Me and my BF are thinking the Philippines, Laos or Cambodia. The Philippines is the top choice, if we saved a little would we be able to live their for about a year? i am not one who eats much, and we seek little Comfort. We would like to see what it would be like to be living of the land. Is this possible? If so how?? And any tips? (:

You must either have significant prior experience living in these very hazardous conditions and/or have a significant support system should you require assistance. Do you? Remember, you DO/ARE NOT: -speak the language -understand the culture -immunized from pathological, human or environmental hazards -have a real thought-out plan for surviving there I read through some of your other questions here, and so far, the most worrysome aspect of your life you care about is whether your cat can drink tap water or whether your shampoo is gonna "hurt" your hair. Oh dear, you have no idea what awaits you outside of your cocoon in the jungle honey. unimaginable stuff that you cannot run to daddy to. Nature's way of dealing with your unpreparedness is to kill you off one way or another. Think hard and twice.

Yes, you can live here as long as you want... choose a good place so you and your bf will enjoy living here... make sure you have enough money to spend for a year and atleast you must have a filipino friend that will guide you incase of trouble, emergency or even direction. Yeah PH is a good choice! here are some local places that are good to live... Baguio city. Cebu city, Davao City, Palawan, Bohol, Iloilo, Subic, Batangas, Tagaytay, Cagayan de oro city etc. make a research of these places and hopefuly you'll find that suits to your lifestyle. Goodluck!

many filipino's and other asians are experts at living on very little,i seriously doubt you could compete,in the philippines there is very little free food,wild fruit,wild game etc,for sure without some resources you will starve!!!!

the Philippines is a nice country , make sure you do your homework get a safe place !!! Some places are dangerous , Cebu , and Ormoc Leyte , are safe places ,, i would not even think about living in Manila , you can rent a place rents are cheap , in the Philippines its very hot i think you will have to get air conditioning , i also would make sure you have insurance !! its a beautiful country , but people think white people are rich in the Philippines ... Many locals only live on only 75 dollars a month , you can live of the rice and some fruits and fish , i think you could live there for 6000.00 dollars in a hotel for one year in a remote area you can get cheaper .... and buy foods on top of that
