Wanting to move for a year

9 years ago
Hi everyone, this is my first post on here and I have been scouring other posts trying to find what I am looking for so forgive me if the subject has already come up. My wife and I are looking at moving to the Philippines in about a year and only staying for a year, we have looked into Palawan and really like the idea if that island. But I cannot find any websites to rent a property, so if anyone knows of a website or an agent they could put us in touch with we would really appreciate it.

The second part is we would like to only spend about $600 USD total for our rent including utilities and internet, is that possible? And with that budget could we be within walking distance of a market and the beach or at least within walking distance of public transportation to markets and a beach? If that's not possible or it is a stretch on Palawan are there other islands that we could do that on? Thank you in advance and looking forward to taking a year off to explore the beautiful islands that Philippines has to offer.
