No itinerary, no tour guide, no checklist of sights. A Try Living Philippines trial is three to six weeks of ordinary life, arranged around the retirement budget you're actually planning to live on.
Every trial is priced around a simulated monthly budget — so what you experience is what your real retirement would actually feel like, not an upgraded version of it.
Tier Simulated budget What's included
Comfortable ~$3,000/month A bright home in a leafy village, local markets, private healthcare within reach
Elevated ~$4,500/month A bigger place in Makati, club membership, eating out, island weekends
Signature ~$6,500/month A premium residence, full staff, fine dining, golf
4-week pricing available on request — Contact us for current rates
Regardless of tier, every trial comes with:
A fully furnished home
A private cook
A driver
A dedicated concierge
Airport pickup and check-in support
A 24/7 point of contact for anything that comes up
A trial isn't a checklist of sights. It's a Tuesday market run. A round of golf. A wellness checkup to see how easy healthcare really is. Dinner with other expats who've already made the move. Staff are there to remove the friction — appointments, errands, day-to-day logistics — so you can focus on finding out if this is actually your life, not on managing a trip.
A short conversation about your goals, budget, and what you want to test
Matching to the right tier and neighborhood
A rough weekly plan — built around your interests, not a fixed script
Clear information about your accommodations, staff, and what's included
Daily support from your cook, driver, and concierge
Flexibility to adjust plans as you go — this is your trial, not ours
Optional introductions to other expats, healthcare providers, and local resources
Regular check-ins to see how the budget and lifestyle actually feel
A candid conversation about what worked, what didn't, and what you learned
If you're ready to explore next steps, we can point you toward vetted, independent resources — visa agents, property professionals, movers — but that decision is entirely yours, on your timeline
