Life's not meant to be lived in one place

Malview

To visit in every beautiful place is my biggest dream since then, to enjoy the beautiful view and nature. I want to go to the place that is new to me or unfamiliar with to relax from the anxious life and to forget the reality for a while

However, due to the pandemic that we are facing, we can't be able to enjoy our social life that what we used to be. We stayed at home for how many months now, many plans got cancelled and our life stopped for a moment. We literally got bored and want to unwind, to relax both physically and mentally. After all the problem we are facing, we all deserve to relax our mind. We all know how stressful and anxious we are because of the pandemic. So, when I got the chance to travel, the first place that I visited was the Malview Cafe located at Calatrava. If you love simple but adorable place, this place is perfect. Well, the place isn't that fancy but it's relaxing, you can see how beautiful nature is, the birds that flying freely, the fresh air, the mountains and the food they serve.  It is better if you go there early in the morning to experience the sea of clouds while drinking coffee. Also, if you love taking pictures, this place is really perfect for you, you can surely capture beautiful moments in every click of your camera. Second place that I visited was the Montanea Cafe also located at Calatrava, Barangay Suba, same as Malview the place is simple, no entrance fee and the food is very affordable. Nice view and offers perpetually hot and fresh coffee. If you are coffee lover then this place will surely suit for you. What I love this place is their food specifically their siomai because everywhere I go, I spend money for food. If you're looking not fancy place and love seeing God's creation just visit these places and much better if you go there with your family or love ones and always follow safety protocols, bring alcohol and wear face mask that cover your mouth and nose because health is wealth.

Travelling is such a great learning experience. We can learn lot of things in life and we even get to experience how people around the world live their lives. I real
ized in life that, we need to go out from our comfort zone to explore the world and experience new things. If you will just stay in the comfort of your home, you will never be able to compare your experiences at home and from the outside world, your perspective in life will never be challenged. It's hard for us to fully comprehend the world if we stay in just one place. Travelling is not always mean to having fun but to trying out new things and becoming more confident as a person. Pandemic taught me that you have to enjoy every moment of your life and appreciate simple things and simple place.
