Moving to Boracay

irhxcbcziuzxs — Tue Nov 03, 2009 7:15 pm

Author: irhxcbcziuzxs

Posted: Tue Nov 03, 2009 7:15 pm

I recently had a trip out to the Philippines, though I mostly stayed in Manila my trip, I did have a chance to visit Boracay for a few days.

I made a friend out there who was living in a place on white beach for 200$ USD a month. Hearing of such a thing and being that I have a new found addiction to scuba diving I cannot wait to go back.

Unfortunatley, finding anything less than expensive on google is impossible. So if anyone has any advice on where to look let me know!

Also there is a nearby island to Bora that i local friend of mine said that you could lease land there for extremely low amounts a year, I again could not find anything of the sort from google. Again, points in the right direction would be great!

Thank you!
