Hi, my name is Rusty Ferguson. I am an American expat living in the Philippines since February of 2008. I grew up in the Southern USA. I retired early and decided to add some excitement to my life by moving to the Philippines. I am having the best time of my life. If you are thinking about moving to the Philippines this is the site for you. Follow along and learn how to avoid some of the mistakes I have made and some of the things that have gone well for me. With this blog, I cover topics like living in the Philippines, the cost of living in the Philippines, Filipino cultureand the US dollar to Philippine peso exchange rate. Being a lover of photography, there are many photorgraphs throughout this blog. Nearly all of which have been taken by me.

This is Jessie. She is Filipina and is my girlfriend. She has lived in the Philippines all her life is a great source of information for me. She helps me with this website, mostly working in the background as my proof reader. Which is a bit ironic since English is not her first language. Her friends from Tacloban make fun of her because when she speaks English now, she does so with a bit of a Southern Accent. Jessie is an angel but she's got a fiesty attitude. Since she has to deal with me day in and day out, that is a good thing. But I lovingly call her my ornery angel at times. She treats me like a king. |

Since I have been living in the Philippines, I’ve seen things that have caused me to re-evaluate many things. I’ve been exposed to a lot of superstitious beliefs including those revolving around ghost in the Philippines. A lot of what I hear from Filipina still seems pretty far fetched. I can’t totally discount what I’ve…
