Naglabas ng aklat ang STAR travel writer tungkol sa 60 dream holidays

Sa Makati, naglunsad ng kanyang aklat na '60 Dream Holidays Around the World' si Christine Dayrit, resident travel writer ng The Philippine STAR sa loob ng 25 taon. Ang 464-pahina nitong aklat ay naglalaman ng 60 kwento mula sa kanyang mga kolum sa pahayagan. Ibinahagi niya ang kanyang pag-ibig sa paglalakbay at plano niyang bisitahin ang Antarctica sa Pebrero.

Si Christine Dayrit, na nagsusulat ng higit 1,000 artikulo sa paglalakbay mula 2000, ay naglunsad ng kanyang aklat sa Chef Jessie’s restaurant sa Makati. 'My love for travel began long before I knew it was a calling,' aniya sa kanyang panimula. Para sa 25 taon, naglayag siya sa anim na kontinente, na humubog sa kanyang puso at gawa. 'For 25 years, I’ve chased the world across six continents. Six continents that have shaped my heart, my craft and my courage – each one a chapter, each one a lesson. The only land I have yet to set foot on is Antarctica... this coming February, I will finally go – and complete the circle of all seven continents,' dagdag niya sa isang puno ng tao na audience.

Nagpasalamat siya kay STAR president at CEO Miguel Belmonte at sa kanyang asawang si Milette, na kaibigang mula pa pagkabata, pati na rin kay editor Millet Mananquil. 'It’s the most impressive coffee table book I’ve ever seen... Christine, no doubt, will be the envy of all the travel writers in the country,' sabi ni Belmonte. Sa foreword, sinabi ni Mananquil, 'Christine is the girl who gathered wonder… After reading this book, you will discover the true essence of her persona: she is a citizen of the world… footloose, thanks to her parents who urged their children to run after a platypus in Melbourne, listen to Maori legends in New Zealand and chase sunsets in Serengeti.'

Ang pamilya ni Christine ang may-ari ng Miladay, isang 59 taong gulang na tindahan ng alahas na itinatag ng kanyang yumao nang mga magulang na si Vicente at Milagros Dayrit. Siya ang director para sa marketing. 'My mother, Milagros, adored jewelry; my father adored the world. When we were kids... I, however, would stand before the maps on the wall – studying where each gem came from, imagining the mountains, the miners, the long journeys behind those tiny sparks of light,' aniya, na naging gabay sa kanyang pagtuklas sa mundo, kabilang ang mga destinasyon sa kanyang aklat.
