How many times have you vegged out on the couch and flipped channels, eventually landing on some travel e-zine featuring some fabulous hideaway or paradise located so close you start calculating how long the car ride would be? And even if the host was particularly ok-looking instead of hot and attractive, or the editing and pacing was a bit slow and dull and uninteresting, or even if the colors of the supposed paradise were a bit off and uninviting, you'd still sit there glued to the the tube and start imagining the beauty, tranquility and splendor of that travel destination... heck some of us even start hearing the waves and the seagulls...

Then you realize you had no idea really where that place was, or how to contact anybody who knows about the place. You now want to go to that place so much yet you have no idea how. Sure they feature the rapelling, the snorkelling or deep-sea diving, or the after hours parties at the open hut bars... but what, where and how? You have no idea...

Take all of the good things out of watching a travel e-zine on TV and all the bad things out, and you have a wonderful mix of information and multimedia right at your fingertips, a mouse click away so to speak... welcome to YEHEY! Travel!

First of all, the content is awesome! It features articles and reviews on places and travel destinations in and around the Philippines. It's nothing like the normal travel reviews you see on the papers where everything seems so monotonous and unfeeling and objective... here, the articles are rife with feeling, because they're like travel journals of the editors and contributors. Here, you get a sense of story, of narration, of actually being there... and not just like browsing through a boring catalog.

What's more, it does not limit itself to 2 or 3 photos, like what you see on the Sunday spreads... it has a whole gallery of places, people and things that you can see, hear and feel when you yourself are there. There are no limits here, not in column space or in page width, you are given almost a complete virtual tour of paradise!

It doesn't stop there, YEHEY! Travel even has a special listing of events and festivals happening in and around the Philippines! Our beautiful cultural heritage so neatly laid out on a very easy to use browser window, so you know, when you decide to go island hopping, where to go next on your trip.

But let me go back to the Snapshots section or the photo gallery section... I have to say, you don't find these images anywhere else on the net. The photos featured here are all original content, submitted by users and carefully selected by the Lifestyle editors of YEHEY.COM. And it doesn't only feature sights and places on one end of the Philippines (like all the photos you see of Boracay... you see one you seen 'em all) No, this is something completely different... the features and places you just have to see for yourself. The gallery in itself is like a miniature travel journal, a memento of the contributor's trip to some far away and distant land.

Finally, you even have a section dedicated all to environment preservation and its worthy cause. All articles, news and related features detailing local and foreign events about the environment are here... some may think YEHEY! Travel is just a hip, elitist lifestyle journal... in actuality, she's there for a cause as well, going so far as partnering with well-known environmental activists such as the World Wildlife Fund and PETA.

To top it all off, it's not the least bit inconvenient... because after all that's said and done, the most important information you want and need is there... like the how, where and how much. That's the kind of completeness you expect from a wonderfully designed site such as YEHEY! Travel.

So now, I invite you to take a trip... it's only a few clicks away. YEHEY! Travel - so, where's your next stop?

Kudos to TEAMYEHEY for a site very well done! You know who you are... beri gud!
