Traveling solo will always give you that sense of fulfillment that you were able to conquer a place on your own. Traveling in a group on the other hand always gives you that kind of experience you would want to recall over and over again. I guess that is because you were able to share what was happening at the moment to somebody else and it makes the bond between your family or friends even stronger.

I actually love doing both, but most of the time (especially if I’m on a budget) I would choose to travel with friends rather than doing it alone. There are still a lot of places to cross on my list but for those looking to fill their itinerary with interesting destinations, here are some up-and-coming tourist spots to consider.

They say your visit in Ilocos Norte wouldn’t be complete without seeing the iconic Bangui Wind Farm. And I do agree! It was the last day of our travel when we finally said to ourselves; “We need to pay an extra P500 (for the tricycle services) just to do the Southbound Tour”, that includes Burgos and Bangui via Pagudpud. And it wasn’t a bad decision at all. After all, travelling to Pagudpud for 13 hours via bus is already a sacrifice we made and it would be a lost to miss the most exciting part.
