This weekend i attended my first ever festival in Asia and there's nothing less to say than that it was sheer and utter perfection. Never have i experienced such a high in nature. We spent the weekend at a beautiful resort by the beach, dining breakfast to sunrise, lashing around in white sand and dipping our feet in turquoise water in between dancing drunk in sun and rain to music and art. I've discovered so many amazing new talents of my motherland and encountered some beautiful new souls to add to my life. Being raised in Europe i've been spoiled by festivals left and right but never have i experienced an outdoor event of this kind. The scenery, the fresh air, the spiritual and cultural mix of music, arts and people from all over the world was beyond all expectations. Waking up to the smell of the ocean and devoting ourselves to nights of mountaintop excellence has oddly as it sounds done something to me. I have fallen in love with mother nature once again and cannot wait to continue exploring the world.
A video montage from my weekend will be up shortly.
"The Malasimbo Music & Arts Festival is truly one of the world's most enchanting of it's kind; set in the lush rolling tropical paradise of the Philippines, flanked by coconut trees and verdant hills, it's hard to imagine a place so naturally spectacular as the Puerto Galera area, where in the background climbs Mount Malasimbo itself.
The grass-terraced amphitheater, 250m above sea level, overlooks Puerto Galera Bay, a member of "The Most Beautiful Bays in the World".
The festival is seen as one of the most important in the country, helping to spearhed the country's continued advance in music, arts & culture. It blends traditional & contemporary arts & culture with a holistic approach through reforestation & marine preservation"
