Roads less traveled in Vault May 2014

Vault, the luxury lifestyle magazine of ABS-CBN Publishing, takes the roads less traveled to places few luxury travelers dare venture to give its annual travel issue a spin.


Explore some favorite cities in Europe to see how ancient neighborhoods continue to evolve amidst the polarizing effects of immigration and gentrification. Take a walk on the side streets of the Marais in Paris as Vault takes readers to the where homegrown fashion brands are incubated. Fly to Geneva where renewed global interest in Switzerland’s mechanical watch industry is attracting a new breed of travelers to this fascinating international city. Also in the itinerary is Spain where the best cuisine is found and the where Vault traces some traditional dishes to their origins as peasant food in farms on the Catalan coast.

Meanwhile, Vault takes readers through the back roads of Southeast Asia and to war-torn Jolo in the Southern Philippines where the homogenizing effects of the global tourism industry have yet to spoil these remote locations and the wanderlust that inspires the spirit of travel.

Finally, get a taste of Mexico as this May’s issue goes on a quest for authentic Mexican tequila.

The issue also highlights products for traveling lifestyle, with a broad array of tools, instruments, and vehicles that ought to take you to ends of the earth in safety, comfort, and style.

Published once every two months by ABS-CBN Publishing, Vault has sections dedicated to automobiles, aviation, new establishments, equipment, travel, timepieces, art, style, grooming, property, and fine dining.
