Millennial Trailblazers – Santiago, Chile
A millennial trailblazer is highly recognisable especially with social media becoming a tool for travel promotion. Millennial trailblazers have plenty of awe-inspiring travel photos on their social media accounts and are often spotted in destinations that are off the beaten path.
Those looking for unchartered territories with stunning backdrops to boast on social media can visit Santiago, Chile. It is British Airways’ newest and longest flight route from London Heathrow. The remote location is surrounded by the stunning snow-capped Andes Mountains but at the same time is abuzz with bars and cafes that will keep a tech-savvy traveller busy with their fingertips. It is also recommended to take a two-hour flight north to Atacama Desert, the world’s driest desert, to experience world-class stargazing.
