Me and a friend are thinking about opening a guesthouse in the Philipines.
We have been travelling together in the past and were always talking about the idea (both unhappy with our modern life, willing to do something with our own hands, fascinated by the idea of making a unique place...). So when we travelled the Phillipines during February and March, by chance we found some cheap piece of land, roughly 1 hectar on Palawan in a not yet well developed area. Right now, there are many road projects and even a new airport being built in the North of the island and neighbouring villages have already grown into semi-touristical, but still very romantic and quiet places.
We feel like this could be a nice place for a guesthouse.
If there is interest in discussion, I am gonna share some more information. Right now, we are looking for all insight we can get on the procedure. So if anyone can share something, like stories of people who did something like that, financial knowledge, maybe first-hand experiences, we would be very glad.

>earthship
Really nice, I like the idea of attaining a degree of sustainability.
I`m most interested in the practical stuff right now. How did you pay for it, how did you cope with local companies and workers, did you face legal troubles?

>earthship
faggiest shit I ever had the displeasure of googling, thanks for nothing, hippie
>>1091007
How did you go about that? The legal framework doesn't allow them here yet, but I'm definitely interested.

>cheap house that can be built by yourself and is largely to completely self-sustaining, eliminating many costs
Honestly, what's not to like? It's not like you need to make sacrifices.
>>1091013
sounds like you're projecting you typical hippie.
I will make it my mission to somehow get atleast 1 "earthship" ruined by some legal manner, be it from bylaw violations or other legal methods
You've activated my autism.

Pay ? Save up money with work ?
And the rest. Wel its cambodia. No rules and u get a full time slave for 100 dollars a momth.
I just came back from Phils last week, but did not go to Palawan. I went to Bohol instead. What did I miss? How are the girls there?
Earth ships/domes in the making. Just 2000 a pop
