Follow Me on YouTube and Learn What It’s Like to Live as a Filipino in the USA

I’ve had my YouTube channel for a couple of years now. But I have not really uploaded much content there.

That has changed!

Finally, I mustered enough courage to relaunch my YouTube channel. The past few weeks, I uploaded several videos to show what it is like to live as a Filipino in the United States of America.

Subscribe and Follow Me!

If you want to learn about the joys and fun stuff of living in America, or to be aware of the challenges, and just learn about How-Tos of being an Overseas Filipino, go subscribe to my channel at http://aMightyLife.com/YouTube.

Right now, I have uploaded some fun stuff that Malcolm (my firstborn) and I have done together; what winter is like in Nashville; and services such as Remitly and Xoom to use for sending money to the Philippines.

In the next few weeks and months, I plan to post more videos documenting our life in the US and sharing How-Tos and tutorials on visa application, Green Card application, Personal Finance, and even Filipino food and restaurants in the USA.

Watch this welcome video to learn more about my channel!

Do you have questions or thoughts about living in the USA? Or do you have suggestions about topics for the channel? Let me know in the comments!

Podcasts from the Philippines that I Listen To… [2017 Edition]

But I am glad that there are more and more podcasts that came out since 2015. Here’s a list of the home grown podcasts that I listen to.

How to Subscribe to Podcasts

Podcasts are an awesome way to learn and be entertained. They could keep you company on a long drive, or when you’re stuck in traffic.

For the uninitiated, according to Wikipedia: “A podcast is an episodic series of digital media files which a user can set up so that new episodes are automatically downloaded via web syndication to the user’s own local computer or portable media player. The word arose as a portmanteau of “iPod” (a brand of media player) and “broadcast”. Thus, the files distributed are typically in audio or video formats…”
