Thanks to budget airlines, the world has truly become
everyone’s oyster. Today’s globetrotters are no longer an exclusive club of the
privileged—with record-low airfares, rewarding one’s self with the perfect
holiday has never been easier. Everyone’s dream destination is now within
reach, with more choices available even to the budget-conscious. Here are some
of the most exciting destinations to check off your list before you hit the big
4-0.
1. Batanes
The Philippines’ northernmost province is its own little
version of New Zealand. Batanes’ windswept hills and dramatic cliffs have
captured the imagination of many, and its relative seclusion (on some days of
the week, there’s only one flight to its capital Basco) has added to its charm.
Some also come to seek the Ivatan people’s unique yet simple way of living,
making it a perfect place to unwind.
