It’s not Bora Bora, but trust me, this tropical gem in the Philippines holds its own, writes Mauriz Coronel. I’m from the Philippines and it might be such a cliche Filipino thing, but I’ve had Boracay listed in my “30 trips before 30′′ travel bucket list since I was in college. Boracay is a tourist island in Western Visayas, Philippines, known for its diverse resorts and beautiful white sand beaches.
While Boracay boasts plenty of luxury accommodations, fine dining, and high-end experiences, it also caters to budget travellers, making it one of the most-visited destinations for locals and foreigners alike. I’d been to Boracay before with my family, but nothing compares to enjoying a week-long stay with your own adult money. Because really, when will I be this young, financially reckless and full of energy again?.
