Valuing the splendour of the natural world

Yesterday, I returned to Dalaroy Beach Resort, which is situated in Ternate Cavite, to celebrate my mother's birthday. For me, I truly appreciated feeling a connection to nature. My escape from all the toxicity of humanity is found in nature. I feel free and alive because of it. As a third-year college student, I need to unwind, get back in touch with nature, and feel refreshed so that I can focus on my studies to the best of my abilities. Why is nature so critical to me? Many poets, writers, artists, and others from the past have drawn inspiration from nature; for me, nature serves as a source of motivation to study hard and think deeply. Nature is a fundamental and essential aspect of humanity.

Despite being one of life's greatest blessings, most people are unaware of it.This view, as well as other views of nature, inspires me to relax and feel alive, and it relieves me of tension. I sincerely valued nature and was drawn to its tranquilly.

Nature is basically everything that surrounds us, including the air we breathe, the water we drink, the sun we enjoy, the birds we hear chirping, the moon we see, and much more. Above all, it has both live and non-living components and is rich and vibrant.As a result, before it's too late, individuals in the present era should start appreciating nature and learn from those who came before them. This is my chance to tell you that nature existed long before humans did, and that it has continuously supported and cared for us ever since.In other words, it offers us protection by being nature-friendly and restoring it to its full extent, which gives a wonderful experience and view or enjoyment.

Our existence is reliant on nature. Without nature, we could not survive. It's a beautiful experience that makes me remember to preserve the wonder of God's creation, which is both strong enough to eradicate humanity and made to keep us safe. For us, all forms of nature are equally important, including rivers, mountains, trees, animals, the moon, and more. The operation of human existence can be catastrophically affected by the lack of only one ingredient. As a tourism student, I want to visit all the places all over the world and explore the wonders of nature.

More people own automobiles, and our roads and motorways are of higher quality, allowing them to go further in less time. Furthermore, flights are cheaper, and the internet makes it simple to plan and book a vacation; but, the world is changing, and we must not allow it to hinder our future travel.

"Life is an adventure; I simply follow the trends."

As members of Generation Z, we choose what is heavily impacted and what the most popular trends are. One of these trends is pop culture tourism, also known as fandom tourism, which has grown in popularity in recent years, with Gen Z leading the way. Travelling to locales associated with a person's favourite films, TV shows, anime, comics, or literature is referred to as "set jetting". This sort of tourism allows fans like me to immerse ourselves deeper into the stories we love while also interacting with people who share our interests, resulting in a hybrid cultural and social travel experience. Furthermore, as students and members of Gen Z, we enjoy travelling and are frequently influenced by the lives of our favourite authors while selecting our places. Pop culture enthusiasts frequently imagine themselves travelling to the locations depicted in novels or on screen. Pop-culture tourism fosters a sense of community among followers with shared interests. Conventions, fan meetups, and cosplay gatherings provide opportunities for like-minded people to meet and bond. Furthermore, pop tourism experiences are easily shared on social media sites. And nowadays, we know social media has become a part of our lives because of the rapid hole of information and content that we can view, watch, connect with, and reach out to people with just one click. In sharing our travel articles and photos with the use of social media, we post relevant contents that share our interests. We enjoy sharing new experiences, and travel provides plenty of opportunities to do so. We also like informing our social media networks about current trends.You can also inspire others; a peer suggestion or review on social media may prompt people or Gen Z travellers to follow in their friend's footsteps and enjoy the same thrilling adventure they read about. For would-be tourists without a destination, social media is a huge source of inspiration.They rely on active participation: users participate in the site's activities and debates, as well as post, alter, and create material. This encourages innovation and facilitates discussions regarding your content. As a student, you have the tool or control to become one that will transpire your contents as a motivation for them to travel. Discuss it with them and interact with them. You can also learn from and collaborate with their thoughts and feedback, which can widen your perspective.
