Cool places to escape to within 300 km from Manila

THERE's genuine pleasure in driving long distances, taking you away from the stress of your daily commute to work or running errands. Driving out of the city to distant places provides freedom and brings excitement from discovering new things, meeting new people, and gaining new experiences. With city temperatures rising to dangerous levels, taking a drive out of town also offers a refreshing escape. Going on a drive can also benefit mental health by providing a healthy distraction from daily stressors, requiring you to focus on the road, giving you more time to think and relax. It also offers a chance to bond with your special someone, family and friends.

But driving isn't just about the journey; it's also about the destination. You invest a significant amount of time getting there, and the destination must contribute to mental decompression, allowing you to unwind and refocus. The destination should leave you feeling recharged when you return to city life.
