They may be teenagers, yet the young stars of “Lavender Fields” have already found their favorite places to seek respite.

Not many of us probably know, but Krystal Mejes was born and raised in Samar. Thus, it’s no surprise that she always loves to spend her vacations whenever she is not busy with work. Marc Santiago and Jana Agoncillo both prefer to unwind in beaches, such as La Union and Batangas, while Miguel Vergara has already visited Japan several times already with his parents.  

Speaking of Japan, it’s obviously the top choice among local celebrities out of all the places in the world, as many of them conveyed how much they admire the country. Among them are Jason Dy and Emilio Daez, who both like Tokyo for the authentic Japanese food and “immaculate vibes.” It’s also where Shanaia Gomez will spend her well-deserved break after three months of rehearsing and performing for the musical stage play “Once On This Island.”

Those who have been following Alexa Ilacad on Instagram certainly knows that her top favorite destination is Japan, the same with her “Pinoy Big Brother Gen 11” co-host Robi Domingo who considers it a favorite international vacation spot and Baguio City or Tagaytay City for local. It’s also one of Karel Marquez’s top picks along with Italy, which she likes because of the food.

Darren Espanto is another fan of the “Land of the Rising Sun,” as well as of Bali, Indonesia, which his fellow “ASAP” mainstay Edward Barber likes to visit again, too, with his friends. He finds it’s a great place to go on a food trip and unwind because of how peaceful it is there. Although going abroad is good, but she’s actually already fine with out-of-town escapades since he believes that the best part of every trip is the drive en route to the destination.

With her partner, Daniel Miranda, being the grandson of His Excellency Philippe Jones Lhuillier, the Philippine ambassador to Spain, Sofia Andres and their daughter, Zoe, had the chance to visit there in 2022. She considers it as her top favorite destination.

Andrea Brillantes also chooses Spain as her favorite place since she truly enjoyed her first-ever solo travel there in 2023. Despite being a foreigner, she felt that she really belonged there, which she assumed is probably due to her Spanish blood.

Her “High Street” co-star Gela Atayde declared that it would be Orlando, Florida for because this is where her favorite place on Earth – Disneyworld – is located. Meanwhile, Miggy Jimenez opted for Switzerland and Santorini, Greece since he’s inclined to sightseeing and marveling at God’s work.

Xyriel Manabat, on the other hand, dreams of visiting New Zealand because of the breathtaking and surreal sceneries it offers. But the nature lover in her also appreciates Tanay and Tagaytay City, or just any place with touch of nature.

Being the proud probinsyana that she is, Maymay Entrata has no specific place in mind, yet he is already content with anywhere surrounded by nature.

And lastly, Sydney, Australia would always have a special place in the heart of radio DJ and event host Jai Ho, since he has already gone there for seven times already. His trips there included an ASAP show and the wedding of his friend and business partner. Aside from the unforgettable memories he made there, he also likes how people there look always fresh, fashionable, and chill.
