Boracay

Fifteen years ago Boracay had no electricity, no running water. The best accommodation was in native cottages. It was a fishing village and the locals outnumbered the guests. A tropical island getaway.

There was sun, white powdery sand, and fun at night meant singing with a guitar around a bonfire. There was tranquility. Paradise.

Things have changed in paradise. Your cellphone works and there’s WiFi. The crowd is thick and there’s a lot more fun. Paradise is getting harder to keep but it is still a beautiful place. The sun and sand are the same. And if you look hard enough you can still find solitude.

Here's a take on Boracay, Zen and the Art of Paradise Maintenance.
