Many read my column about my travel adventures. You have to know me and the places I’ve been to or of some activities I have been involved in to better appreciate my writings. There's no doubt one enthralled with my travel accounts would notice my love for travel and to discover new extraordinary things, foods, places, animals, culture, history, places and people.
We might have been gone to the same places but we may end up with different opinion. Traveling around is not just about seeing the beautiful world God provided us but to enjoy it, to explore it and continually expand our experiences and how we touch other people's lives, especially our loved ones, when see places. Writing my accounts is not just about crowing about the unique and beautiful places I’ve been to but also to make my readers know that there is more than the beauty of these things, people and places. Earth is our planet and our big playground!
My adventuress eyes give me never-ending reasons to explore the delightful world. Each experience gives me an amazing encounter with the nature that each awe-inspiring place I’ve been to leaves me in venture to seek another spot like it and discover its own uniqueness to behold, promising different joy to indulge in.
The steep and risky way paths up the mountains during my teenage life didn’t prevent me from climbing and reaching the peak. I spent numerous mountainside travels during my school vacations. I love jazzing around, from place to place. Grabbing every opportunity when low-budget expedition comes my way, I was able to reach different places and discover their simple or complex beauty which sometimes even appear to be dangerous to people. And each escapade has been and is truly a meaningful one, always different from the other.
All of us are born adventurers. For our life itself is a never ending lesson and experience and adventure. Each one of us faces day-to-day obstacles in life. Confronting new challenges, searching for new opportunity, testing and processing our ability or knowledge to discover our own unique potential is exercising our adventurism or being adventurous.
Do you remember the first time you recited the whole alphabet? Do you recall the feelings of having done a remarkable thing to yourself? For three or four years old kids, it takes time and it's hard to memorize them all. A lot of memory exercising and reciting were spent but giving up wasn’t our option that time. We already know we have done something remarkable when we first recited the whole alphabet seeing our parents loudly clapping at us and saying worthy praises at us. With the astounding discovery of new joy that made us overwhelmed and proud at the very young age, we euphorically began reciting the whole alphabet more than ten times a day!
Making each gallivanting significant depends on the heart of an adventurer. Some enjoy the risky venture or in search for one, others relinquish a position of watching delightfully or sightseeing, many enjoy curiously study of many things and places, and many activities entail a full life of traveling. Others possess all the characteristics of every adventurer but the solidarity of all is their quest for more in life…
Like for instance, Ferdinand Magellan is famous for his great exploration, Casanova is noted for his amorous adventures and for being a philanderer and Neil Armstrong was a naval aviator who became the first man to touch the moon’s surface. They have different kinds of adventure but in commonality were their pursuit to quench their thirst for knowledge in their curiosity about life, hence, every find calls for a search for more, and more. They put their lives at risk in pursuit of a remarkable life and to satisfy their cleverness.
The lust of learning, the thirst of knowledge, playful mind of imagination, and the worth of every dream will take you to a great adventure - the adventure of life in the beautiful planet we live in and the great universe around us.
So, go for broke!

Ever dream of cruising around the islands of the Philippines? Now this is your chance!
The 7107 Island Cruise Ship opened late last year as the first luxury ship that can accommodate 400 guests in great cruising experience around the country.
Through 7107 Island Cruise we will finally have a chance to tour around the greatest beach and island destinations, journey to these beautiful places like Boracay, Coron, Ditaytayan, Panlaitan, Calauit, Apo Reef, Subic and access to other private islands.
The ship provides a five-star luxury accommodation for every island hoppers and travelers on their journey to these beautiful places in the country.
No other travel package can beat this summer cruise expedition the 7107 Island Cruise is offering. A visit to these beautiful places on a journey while in the comfort of a five star cabin hotel!
Cruising in 7107 Island Cruise Ship could mean this itinerary.
On the first day, embark 7107 Island Cruise Ship at Batangas pier around 10 o’clock in the evening sailing towards Boracay. For first time sailors who can’t sleep at night, there are lots of activities onboard to tire you to sleep like live bands, bar, spa or have a quiet time sightseeing or stargazing at the deck.
The morning comes and long anticipated Boracay oh Boracay! known as the Party Island Escapade! Arriving around noon time the following day will give us a half day lazing around the immaculate white sand beach and a whole night of partying! Make sure you have enough energy to wake up early to enjoy a whole day of fun for water sports activities the following morning.
Following night, the ship will glide again heading to Coron. Let us relax for awhile in Sauna room and have a beauty sleep. We have a whole day unraveling the Coron Island of Calamianes, Palawan!
The Calamianes is rich with coral reefs, mangrove forests reserve, sandy beaches, protected bays and inlets, and majestic karsts and cliff formations which provide diverse array of marine and coastal habitats, making it one of the most bio diverse groups of islands in the Philippines. Coral reefs, sea grass and mangroves border every island that is why some of them are nesting grounds for sea turtles, inhabited by dugongs as well as two species of endangered marine crocodiles, making it a high potential area for marine tourism.
From Coron Island, the ship will transfer in a short distance island also located in Calamianes, to the Ditaytayan Island and Malcapuya Island. These are privately owned by 7107 Islands Cruise’s sister company. It is a special treat to 7107 Island Cruise ship guests. This is where powdery white sand beaches and flourishing coral gardens meet!
Guests can enjoy a picnic lunch in Malcapuya’s Cabanas and then island hop to neighboring islands of Cheron Island and Banana Island and have dinner on the sandbar of Ditaytayan Island which swirls towards the azure sea. Don’t forget to look for Dugong or Sea Cow, Monkey, Wild Ducks and Giant Clams while you are there.
You must be exhausted from Palawan’s island escapade, to bother you an early dawn sailing to Panlaitan. Sureness, you’ll be rushing your breakfast to go out and play volleyball on the beautiful long white stretch beach or start snorkeling to watch the coral gardens bloom beneath these clear waters.
As we sleep at night, we’ll be awake by the time the ship reached Calauit Game Preserve and Wildlife Sanctuary and later a stop at the Apo Reef where the second largest contiguous coral reef in the world can be found!
Spend the rest of the day explore the world of Apo Reef and discover exotic marine life and fabulous coral walls and lagoons!
During dinner time, the 7107 Island Cruise ship will be leaving for the final travel destination – Subic!
Arrive at Subic the following day before noon time where you may await for another travel adventure! From aqua sports to paragliding, hiking and trekking and many more!
So what are you waiting for? Let’s cruise and have fun aboard the 7107 Island Cruise ship this summer! Email me at gagabytes@gmail.com.
