The life of a American and Filipina Married Couple

Welcome back to James and Karen Adventures! In today’s vlog, our fiber internet went out for nearly a week, so we set up our Starlink Mini on an outdoor pole to keep us connected off-grid here in the province. We also take you around the homestead to check out the progress on Ate Nova and Kuya Kevin’s Bahay Kubo—featuring clever custom PVC ceiling-material cabinets! Plus, an update on digging the septic tank, harvesting and eating homegrown sweet corn and fresh bananas, soil improvement tips, and a bittersweet goodbye as Jennifer heads back to the US. If you enjoy following simple living, DIY provincial homesteading, and intercultural married life in the Philippines, don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe!
