Vicky Al-Taie is a 30-something momma-to-be and a chronicler of life as experienced in measures of beauty, pain, victories, failures and passions. A former wannabe and an ex-teenage escape artist, I consider myself a force of nature with a chronic case of the ‘elsewheres’. I love rarely but when I do – like now – I do it enormously, boundlessly, and in overflowing measures. Not too far removed from the way I take my pleasures and offer them back to the world. I am essentially about giving it all I’ve got, living life supersized, leaving room for the unexpected and the rest, as they say, is fate’s free-for-all.:)

2016 is shaping up to be very travel-friendly for Pinoys with some 19 public holidays and several long weekends. How and where you can spend those long weekends is entirely up to you but if you have more leaves to combine with these long weekends and resources to burn, consider these destinations way beyond the usual ASEAN borders and up your ante in the world travel department.
