Okay, what a cheesy little title I have here ;) Reason for the title: the swarm of foreigners looking for a quick dip in the water, cheap sex and future Filipina wives. I am not even kidding. Wherever you look there's always a foreigner in the area, i.e. 1 foreigner is to 5 Filipinos. Nothing against them, though. More about the hidden charges later.
Practically everyone has set foot on its beaches looking for a cheap alternative to Bora. A lot of people actually describe Puerto Galera as a "poor man's Boracay." One day, I came across the Pinoyexchange thread dedicated to PG and people had so many good things to say. The reviews hyped me up so much I suggested to my boyfriend that we spend our 6th anniversary there.
This post will be divided into two main parts:
1. The technicalities - guide on how to go there, itinerary, activities, budget
2. My review - my personal experience and thoughts
