Travel More, Buy Less

I am the taong bahay type. Okay, call me a loser, bummer, boring person, what have yous, but I really find a certain kind of comfort and satisfaction when I just stay home. But because I am already 21, I figure I should try something different. It is never easy living with "could have beens" and they're almost like living throbs in my chest (parang yung recent heart breaker ko ang drama?). So this year, I think I will finally go out of my comfort zone and live with the philosophy of Carpe Diem. Late bloomer? Haha.

So anyway, I will start saving; stop buying stuff like clothes and shoes and start allotting money for travel. There are a lot of places I want to go to and I think I already have the capacity to save for myself and make these dreams of mine come true. To travel alone is what I am eyeing on so far. But if friends and/or (soon to be) lover would join me, then I guess it would be a more fun experience.

Here are some of the places and/or things I want to see or go to as of the moment:



Oh the cherry blossoms. I am a closet Korean drama fan, and I always dream about seeing a loooong street where a lot of cherry blossoms are located. Cold breeze. Pinkish ground. And holding a hand of a lover, perhaps? :p



Harajuku is outrageous. It's crazy artistic and wild! I want to see them in the urban cities of Japan. It's like getting into an anime series or something.




It's my Chinese blood, I guess. I want to see these great walls that my great ancestors built. I want to see for myself how it became a great defense against THE enemies. Hehe.



Aside from the famous good Thai food, I want to try the kind of massage that these elephants do! How does it feel to have that huge thing right above you?





Okay maybe I can go snorkeling somewhere else but I really prefer Palawan. I think it's because I know that even if I don't go snorkel, I will still witness nature's perfect beauty.



This is what I missed when my family and I went to Vietnam last Christmas. Aside from the amazing scenery, I want to try eating at the famous Sea Turtle Cruise. Woah, feeling mayaman. Haha.



Santorini, Greece is definitely my dream city. It's like a perfect escapade for dreamers like me. This reminds me of some movies I saw like Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and Mamma Mia. The architecture and the "all-white" houses beside the blue sea is just amazing.





I like the old 16th century vibe that these old houses in Vigan bring. I want to see them for real and check out what's inside them. This is probably where I will go first for it requires less money than the travels in Korea or Greece. HAHA.


That's it. I guess I will have more dream destinations soon but so far these places are my priorities. Happiness is a holiday, indeed. :)
