ALWAYS TRY
SOMETHING
NEW
“Whether it’s local cuisine or
an unusual activity, it’s important
to step out of your comfort zone,”
she says. “In fact, once we do it, it feels so
comfortable! We all have an inner nomad.
It’s extremely rewarding when we travel,
or to simply live this way. And I have yet to
visit many destinations in the Philippines.”
EAT RIGHT
“I always hear people say they gain
weight after a vacation, but that shouldn’t
be the case. In fact, it’s the best time to
keep the weight off. Plenty of fresh air,
eating organic food and partaking daily in
enjoyable activities are enough to keep you
healthy and happy,” Rachel explains.
“Organic food has never tasted better
than at Bohol Bee Farm. It is worth a visit,
even if you’re staying elsewhere in Bohol.
The farm has three large restaurants that
serve innovative, exotic dishes. It also has
exciting livelihood activities that visitors can
partake in, along with delicious farm-made
products or gifts for sale for sustainability.
There’s a bakery, a fabulous herbal
hilot
spa, a handicrafts store, informative marine
and land tours, coffee and chocolate
products, as well as a ‘food for the gods’ ice
creamery, which spoons out adventurous
flavors like
malunggay.
Most products are
made or grown on the premises including
herbs, spices, fruits and vegetables.”
