Are You A Beach Bummer?

I don't know if I'd be a beach bum if I lived near a beach. When I get to go on a beach vacation I can't wait to get into the water! And I love laying on the beach but only if I have a good book to read because I get bored otherwise.

During summer, me and my friends love to go to the beach because during summer it's so hot and it's nice to get a little sunburn and a little fun on the beach..

I love to travel to tropical islands with white sandy beaches and gently waving palm trees. I am 25% a beach bummer and 75% an independent traveler. I went to St Lucia in the Caribbean when I was 19 years old. I loved spending time on the golden sandy beaches there. I enjoyed visiting Fiji when I was 20 years old. I liked going to French Polynesia, the cook Islands and Samoa when I was 29 years old. I love to snorkel around coral reefs and do some island hopping. I had a fantastic time in the Seychelles and the Maldives doing that. I would love to visit the Philippines sometime in the future. I would go to see the Chocolate Hills on Bohol Island. I would be able to do lots of island hopping. It would be a fantastic adventure.

I wouldn't exactly call myself a beach bummer, in fact, I dislike seawater and sand. But I was just in Boracay this weekend, and what can I say, I already want to go back. We went parasailing and reef walking, and also island hopping, though i didn't enjoy the last one too much as I got queasy what with all the big waves. Strangely though, the part I enjoyed the most was when we were walking around the strip of beachfront at night with all the shops and restaurants abuzz. My legs hurt a lot because of the loose sand, and it was really tiring, but I had so much fun! We missed riding on a glass-bottom boat, but I don't mind, since Boracay isn't so far so there will always be a next time!
