The long break gave many of us ample time to relax in various travel destinations in and outside of the country. The best part about traveling isn’t just eating local delicacies or picking up souvenirs. Oftentimes, the memories of picturesque sights and experiencing big and small moments are what matter. Cheesy, I know, but it’s true.

While most of you are still on vacation mode while catching up on work, we checked out where our local celebs and influencers spent their breaks. We found the usual spots like Japan and Korea, as well as other destinations we’d like to put on our travel bucket list.

Maine Mendoza went back to New York City and couldn’t get enough of Times Square’s busy street. She and her companions even had fun with American Eagle Outiftters’ 15 Seconds of Fame photo booth. Spot her making a goofy face on the LED billboard.

Tricia Centenera

When you’re at a scenic location like the Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul, we’d totally understand if you take a quick OOTD shot. Just check out how chic Tricia Centenera looked in her all-black ensemble.

Who wouldn’t want to train to be a badass ninja? Solenn Heussaff and Nico Bolzico trained for one day in Japan, and they look like they’re ready to take on anyone who comes their way.

Liza Soberano, along with Enrique Gil, Kim Chiu, Xian Lim, and Sam Milby, went to see a Golden State Warriors game in California. Hope they didn’t lose their voices while cheering.

A beauty queen’s duty doesn’t end. During the break, Miss International Kylie Verzosa visited a school in Brunei and bonded with the kids there. After that, she got to relax at the nearby beach.

Maureen Disini

Designer Maureen Disini bought a loot of Peru’s coca candies after taking this vendor’s photo. For those who don’t know, coca candy is made from the same plant as cocaine. However, it’s said to work more like caffeine and it can help when you’re going to high altitudes. If you want to see more from her trip, you can check Inquirer RED Magazine’s Instagram Story.

Saab Magalona found a quirky book shop in Australia, which encourages patrons to have a “blind date with a book.” We wonder what she picked out from the mysterious selection.

Dr. Vicki Belo

The whole Belo family is enjoying Boston’s cool weather during the break until now. As you can see in the video, Scarlet Snow is having fun while dancing to the busker’s music. So adorable!
