Lloyd Chua
- Philippines Guide · Metro Manila
Born in the Philippines, raised in Toronto, and now based in Metro Manila for the past 12 years, I have experienced life in the Philippines as both a newcomer and a local.
I started and now run one of Manila’s most active expat communities, supporting retirees, digital nomads, veterans, and business owners as they relocate and build a new life here.
Drawing from my own experience moving from North America to the Philippines, I offer an honest and practical perspective on what it is really like to settle in the country and adjust to life in Asia. From choosing the right community and understanding the culture to navigating housing, transportation, healthcare, and everyday life, I can help you know what to expect and feel more prepared for the transition.
