LJ LacboWhere do broken souls go? To the place where they can find peace and clarity.
Admit it. We all need a moment to breath in and out of the exhausting fast-paced city life. Whether or not we enjoy our 9-5 job or your 3 hours class, if you’re in college, we all need a specific week in a year to recharge and re-evaluate ourselves.
Happiness is all about finding the inner peace within us. Take a look at these five ideal and breath-taking places in the Philippines where you can go for a day or a week of soul-searching.
