I am an outdoor person. I love to travel, explore new places and
enjoy adventure moments. Could this be
genetic as everyone in the family is like me? Or this could probably be because
we grew up traveling to the countryside often during long weekends and
holidays to reunite with grandparents and relatives. The excitement to see them starts from our
city home and goes all the way to the province and up until we've grown up and
discovered more places to go. In fact, each year wouldn't be complete without
the entire family traveling, exploring new spaces. We have done quite a lot already like
discovering breathtaking waterfalls, fantastic lakes, marvelous rivers,
spectacular hills, and amazing oceans and marine parks. We all enjoy adventures: car touring, bike
riding, camping, picnicking and even bush-walking. All these we love to do after long weeks of
hitting targets and accomplishing tasks.
We most love exploring when siblings come home from overseas. We hook up and party with nature, enjoy each
other’s company like we could recharge a brother’s vigor and top up a sister’s
strength.
Because we love doing what we do,
we certainly prepare for every season of the year. We plan ahead, lookout for
discount flights and hotel promos, and gear up.
We arrange for outdoor adventure sports gears. Like when we planned for touring the
spectacular chocolate hills, we became like watchmen for clearance
hiking shoes from Garmont, trousers, trekker mats and hydration packs.
We had just our waterfall
escapade during the Easter break. The Philippine’s
Tinuy-an Falls is categorically breathtaking.
It was worth gearing up, both us (people) and our lovely car. Nothing is more enjoyable than a very
comfortable trip and for us comfort includes putting on the right suits and
bringing the right packs. We did bring our swimming suits, rented life jackets
and buoys, ensured our slippery-safe sandals, tees and sweatshirts, and
shorts. Hubby was ever ready with his
tools, lights, emergency kits as well.
My family of course wished to
explore the world further. Although we
have tried water rafting and kayaking already, still I wish to try the packages
of The Clymb on rafting and
kayaking. Rafting in class IV-V rapids
sounds really challenging and I could also imagine kayaking in between rising
cliffs, peculiar geologic formations and captivating sea caves of Isla Espiritu
Santo, Baja. I also wish to try
waterfall rappelling in New Hampshire. Oh
God, I have wished a lot now. May I add
on that wish list a reversible Mamala top and Sunamee bottoms from Patagonia?
I don’t want to sound religious
here but God’s creation is really magnificent and awesome that I could only
wish I have all the resources and energy to climb summits, cruise from
continent to continent, discover creatures in Africa, see unique cultures in
Asia, Pacific and Oceania, or at least behold the Seven Wonders of the World.
