TRAVEL BAE: DESTINATION INSPIRATION FOR ALL TYPES OF BABE

I don’t know about you but I don’t need any convincing to go on holidays. If you for some reason do... PSA: Taking holidays are essential to health.

Researchers have attributed a load of benefits to taking holidays:

1. No Biggie or anything but they can REDUCE YOUR RISK OF DYING from any cause other than old age and minimises the risk of heart disease.
2. Reduced stress which over time can lead to obesity, depression and anxiety. Naht cool.
3. Be one with your strawberry daiquiri with extra umbrellas. Holidays are proven to increase life satisfaction as it provides an opportunity to reflect on your life, try new things and being conscious whilst living your best damn life. Get out of that bubble girl.
4. Nasty rumour: Hard workers don’t take holidays. So wrong. Holidays actually help to improve your productivity and increase life balance.

Great, we’re all on board (*travel pun) for a holiday now. Now what KINDA holiday do you want to go on? Well, what KINDA bae are you?

1. Adventure Bae: Road trip in Hawkes Bay, NZ

Located in the North Island of UHN-ZID (NZ) this place is a lil slice of natural heaven. Hikes, Rafting, cycling,  Swims under waterfalls, fishing, diving, surfing…need we say more.

Argentina is the home of the actual “Salt Bae”. How could we not pay him homage in this travel guide. Argentina is famous for the quality of it's beef and also for its wine, in particular Malbec.

You thought I was going to say Mykonos didn't you. Guess again! Beirut is fast becoming a hot spot for party seekers around the world. It’s a cosmopolitan dream of amazing food, shopping and the best nightlife you’ve ever seen. Head to Mar Mikhael district to start the night at a cool gin and oyster bar MotherShucker and then head underground to party at Bo10, a former bomb bunker located in the middle of a circular parking lot. FYI: They don’t have lockouts.

4. Namaste Bae: Ibiza Yoga Retreat @ Yogarosa
Ibiza is quickly becoming known for its wellness retreats, not just it’s party scene! Partake in sound healing, meditation, yoga and for the wellness hardballers do some Ayurvedic-Hawaiian colon cleansing and bio resonance. Oooh.
