Mickael is a French national who became addicted to living abroad after spending a year in the US and about a year in Spain. Learning different cultures, languages and lifestyles has been a huge mind opening for him.

Shortly after graduating, his brother offered the opportunity to come and live in the Philippines. Two weeks later, with 1 suitcase of clothes, 25-year-old Mickael landed in Cebu City. After several job experiences he settled as a Project and Office Manager for an IT company. His work and personal experiences made him go through almost every single administration in the Philippines making him very familiar with any administrative tasks in the country.

After spending 8 years in Cebu City, Mickael couldn’t stand the traffic and pollution of the city anymore. It took only one road trip on a motorbike with his girlfriend to fall in love with Dumaguete. It’s a mix between mountain and beach, province and city and a year later established themselves here. Not a single day passes without him being grateful for that decision.
