Bohol Island Sunset
Going to the Philippines, the land of my ancestors, was an indescribable experience. The islands are absolutely stunning, and the people are incredibly friendly. However, I think what resonated with me the most was how deeply I felt rooted into this land. Both through my ancestry and the striking beauty of the land, I felt a certain magic that is unrivaled by any other place I’ve ever explored.
We saw this scene while driving through Bohol Island. As the sun creepend below the horizon, I screamed to my uncle to stop the car right as we crossed a long bridge. Surrounded by my beloved family members, I have never felt so at home in an unfamiliar place. This powerful spectacle is just a glimpse of the imprint that my experiences in the Philippines have had in my life.
