Beach Baby
For you, it’s all about
living in your bikini/board
shorts/sarong all day — how
else will you appreciate the
sand between your toes? So
get yourself to a beach, where
there’s blue water to surf on or
wade in, palm trees to strap
a hammock to, and a fi reball
sunset to toast a drink to.
Your best bets Boracay, Bohol
or Siargao
Don’t leave without Suntan oil
or sunblock, a camera, and
Jack Johnson on your MP3.

Hot Child in
the City
Your perfect vacation
would be a heady cocktail of
shopping sprees, dinners at
swanky restaurants, all-night
drinks and dancing at worldclass
clubs with international
DJs, watching Broadway plays,
and hitting the casino in a city
that refuses to sleep.
Your best bets Hong Kong,
Macau or Shanghai
Don’t leave without Luggage
space to fi t all your shopping,
and dressy clothes for night.

3 Ain, t No
Mountain
High Enough
If you’re the type who thrives
on the natural high of reaching
greater heights, indulge your
inner highlander and conquer
mountains around the country
and across the region. Not only
will the holiday make you fi tter,
it’ll be good for your soul, too.
Your best bets Mt. Apo in Davao
or Mt. Kinabalu
Don’t leave without Hiking
shoes, an all-weather jacket,
and a camera.
4 Rough
Quick, don’t
overthink it
and Ready
Relaxing by a pool isn’t
your cup of tea…unless said
pool leads to an underground
cavern that leads to a secret
waterfall, that eventually takes
you to an ancient temple that
promises adventures untold.
Tomb raiders, unite!
Your best bet Siem Reap
Don’t leave without Gatorade
or any type of energy gel,
headlights, an adventurer’s hat,
and sunglasses that can decode
ancient treasure maps.
