Studio Friday: Travels

"Most travelers content themselves with what they may chance to see from car-windows, hotel verandas, or the deck of a steamer...clinging to the battered highways like drowning sailors to a lifecraft." -John Muir(1838-1914)

I enjoy travelling. I learn a lot from travelling-going from one place to another, being a witness to a lot of activities, festive ocassions or just enjoying the silence of the sea and whispering of the waves.....

When I have decided to live in another country, I was lucky enough that I have already went around my homeland the Philippines. I really had a nice time exploring my country of birth and was able to discover a lot of new and different things. It is a big and beautiful country. We have lots of beautiful beaches, (some of them are still untouched-meaning are not really tourist areas) lots huge mountains that I thought I cannot climb and a wonderful combination of different cultures. One thing I also enjoy is discovering new recipes from every place I have been to. I have lots of pictures but, unfortunately I left many of them at our maternal home and some of them are in the basement right now. When I got married, I was lucky enough to have travelled with my ex-husband who is a journalist. I buy some little things when I travel but the ones I have bought are lying in a box in the basement , some of them-my ex-husband and myself have divided to ourselves. Here you can find in the picture, are some on display in my sala and, some pictures I have managed to find.
