In fact, Jon keeps asking me about how he can get a permanent resident’s visa in the Philippines.
We both want to buy land to build our very own yoga resort in the Philippines. Jonathan and I are both long-term travellers and us living and settling down in the UK couldn’t be further from our minds.
Yes, there are perhaps some Filipinas dating foreigners who have this reason but not in most cases! I was already travelling on my own long before I met Jonathan (well, I met Jonathan while travelling!). I’m dating a Foreigner because I need a Visa or his British passport. I’m not generalizing, and if you can relate then awesome, if not, I didn’t intend to offend any of you. Note: This is based on my personal experience and life story.

After a few months of just keeping in touch on facebook while I continued my solo backpacking, Jon and I decided to be officially together, and we’re now together for almost two years! I’m not lucky cuz I’m with a white man – we are BOTH lucky to have each other cuz we deserve the best! Unexpectedly, during a few days exploring Luang Prabang, Laos, I met Jonathan! If you’re traveling on your own, you’ll meet a lot of travelers – mostly European, and being a backpacker you shouldn’t expect another backpacker to take you to an expensive restaurant – oh and he’s British btw.
Here are the most common misconceptions that I want to clear up – We would love to hear other Filipinas’ stories so please feel free to share your experiences below! This is also for all the Filipinas dating Foreigners instead of our Filipino men and being judged for it!
