Boracay

“To travel is worth any cost or sacrifice.” – Elizabeth Gilbert

I’ve always been apprehensive visiting Boracay. Every person ive been with to that island i now no longer have a relationship with LOL. That place has always given me bad juju and haven’t visited it since early 2010’s, that is until early this year when my family went for a vacation. What can i say, boracay has always been a gem and even though it has gone through many changes from mom and pop stores littering the shoreline to now replaced by brick and mortar shops and hotels by the shoreline, you’ll never get tired of its powder sand beaches.

We stayed in X for Y days and spent most of our time eating and walking. The hotel is a stone’s throw away from d’mall, which has now grown in size since the first time I’ve been there and a whole slew of restaurants to choose from. We also went on a sunset tour, a highlight of our trip, it was nice to go out and admire the island from the sea. On some mornings we went on a walk by the shore in station 1 and tried paddling and kayaking. When I first visited Boracay it was via Roxas and we took a RoRo boat to get to Aklan and another boat ride to get to the actual island, this was early 00’s, but now getting to and from the island has become truly efficient many thanks to online booking.

This probably wouldn’t be the last time I visit Boracay, however this time I wouldn’t be such a pessimist about the place. It really does leave you in awe of its beauty and all the sand, sea, and surf it offers.
