about naked expat-banner-background

About

The Naked Expat website logo uses a typeface which is similar to that of a typewriter and includes a small airplane icon.

Stripped Back To Basics

As a trained Chef I always admired Jamie Oliver’s no nonsense approach to cooking. Straightforward, concise and without fuss. This stripped-back mythology wasn’t missed by others either, hence his nickname, “The Naked Chef”.

With this website (nakedexpat.com) I publish articles, information and anecdotes that I think other expats, digital nomads and folks contemplating a move abroad will find interesting and helpful. There is an obvious bias toward the Philippines as that’s where I live now, but most rules apply throughout Asia and for expats in general.

Background

Catering, Retail, Finance and ultimately Managing Director of Investment Management company in the U.K .

Expatriate

After frequent extended visits to Europe and Asia spanning the last 30yrs, I moved permanently to Asia in 2008 .

Parenting

My son Harvey was born in the Philippines 2014. I am pretty much a full-time single parent now.

Asia

After several years living in around Europe & Asia, The Philippines became my permanent home in 2013.

Pagudpud

North Luzon

Pagudpud has a few unspoilt beaches (this one is Saud Beach) and is on the North Luzon coast, a few hours ride from Pampanga. For less stress, overnight in Vigan City on the way.

Marinduque

South of Lucena

A 3 hour RoRo Ferry ride from Lucena Port gets you to this little gem of an island in the Philippines. Steeped in tradition with sandy beaches on the East Coast.

Colourful festivals

Sinulog Festival, Cebu

Festivals around the world are colourful, vibrant spectacles and the Philippines is no different. In every province you can experience these extravaganzas, and even join in!
