Layag Volume 4: Philippine Global Explorer Travel Magazine

Modern day travel, as we all know it, is hopping around the world with the top goal of country counting. Little do we know, as we tread upon these new destinations, an unknown truth unfolds. With each trip, these unfamiliar places become blank canvases waiting for us to intricately paint our self-portraits which reflect an unchartered territory within us.

“Embarking on uncharted territories, the explorer not only discovers the world but also unravels the mysteries of the self.”

– CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS

Beyond the mere exploration of cities and countries, there lies a metaphorical voyage into the depths of our characters and aspirations. Often unaware, this sentiment resonates deeply with each one of us as we embark on a personal journey that transcends geography—an inward odyssey, a quest for self-discovery. It’s a testament to the innate human desire for growth, resilience, and an optimistic gaze towards the future. With every step, we do not only discover places, but we also slowly discover ourselves. Through self-awareness, we approach a new horizon that promises endless possibilities, each one uniquely our own.
