We finally finished the LoveBird Mansion! Join us for a full property update in the Philippines, from new landscaping and stepping stones to the reality of filing taxes as a YouTuber.

In today's video, I’m showing off the completed multi-room bird mansion and our new customized channel shirts. I also dive into some important information for expats and content creators regarding filing taxes with both the US and Philippine governments, including how I use business expenses like these shirts as write-offs.
We also check in on the garden progress, the new 50lb stepping stones I just installed, and a quick update on our Silky chickens (we’ve been getting double yolks!).

$Don’t Get Ripped Off! 🛑 The Best Way to Exchange PHP to Japanese Yen 🇵🇭🇯🇵 We are getting ready for our big trip to Japan! Today, we are hanging out at WalterMart Paniqui with my dad and my best friend, Albert. While walking around the mall, we stopped by the Core Pacific money exchange booth to swap some Philippine Pesos (PHP) for Japanese Yen (JPY), and you wont believe the horrible deal they tried to give us. They were charging a massive 18% fee markup hidden in their exchange rate! In this video, I break down exactly why you should walk away from these predatory mall money changers and reveal the smart financial hacks we use instead to get the absolute best exchange rates. 💳 How to Save Money Traveling From the Philippines to Japan: GCash Card Hack: Dont exchange cash at the mall. Instead, get fully verified on the GCash app, order a GCash Mastercard/Visa debit card, and load it with PHP. When you arrive in Japan, use a local 7-Eleven (7-Bank) or FamilyMart ATM to withdraw Yen at the real-time wholesale bank rate for a fraction of the cost. Remitly Money Transfer: I also share my top tips on how to efficiently use Remitly for international money transfers to keep your travel funds fluid and secure without losing massive amounts to hidden fees. After the money exchange drama, we head over to the Abenson department store inside WalterMart to browse some new refrigerators, check out appliance prices, and give you a full walking tour of the Paniqui mall layout.
