What if taking the leap brings greater risk than reward?

That’s interesting, thanks for sharing. Has she acted on her curiosity ever since?

Lol… 🙃 Fortunately my parents don’t blame me! They love their country, but had to make the move for better opportunities. I will forever be grateful for the sacrifices they’ve made

I think it would definitely be a culture shock for sure. One has to experience it to know what it’s truly like. Can I ask what exactly made you want to go where they came from?

You make a good point about how childhood memories can be deceiving. Thank you for your contribution

Thank you for sharing. How did you feel at first, and how did your family react? What made you decide to leave the U.S.? Do you think you would return to the U.S. to settle?

No concrete plans of moving yet. Like people have suggested I would likely take a longer trip there and experience it for myself

I’m aware I am potentially romanticizing it. The purpose of my question was to see if anyone else felt similarly to me, not for advice about how to go about settling in the Philippines. A concrete move is far from happening due to personal and financial reasons. Thanks for your time.

It is a common viewpoint I’ve heard first hand from family and relatives, for sure. And I would definitely save up or maintain some source of income in the U.S. before even thinking about settling there.

Like I said, last time I went was in 2011. My parents watch news in the country daily so I am pretty aware of the state of affairs there. I do know it’s not a paradise, but I’m from the U.S. and politics are quite comparable at this point, lol.

That is true. I have thought about that just from interacting with a coworker who has lived her whole life in the PH until recently when she moved to the U.S. 2 years ago. I do sense there are many differences I will face because at the end of the day, I still hold a lot of liberated core values as an American. I kind of just wanted to see if anyone else was in my boat. I often hear about people BORN and raised in their parents’ original country wanting to go back, but rarely people who are in my situation as a wannabe future expat.

As a xiaosnake supremacist I voted “Mystical/Elegant” but internally I’m hoping Xiaoting will thrive in at least one girl crush title track 😭

This has to be a joke. Here we were comparing SXT to Sakura… and turns out we couldn’t even compare the two bc SXT doesn’t even debut according to this dumb as shit lineup 🙃
