Sofia Goggia, bikini and adventure: photos from the trip to the Philippines

Putting aside the biting cold of its mountains and the relentlessly ticking clock, however Sofia Goggia spring smells of saltiness and relaxation. The champion from Bergamo granted herself one escape to the Philippinesbetween pristine lagoons and rocks suspended over the sea, to embrace a daily life made up of simple but significant things. No five-star resorts or glossy photos: just a bikini and backpacking trip which catapulted her into an authentic adventure, where true luxury is given by total freedom.

The experience in the Philippines represents an opportunity for the ski champion to shed her public persona, break down every barrier and return to simply being herself. “Super characteristic crystalline green sea, rice and fish at every meal, incredible places”, wrote Sofia Goggia on social media. “Going on a trip […] knowing that you will share it with people you don’t knowpeople who leave with ‘la Goggia’ but then return having met Sofia. It’s the beauty of getting away from the same things a little by doing different ones, but always in simplicity.”

Sofia Goggia’s days flow full, but without a rigid script: boat trips between islands and hidden bays, shared tables, snorkeling in turquoise waters, trekking between paths overlooking the sea and improvised stops where time seems to expand. And then diving, chatting at sunset, excursions and one impromptu basketball game with local children. The perfect experience to recharge your batteries before returning to your commitments as an athlete.
