After three weeks of visiting and traveling with my mom in Hong Kong, Macau and Korea, I’m starting my next backpacking adventure. Tonight I fly from Incheon to Manila and from there to Boracay for a few days of much needed sunny RnR on a pretty beach. I know Boracay is “overrated” but it’s one of the places I didn’t go as a volunteer, and right now I could use comfort and a few familiar treats. The getting there is going to be a long trip, I’ve got an 8-hour layover between flights, but I’m looking forward to sunny days, sandy beaches and nothing to do but read.
