Episode 3: New Norm Travels 1 with Ms. Kaye B. Lantoria (Outdoor Recreation)

I Need Vitamin Sea

Do you also miss the summer feeling and life in the Islands? Perhaps it is a dream for such people to experience an extraordinary sea breeze and the oceanic waves. The unique vibe of the beach provides us the most comfortable feeling to the point that it takes away all our worries in life for a little while. Reminiscing about my childhood, I've gone to beach resorts with my family and loved ones just seeking for fun and play without having any idea of the beauty of our Tourism Industry. As I grow older, my opportunity to go on a beach vacation has lessened, but a promise I made for myself is to bring back those good times and experience various beaches around the Philippines and the world.

In this episode of outdoor recreation, Ms. Kaye showed us the magnificent beauty of the Island of Boracay. It portrays the life of the tourists in the Island, as they wake up in the morning, take a dip and do memorable activities in the coast, and have some fun during the night time. She exhibited real life in outdoor recreation which really gives a great pleasure and light to the people as we experience the beauty of our nature. In relation to this, the platform also used by Ms. Kaye, the social media to share her life as a gorgeous wanderlust is certainly helpful to boost the Tourism and Hospitality Industry amidst the trying times. Definitely, she really is a certified influencer as she made us realize things to go beyond our perspectives with regards to outdoor recreation even only with her stunning videos.

My only idea of outdoor recreation back then is going on a team building doing various physical activities and having fun myself and with my team. For all that, Ms. Kaye made me realize that it is about having the time of your life outside your usual environment or in your preferred dream places. She became an eye-opener and encouraged not only me but to all the viewers to appreciate the wonders of our own country with all smiles.

As a Tourism Management student and a Flight Attendant in the making, I'll always think of this virtual tour as a motivation for me to strive harder as I prepare for my future. This episode also drives to keep my hopes up burning in my heart in spite of the life challenges we are currently experiencing. Hopefully as this pandemic ends, we certainly deserve to have an momentous vacation which will make us take a trip down memory lane as we grow older. The feeling of the sun touching our skin, the sand on our feet, the oceanic waves letting our bodies move in the water, the food and activities that will leave a mark on our memories, and the people whom we share the moments with to create fond memories. We only pray and lift this all to our Almighty as our Tourism and Hospitality Industry comes back to its shape again.

We should keep in mind to always appreciate the extraordinary beauty of our nature and live our life to the fullest as today, we strive for a successful future to achieve our goals in life.
