I used to go vacation at Sabang PG, until one day I said, what the hell and just moved there.

Sabang, Puerto Galera

Sabang, Puerto Galera

About 7 years ago I accidentally found Puerto Galera on a flyer in Manila, I was looking for a quick get away so I tried it.

A few hours later I was in a nice little town named Sabang. After a great western meal and checking into a comfy room the sun set and I could hear the party starting. I do not remember how but my lonely escape was short lived all of a sudden I was surrounded by beautiful girls all so happy to meet me hahaha.

After returning several times for vacation and scuba diving I feel in love with the place and feel out of love with the American rat race.

I grabbed my back pack and camera and went to Sabang. That was about 4 years ago.
Life is very simple now I wake up and have my morning coffee and walk down to the dive shop greeting my many friends along the way. I meet more friends and meet new ones daily at the dive shop.

I am getting better at underwater photography and diving every day is a great way to relax and meditate. When I decide to go out at night there is always a party, whether it is just me or a group we always have a great time and since we are walking we never get arrested or crash a car haha.

I still work a rotation shift abroad and have since found a great wife and have kids there but the lifestyle and affordability make it well worth it.

It may not be for everyone but I LOVE SABANG.........

I will look in to it , as a possible stop on our next vacation. Have considered moving to the Philippines in a couple of years for retirement. Any good history there ?

it is only a few hours from manila. Go to the bus station I prefer JAC liner catch the bus to Batangas pier about 2 hours,then take a Banca boat to Sabang it drops you at the pier in front of everything a 5 minute walk to anywhere in town and the porters will carry your bags for a dollar.

Where in the Philippines is it located? Sounds like a good place to explore, I have mainly been in Bohol & Cebu in the central Philippines.
