In this video, we meet up with Dave, an expat from Canada who left it all behind to start fresh in the Philippines. We take an epic mountain motorcycle ride through the scenic roads and viewpoints of Libacao, testing out Dave's custom 222cc Big Bore Honda XR against the steep inclines. Along the way, Dave shares his real, transparent cost of living breakdown—from rent and 24/7 air conditioning electric bills to food budgets and multicab transportation—and explains why he never plans on returning to the West.
