Moving to Bohol is more than a change of address—it’s a transformation into a new way of life. True success and happiness depend on feeling comfortable, connected, and at home in your new community. Our Lifestyle Integration services are designed to bridge the gap between arriving and belonging. We handle the practical details of daily living and provide the cultural keys and social connections that turn a beautiful island into your true home.
Household Staff Services
A well-managed household forms the foundation of a stress-free life in the Philippines. We simplify the process of hiring reliable, trustworthy help for your home. Our service includes recruitment and vetting of candidates for positions such as maids (kasambahay), cooks, drivers, gardeners, or nannies.
We conduct background checks, verify references, and assess skills to match you with staff suited to your family’s needs. We also provide contract assistance, helping draft clear employment agreements that outline fair wages, responsibilities, and mutual expectations in compliance with local labor laws. Furthermore, we offer basic orientation training for your staff on Western household standards and preferences, fostering a harmonious working relationship from the start.
Cultural Orientation Program
Understanding local customs and social nuances is essential for respectful and enjoyable integration. Our personalized Cultural Orientation Program provides you with the insight to navigate your new environment with confidence. Sessions cover practical local etiquette, including greetings, dining customs, and social hierarchies.
You’ll learn essential Visayan (Bisaya) phrases for daily interactions in the market, with neighbors, and with service providers. We also explain the unwritten rules of community life in Bohol, from dealing with bureaucracy to participating respectfully in local fiestas and traditions. This knowledge empowers you to build genuine, respectful relationships with your Filipino neighbors and friends.
Community Connection Services
Combating isolation and building your social circle is a priority. We actively facilitate meaningful connections based on your interests and lifestyle. We provide introductions to established expat groups and social clubs where you can meet people with similar backgrounds.
More uniquely, we can connect you with local community groups based on hobbies like diving, hiking, gardening, or volunteering, allowing for deeper cultural immersion. For professionals and entrepreneurs, we facilitate networking opportunities with local business councils and chambers of commerce. We believe that a strong social network is the key to long-term contentment.
Family Transition Support
Relocating with a family adds layers of complexity and concern. We offer dedicated support to ensure every family member thrives. This includes school search and enrollment assistance, from identifying suitable international or local schools to arranging tours and navigating the application process.
We provide a family-focused resource guide covering pediatric healthcare, family-friendly activities, safe recreational spaces, and childcare options. We also offer strategies for helping children and teens adjust emotionally, make friends, and stay connected to their home culture while embracing their new one. Our goal is to ensure Bohol becomes a beloved home for your entire family.
