Everyone's got a love story to tell —
whether it's about a
better half, a personal project you've been working on, or a goal you've
poured your heart and soul into. Whatever the pursuit or struggle, common
themes thread these luminous experiences: the value of kindness, the
rewards of courage and perseverance, the possibilities of daring to dream
and, of course, the fun and adventure that come with following your bliss.
In this February-March double issue, we've gathered what we think
are inspiring stories worth sharing: in pursuit of adventure, two girls leave
everything behind to go on a
six-month back-packing tour of
South-East Asia
(
page 48
)
, while three couples share their journey
towards the quaint seaside
resorts they now run with a lot of
heart (
page 54
).
If it's food that makes your heart beat, get a load of our
insider's guide to the best and freshest
seafood in Cebu (
page 80
)
.
We're just as excited to share what we've been working on — a bigger
network with more routes, more destinations, and more possibilities
for you. First stop: in March, Cebu Pacific Air starts flying to historic
Hanoi (
page 98
),
making that two destinations for us in the land of
pho
.
Whether you're traveling to Ho Chi Minh City or, as some people still call it,
Saigon (
page 91
),
or heading north to
Hanoi, let our Vietnam Special be your
guide to an unforgettable experience.
Every trip, after all, is a chance to write
your own story.
