A Barangay in Bohol: The swings and roundabouts of an expat's life in the Philippines

If you've ever thought of upping sticks to give up the rat race for a paradise island in the far east this book is for you. I did it in 2009 and left Europe for the Philippines, having met my lovely wife there on a holiday. This book is a combination of memoir, how-to and travel book and is sure to guide you through the pitfalls of girl trouble, immigration, buying or building a house and much more. It's an essential but fun story that should serve you well even if you just want to find out more than what the travel guides tell you. There is no substitute for experience and having lived there for nearly three years I gained lots of it!
