Destinations
- Malapascua Island, Cebu
In the whimsical world of The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, Bill Murray’s character plays an oceanographer on a rather personal mission: to get even with a shark that supposedly ate his friend. It’s all very dramatic, very cinematic. In real life, though, sharks are far less interested in revenge and far more occupied with minding their own business.
- Busuanga Island, Coron
I’ve noticed, over the years, that my approach to travel has become far more relaxed. I no longer feel the need to conquer a destination or plan every minute of an itinerary. These days, I prefer to arrive at a leisurely pace – ideally greeted by a warm foot wash, a mojito royale (the house version, generously topped with prosecco), and, if luck is on my side, the chance to spot a dugong (more popularly known as a sea cow) or two during the week.
