Wanderlust

I will wake up to a new smell

as the plane touches down

on the island, whose natives

with skin browner than mine,

will welcome me with a dance,

to music I will not understand.

I will sit on the sand and watch

the rain crashing into the sea.

I will never leave.

I will never leave.

-The Plan, from Tulaan sa Tren

I'm having a bad case of wanderlust lately. All I want to do is travel and explore new places, preferably a new island or a hidden beach. Anywhere, really. I just want to see new faces, get lost, learn new cultures, and set foot somewhere I've never been before.

And then there's always the island of Boracay. My wanderlust can take me there anytime and I'll be the happiest girl on earth.
