TELL US A FUN FACT ABOUT YOURSELF?
Hi! I’m Dani, a student journalist from Ateneo de Manila University.
WHAT ARE SOME ACTIVITIES YOU LIKE TO DO? WHAT KEEPS YOU BUSY WHEN YOU’RE NOT EXPLORING?
I’m quite a hobbyist, so I’m always trying out new activities! Of all that I’ve tried my hand in, I enjoy writing, cooking, and riding horses the most.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT TRAVELING? WHERE IS YOUR HAPPY PLACE?
My mind tends to wander when I visit someplace unfamiliar, and sometimes, I just like to observe — see where my thoughts take me.
My happy place is anyplace quiet and surrounded by nature, preferable somewhere in my province!
ANY ADVICE ON HOW TO EMBRACE SLOW TRAVEL AND HAVE MORE MINDFUL ADVENTURES?
WHAT ARE SOME WAYS TO HELP US BECOME MORE CONSCIOUS TRAVELERS?
Research is essential when traveling. Perhaps advice would be to try to get to know a destination before visiting it, not just the health or travel restrictions but also the culture and customs of the people in the area.
WHERE WOULD YOU RECOMMEND A QUICK GETAWAY THIS YEAR?
ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR A CLASSIC ROAD TRIP OR AN UNUSUAL (BUT NO LESS INSPIRING) PATH LESS TRAVELED?
Explore your provinces! I’m sure you’ll find some hidden gem you haven’t visited before. I live in Negros Occidental, and I’ve been spending this past year getting to know the island better — visiting local beaches and mountains.
ANY ADVICE FOR FREE-SPIRITED WANDERERS WHO ARE STILL A BIT HESITANT TO GET BACK TO TRAVELING?
Before leaving, do your research. Using the information you gather, decide for yourself if the trip is feasible and safe! And while on the trip, always remember to be mindful, careful, and respectful.
WE’RE ALWAYS HAPPY TO HAVE YOU AT WINK! HOW DOES WINK HELP YOU WITH YOUR TRAVELS?
Wink gives me one less thing to worry about! Their treatments help me feel carefree — confident to take on anything that comes my way.
