Nomad Destinations: The Secret Filipino Island PrideNomads Need to Know About 🤫 

UP FRONT:

🌈 Fund Your Nomadic Adventures Without Starting a Whole-Ass Business.

Want to know one of the fastest and simplest ways to fund your nomadic dreams?

Get paid for recommendations you're already making.

Seriously.

You're probably already doing it.

For FREE.

Just saw Wicked the movie and can't shut up about it?

Universal Pictures isn't gonna pay you a penny for sending your whole friend group to see it.

(Even though they probably should.)

But here's the thing...

Many companies WILL pay you for authentic recommendations.

Especially software companies.

And subscription-based services.

Think about all the products and services you use daily.

The software you swear by. The tools that make your life easier. The subscriptions you can't live without.

FACT: Many of these companies will literally pay you to recommend them.

And some pay REALLY well.

I'm talking about partner marketing (aka affiliate marketing).

Here's how it works:

You recommend something you love. Someone buys through your link. You get paid.

Simple as that.

And the payouts can be significant.

For example, I'm part of a program that pays $1,500 per sale.

Others, like Beehiiv (the platform running this newsletter), pay 50% of subscription fees every month for a full year.

(Yes, that's a shameless affiliate link. Because I practice what I preach—and here's the cool part—I negotiated a better deal for my clients than they'd get going direct. So they save money, I get paid, and Beehiiv gets awesome new customers. WIN-WIN-WIN baby.)

The key is authenticity.

Only recommend products you actually believe in. 

Focus on stuff that genuinely helps people. Be transparent about getting paid.

The best programs to look for?

Subscription-based software and services.

Why?

Because they pay you MONTH AFTER MONTH for a single recommendation.

That's the kind of passive income that funds travel dreams.

Income that keeps flowing while you're sipping margaritas in Mexico City, or catching that all-over tan on Obelisk Beach in Sydney.

Will you make thousands overnight?

Probably not.

But that's not the point.

The point is starting NOW.

Building those relationships. Making genuine recommendations. Helping people find solutions.

Because every commission... Every monthly recurring payment... Gets you closer to that travel fund.

And unlike starting a "whole ass business"...

You can do this TODAY.

With products you already use. To people you already know. Through platforms you're already on.

Just Google "[product name] + affiliate program" for anything you love using.

You'll be surprised how many companies want to pay you.

Start small. Be authentic. Think long-term.

Because the best time to plant a money tree was yesterday.

The second best time is now.

NOMAD DESTINATIONS:

The Secret Filipino Island PrideNomads Need to Know About 🤫 

Listen up...

While everyone's fighting for beach chairs in Boracay...

The smart queers have already moved on to something better.

Way better.

Let me put you onto a little secret called Siargao (pronounced “Shar-Gao”).

Remember how Boracay used to be before it turned into Southeast Asia's answer to Spring Break? Before the mega-resorts and overpriced everything?

Well, Siargao is giving us that same pure magic right now.

But with better WiFi. 😉

Here's what most people don't know:

The Philippines ranks #39 on the Pride Nomad Index - and for good reason. This country's got some of the warmest, most accepting people you'll ever meet.

But Siargao? This island takes that famous Filipino hospitality and cranks it up to 11.

Think about it: • Zero judgment • Zero pretense • Just pure, authentic island life with a growing queer community that gets it

While tourists crowd Boracay's White Beach taking selfies...

You could be:

•  Working from an open-air coworking space overlooking perfect waves

•  Building real connections with fellow nomads who chose the road less traveled

•  Living your most authentic life in a place that feels like it was made for us

But here's the real shit nobody's talking about:

Siargao isn't trying to be the next Boracay. Thank goodness for that.

What you get instead is a place where:

•  The WiFi's getting better (hello, Starlink!)

•  The coworking spaces are popping up faster than coconut trees

•  And the queer community is growing organically, without the rainbow-washed tourist traps

I've heard about digital nomads roll in planning to stay a week...

Only to cancel their outbound flights and stay for months.

Why?

Because this island has a way of showing you what life COULD be.

Imagine:

•  Waking up to actual roosters (not your phone's alarm)

•  Having morning meetings with an ocean view

•  Taking surf breaks between Zoom calls

•  Finding your chosen family among fellow nomads

•  Living authentically without breaking the bank

(And yeah, $1,500/month gets you living GOOD here.)

Look, I'm not gonna BS you...

Siargao isn't perfect.

The power sometimes plays hide and seek. The nearest airport's tiny. And sometimes you'll miss big city conveniences.

But that's exactly what's keeping it real.

While Boracay drowns in tourist traps...

Siargao's still got soul.

And for PrideNomads?

This soul hits differently.

Because beyond the surfing, beyond the sunsets, beyond the Instagram-worthy coconut roads...

There's something more valuable:

Space to be yourself.

Room to breathe.

And a community that gets it.

The Philippines' famous warmth combined with island living and a growing international queer presence?

That's the kind of magic you can't manufacture.

But here's the thing...

Siargao won't stay secret forever.

The same way Boracay changed, this island will too.

The difference is...

You're reading this now.

You've got the inside track.

You can experience Siargao while it's still real.

While it's still magic.

While it's still ours.

Just don't say I didn't warn you when you end up staying longer than planned.

Way longer.

Welcome to the inside track, beautiful humans.

Use this knowledge wisely. ✨
