Tropical Martini
Martin here, I'm starting over at 62. After years of rising costs, a broken healthcare system, and the painful estrangement from my three children, I’ve decided to leave the U.S. and build a new life in the Philippines.
This channel is my honest journey—sharing the ups, downs, and lessons of moving abroad, finding peace after heartbreak, and learning to live for now instead of “what’s next.”
If you’re curious about expat life, retiring overseas, or rebuilding after loss, you’re not alone. Subscribe and join me as I create a simpler, more meaningful life one day at a time.
