Welcome to My Blog!
Hi there! My name is Marco, a proud Filipino and an OFW (Overseas Filipino Worker) based in the UAE. Like many of my fellow kababayans, I decided to try my luck abroad in search of greener pastures. It hasn’t always been easy—there have been highs and lows, moments of joy, and times of struggle. But through it all, I’ve learned so much, and I’m excited to share my journey with you.
This blog is my way of giving back to the OFW community and anyone who’s curious about life abroad. Whether you’re an OFW yourself, planning to work overseas, or simply looking for tips on how to navigate life’s challenges, I hope you’ll find something valuable here.
A Little About Me
I’m happily married, and my wife and I have been through a lot together since moving to the UAE. Like many OFWs, I’ve faced my fair share of challenges—from being exploited at work to experiencing unemployment and the anxiety that comes with it. There were times when I felt lost, insecure, and even depressed. But one of the biggest blessings in my life was when my wife and I were invited to join Couples for Christ (CFC). This community helped us rediscover our faith and realize God’s love in a deeper way. Today, even in the midst of struggles, we hold on to that faith and find joy in serving Him whenever we can.
Right now, I’m working from home while still searching for a regular full-time job. I’m also exploring ways to start a business here in the UAE. It’s not easy juggling everything, but I believe that with hard work, faith, and a little creativity, we can make things happen.
What You’ll Find Here
This blog will be a mix of personal stories, practical tips, and guides on how to survive and thrive as an OFW in the UAE. I’ll share my experiences—both the good and the bad—and offer advice on how to overcome challenges, manage finances, and make the most of life abroad.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Job openings: I’ll post opportunities I come across to help fellow OFWs in their job search.
- Tipid tips: Practical advice on how to save money and live frugally without sacrificing quality of life.
- Cooking tips: Easy and budget-friendly recipes to satisfy your cravings while staying within budget.
- Side hustles: Ideas on how to earn extra income while working full-time.
I also want this to be a space where we can connect and learn from each other. Feel free to share your own stories, tips, or questions in the comments section. Let’s build a supportive community where we can help one another succeed.
Let’s Journey Together
Being an OFW isn’t just about working hard—it’s about finding balance, staying resilient, and making the most of every opportunity. Whether you’re here for the job tips, the life hacks, or just to read about my experiences, I’m glad you’re here.
Don’t forget to share this blog with your friends and family, especially those who might find it helpful. Together, let’s navigate the ups and downs of life abroad and make the most of our OFW journey.
Proud to be Pinoy, proud to be OFW! Proud to be CFC.
