I’m happy to spend time with my guests or give them space
Hi, I’m Tom, a half-Filipino, originally from Australia. I retired to the Philippines at 30 after a career in marketing, trading money for time and a simpler life. These days I read, write, volunteer, and live well with daily exercise, early mornings, and a mostly vegetarian diet. I live with my partner Grace (a psychologist-in-training) and Chuckie, a shy dog with strong opinions about shoes. Check out my website ExpatTech(dot)ph for Dumaguete services.
