I thought of opening up a travel blog. And I did, so here it is. As I was thinking of a perfect place to be my very first ‘featured spot,’ breathtaking sunsets and sunrises, as well as lovely beaches and azure waters flashed in my mind, trying to outdo one another. But soon a much compelling place dominated them all. The view is of lush greens and mountains through which spring waters flow. As I focused the spot to watch it more closely, I heard music — that of chirping birds and kids laughing. Then I recognized the view; it is of home.
Indeed, there is truth to the saying: “There’s no place like home.” For no matter where our travels might bring us, our hearts will always yearn for home. So allow me, please, to bestow the honor of being the very first featured place in this site to that place where I grew up in.
