On a whim, I packed my bags and jumped into the next van to Caticlan, sat nervously next to a smelly Korean guy on the boat, and now I’m in Boracay, working in a small clinic on an out-patient basis. So far, I’m doing okay. My accommodations aren’t what I was expecting, but the people I’m with are warm and friendly. It’s the lean season and there aren’t many people, but the beach is far from peaceful. I have never seen such angry waves. This morning, when I woke up, the sky was calmer so I took an early stroll, bought myself a cup of warm taho and tried to just breathe everything in. The first thing I realized was that I came here because I wanted to be independent. To be my own woman. And that this is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been in, but being alone here with no one to keep me company but my own thoughts, it is also the saddest place in the world…
