EN: fond of sailing
This is the original 'wanderlust' or 'travel goals' person, but make it nautical. Before travel bloggers, there were the mapaglayag. They're the type who'd rather be on a boat, exploring new islands, than stuck in traffic on EDSA. Think of ancient Austronesian ancestors or your modern-day friend who's always posting pics from a yacht party in Batangas.
From 'mapag-' (prefix indicating inclination) + 'layag' (sail).
A somewhat poetic and archaic term, now more often used figuratively for someone who loves to travel in general, not just by sea.
