Traveling the world can be an exhilarating experience but because it entails a lot of money, many of us couldn’t travel farther than the farthest edges of our own province or country.

But did you know that even if you are from the Philippines, you can find a number of look-alikes to some of the world’s most famous tourist destinations? So, if you are strapped on cash but still wish to check out some world-famous tourist spots, why not try the local versions first?
