy foods
The nipa hut/chill shack across the road could be fixed up for a nice little place to live.
SANDUGO,TRIBU,MANJARO is nice slippers.
Only thing in the Philippines when you pull at the side of the road and explore, take extreme care. The terrain is not usually friendly and getting a few bumps, scratches, and bruises are to be expected so take extra care when doing so. Thanks for sharing.
❤❤❤
😊
I always looking forward ur videos, i pray that more subscribers coming coz u deserve.❤🎉
I wonder why,U K is heaven all things found there for life how can it be to choose third world country to live❤❤❤
beautiful beach its not far from you're home god bless and take care always
It’s true, the Philippines could be an ideal country if you’re into the Island lifestyle. They have Manila where you could experience the modern living or small provinces for a simple day to day cycle. My only concern, if you have a medical condition and your current country for example in the USA. Do not expect the same Health Insurance program in the Philippines. Other than that, Philippines is a green light in our list.
❤
Sasha should decorate/bling up her Sandugo flip flops!
This seaside view is so cool😅😮😮😮❤
😊❤
Haaay... I envy you guys. But anyways. Thanks for the paradise video. I can only dream.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
can you try to vlog in the evening those bars they have in general luna? the night party
❤️ 💙 💜
