Joan Opeña, a good friend of mine who loves to travel said that there’s nothing more thrilling than being exposed to different cultures, people, & food. It’s an adventure in every corner you go…and getting lost in a foreign land may just be the best thing that could happen to you. Whenever she travels, she feel free, brave, rebellious even! “You can be anyone you want to be for a few days, or even be yourself without worrying if your rubber shoes or sneakers don’t match any of your outfits! You find a piece of yourself when you travel, & that is a feeling that you constantly crave for… thus the term “wanderlust” makes so much sense to you”, She added.

Walk, wander and join a local festival. Enjoy the sights and experiences that you cannot get at home, Taking it easy and go slowly, get there slower and enjoy the ride. It broadens your horizon and it challenged you to see the world outside of your comfort zone.

Travelling is a journey to self-discovery; it gives you context in learning new things, do fun and unique things that you cannot do in your home country.
