In this video, I’m taking you along to a Christmas party at Calabeera Restopub in Dumaguete, Philippines—a place that holds a special meaning for me. This is where I met my very first friends after moving to the Philippines as an expat, and they welcomed me with open arms from day one.

From great food and drinks to laughter, music, and genuine Filipino hospitality, this night was a perfect reminder of why I love living in the Philippines. Christmas here isn’t just a holiday—it’s about community, friendship, and making everyone feel like family.

If you’re thinking about living in the Philippines, visiting Dumaguete, or just curious about what expat life and Filipino culture are really like during the holidays, this video gives you a real, unfiltered look.
