ROAM #2: THE ROAD TRIP ISSUE

 In this installment, we drive you out and beyond the bustling metropolis, to the vast expanse of the country’s highways! 

We take you on a road trip with a twist! Fuel your passion for the arts in Rizal, crave for good food in Laguna and Quezon, appreciate local works of literature in Baguio, discover the quirky and the quaint in Mega Manila, get an adrenaline rush from outdoor sports in Camarines Norte and Camarines Sur, or go ‘round the Northern Luzon loop and see La Union, Ilocos Sur, Ilocos Norte, and Cagayan in a whole new light! 

And we don’t stop there. ROAM paves the way to Cavite, Batanes, Zambales, Ifugao, and Mountain Province in our exclusive feature sections. Globetrotters on the go need not to worry as we also conquer the roads of Germany, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. Plus! Ride the freewheel and with other trippers—a Pinoy power cyclist, local auto groups, social mobile communities, and more! 

Pack your bags and buckle up for your ultimate adventure on the road as ROAM rolls out essential travel and health tips, and the recommended flicks, flips, and good finds! 


ROAM #1: MANILA, OH MANILA! 

A rip-roaring shout out to all kinds of travelers: the cheapskates, zillionaires, backpackers, adventure seekers, campers, lost, or whatever you feel like calling yourselves! ROAM magazine has finally landed our urban jungle! This magazine is definitely for you!

October Eighty Publications proudly presents ROAM—the first and only alternative traveling magazine in the Philippines. Hop on the crazy world of fun, spontaneous, and adventurous traveling!  Discover the hidden, learn the alternative, and live the ambiguity.

In this premiere issue, we give you the wild slab of glorious Manila we’ve all loved to hate, and hated to love. We revive the vintage and feel the vibe of hippie Manila. We veer away from what’s pop and grand; we drift, reroute, and experience Manila the ROAM way!

Revel our special features on the chronicled Intramuros, oddballs of Cubao X, rave of Manila nightlife, rekindled balut industry in Pateros, and the legends of the Luneta photographers.

We’ve got a bevy of features on urban adventures, culture, food trips, dream destinations, city tours, first aid, traveling in style, and a lot more!

Come on, come on! Quit on slacking and start ROAMing!
