Life in a
megalopolis moves very fast. We are always busy, constantly running somewhere, trying
to do 10 tasks at the same time. Relaxation has become just impossible for us but
everyone has got a moment when they just want to escape and wake up one morning
in a totally peaceful and magic place. I’m told on good authority if you are
looking for such a place, you HAVE to go to Boracay Island.
You might
have a perfect life but still feel that a piece of your happiness is missing.
You can travel around the world looking for it. Every time you visit a new
place you might think that there you can find the lost piece and finally reach
the perfection of happiness but it is not easy and you leave very disappointed
and carry on looking for new destinations. One day you finally arrive in
Boracay and your life completely changes. You feel something you have never
felt before and this beautiful feeling will be felt by everyone who comes to this
fantastic island. The first person who told me about Boracay island was my
friend Sorin whose story I am going to tell.
Sorin
arrived in Boracay two years ago in 2011 and he just fell
in love with the island. It was the place where he felt free, happy and contented.
He met lots of young people who had come to visit the island and never left it.
Everything else seemed to be so unimportant for them that they decided to spend
the rest of their lives on Boracay where every day was another happy day with
no worries. Sorin was so impressed by the lifestyle on the island that he moved
there. He found new friends, met lots of interesting people from all over the world and decided to
do photography and travel PR. I asked him to tell me his impressions about the
life he has got now and here is what he said:
“Boracay is
the place where you can spend your time not only being with friends and family
but also alone. Even if the island is small you will never get bored there. If
you like practicing sports you will find lots of people passionate about
windsurf, kiteboarding, scuba diving and skimboarding. You can also become one
of them and discover your hidden passions. If you need to relax you can enjoy
the wonderful White Beach lying on the sand listening to the waves’ sound but also
have a relaxing massage on the beach or at “massage stations”. If you want to
spend some time dreaming and discovering something you have never seen before
have a walk around the island and see the incredibly beautiful views. Go in a boat
tour and find out virgin beaches, small islands and just feel the freedom being
in the middle of the ocean. After an active or relaxing or spiritual day (every
day can be different for you) you can join the beach party where people dance,
drink and have fun until the morning. I've seen lots of people who left behind
their previous lives and found peace and happiness here. There is something
special about this place I can not explain…but one thing I am certain about –
this island is magical.”
I am still asking
myself is Boracay dream or reality? I would be happy to accept both of them. If
it is a dream – it is the most beautiful thing I can see when my eyes are
closed and if it is reality – this is the place where I want to be!
With love, Margo x
