Travelling
feeds our souls. Opens our eyes to the natural beauty of different culture,
ethnic diversity, nature, places and the wonders of how God made the earth. To
be able to travel means breathing in a new ideas, knowledge and memories of the
places a person was able to traverse. It let us grow for a short period of
time. It is one of a kind experience unique to each and every traveller and a
lasting feeling that even memory would rust; the joy it gives will still be the
same. It is the power of being able to travel.
Every
time I am asked about what I want to become when I was young, my answer would
always be A Traveller, a travel magazine writer in particular. I always receive
a follow up question, why? My answer is always simple. I want to discover the
world. Until today, my dream is still the same but deeper reason. I want to be
enthralled by the beauty of nature, try the best food in every place in the
world and to fulfil my promise to my mother that I will be able to go to places
that she was not able to visit. There are a lot of places I have in mind local
and foreign. But there are top three places I want to pay a visit. They are
Cebu, Tagbilaran and Incheon, South Korea. As a traveller who is not able to
step my feet in other islands apart from Mindanao, I am thrilled to share to
you my travel destination wishlist.
Cebu

I
want to visit the queen city of the South, Cebu-the heart of Sinulog Festival.
It is also the haven of my roots that is yet to be discovered. My father is
from Argao, Cebu. They are twelve siblings. But I only know one of them. My
father died when I was 18. We were not able to contact his family in Cebu and
tell them what happened to my father. We do not have any communication and it
hurts me the most. I want to visit Cebu to discover my roots. What does my
father’s environment when he is still growing up? What are the faces of my
father’s other siblings and my cousins? Most especially to bond with them
because I am pretty sure that even we bump into each other in any place, we
will never recognize each other. It is so sad for me. Secondary for me in
visiting Cebu is to see for myself their majestic and world class white sand
beaches. To experience watching whale shark in Oslob, eating the famous dangit
dried fish and dissect the busy streets of Cebu City. It would be journey of a
lifetime.
Kalibo

If
someone would ask, “Who wants to visit Boracay?” I would definitely raise my
hand and feet if it is what it takes to be able to travel to this wonderful
paradise. Rated by many famous travel sites in the world as the best beaches in
the world, it is definitely anyone’s dream destination and I’m not an exception
to that. I want to experience plunging in the beach everyone is talking about. I
want to touch its famous white sand and lie down to it. Party all night in
different bars and eat its local delicacies. See for myself the beautiful
sunset and sunrise. Take picture of it as well as part of my souvenirs. Immerse
with the local in the place and listen to their stories about the famous
landmark. I want to know more about the islands past, present and future. In
that way, I will be able to have stories to tell when I leave the place. I want
to be able to see Boracay not only as famous destination but as a home away
from home.
Incheon,
South Korea

Anywhere
that is a part of South Korea, I will definitely want to step my foot in it. I
am a big fan of the Halyu Wave. I am addicted to Korean movies, listen to their
songs, dance in the tune of their music and cry in their taped melodramas. I
can even memorize their names even in the snap of my finger. It is who I
am. To be able to step in Incheon, South
Korea will be a dream come true. I want to experience their different culture.
Explore their history, in vibe their ideals and see their tourist spots. I want
to visit their famous temples, eat their local delicacies and experience their
hospitality. See for myself what the third biggest city in South Korea has to
offer. I want to be lost their Chinatown, understand their rich history through
their museums and walk in the streets of Incheon to observe the locals. Those
top my list of what to dos.
