Everywhere, Nearby, Somewhere in the Philippines

Tour dates: September 19 2014 to October 3, 2014 D iscovering other places is a privilege that many of us have. It may come in different times and different adventures. The world was created for discovery, not exploitation. So, I took that chance and packed my bags. However, to make it seem a little anti-climatic, packing my bags wasn’t that easy. It had to require precision and a lot of thinking because traveling and leaving two kids and one niece behind can be appalling.

Experiencing the beauty of life entails embracing everything around you and not forgetting nature. Yesterday,15th of June 2014, me, my aunt and friends went on a adventure of a lifetime.  Urban folks as we are, we explored nature like we never did before.
