Ilocos: The New Zealand of Pinas

As an obsessed nature-lover, I only have a few countries I love the most. One of them is New Zealand. While everybody is dreaming of taking a selfie in front of the Eiffel Tower, I dream of living in NZ and counting sheep (literally).

New Zealand is one of those few countries that boasts of views of the most dramatic natural beauty. It is one of those places ideal for biking where every tilt of your head gives you scenic views of lakes, geysers, waterfalls, and beyond what you can imagine. Whether biking around the red woods, discovering thermal pools in Rotorua, or channeling your inner Hobbit at the Shire, NZ is the perfect place to retire to, build a family, and take endless photographs of gorgeous landscapes that take your breath away.

The same thought goes for Ilocos. The place is a dreamland, a treasure. One of the things that makes this country one hell of a place to visit.

It’s a wonder, though, why so many people are attracted to visiting other countries while this country of ours has a great number of majestic treasures hidden in its horizons.

And it is pretty obvious that Ilocos is one of them.
