We often look to the New Year
for all the hope that a clean slate
brings — a chance to do things over, make things right or simply shoot for
something better. So we're leaving the year that was behind grateful for all
the experiences, and moving forward only with the lessons that will serve
us in good stead. We're just as excited as you are for 12 whole months of fun
and exciting travel and adventure; so for our first issue for 2012, we've put
together a handy guide on
how to prep
for the year ahead
(page 44)
.
Get off to a flying start and soak up some ideas on
how to travel
better this year
(page 52)
. Here, seasoned travelers share travel
wisdom we sometimes forget, and would do well to be reminded of. For
instance, it never hurts to plan ahead; and if you're looking for some ideas
for the coming months, we've put together an issue to whet your travel
appetite: follow the
Bicolandia's food trail
(page 60)
, where you'll
discover so much more to the local cuisine than Bicol Express; get stoked
on sandboarding along the dunes of
Laoag
(page 76)
; explore the laidback
charms of
Bohol on a budget
(page 83)
; or, further afield, witness a
bidding frenzy for the best catch of the day in
Osaka's fish market
(page 68)
. Wherever you choose to go, here's another nugget of wisdom we
sometimes need to be reminded of —
every journey is a destination in itself.
Happy New Year!
