Travelling is absolutely one of the most exciting things that could ever happen in our lives, right? However, we all know that embarking on a trip entails intensive preparations—from booking the tickets and accommodations, planning the itinerary (and even the outfits!), and packing our clothes and other travel essentials.
While clothes, shoes, and hygiene kits are some of the common must-haves for many travelers, the celebrities in these exclusive video eagerly shares the unusual stuff that you may find in their baggage, as we quizzed them about their travel essentials that others might find weird.
Not a lot of people may like raisins, but it’s actually the favorite snack of Mr. Pure Energy Gary Valenciano. Along with peanuts, he shares that he has packs of them at all times wherever he goes.
His fellow OPM icon and long-time close friend Martin Nievera, meanwhile, reveals what could be one of his greatest secrets in life. According to the Concert King, he brings with him on his every trip the small baby pillow that once belonged to one of his sons, since he cannot sleep without it.
AC Bonifacio a bunch of different sprays for her face depending on the situation and her location. Besides, she also always has a stash of pimple patches in various shapes, since she considers those as part of her fashion, so she just can’t put on a random pimple patch. It has to match her outfit and the vibe, too.
Since not many people bring throat spray with them, Darren Espanto says that it can be one of the unusual stuff that can be found in his bag. It’s apparently a must-have for singers like him, especially if they’re coming to a cold country, in order for his throat to stay moist and for him to still sing well. Besides, he also has a three-meter-long charger with him always to make sure that he can still charge his phone regardless of if the sockets are near or far from his position.
And speaking of charger, “ASAP” mainstays Ogie Alcasid and Robi Domingo both share that they always bring universal adaptors to make sure that they can charge their devices everywhere they go without worrying about plug incompatibility. Zaijian Jaranilla, on the other hand, seems to be a user of automatic toothbrush, as he implies never forgetting his toothbrush charger.
Gello Marquez never forgets his rings since he feels like losing his power whenever he’s not wearing them. Kobie Brown, meanwhile, brings his USB drive wherever he goes so that it will be easy for him to transfer files whenever he runs out of storage or has to download music.
Vivoree Esclito, shares that she carries a small notebook and small pen with her in her every trip for she likes to scribble and jot down her thoughts. The same apparently goes for Kai Montinola, one of the stars of the upcoming Kapamilya teleserye “Roja”, because she always keeps her journal with her everywhere she is.
Jarren Garcia has given us a hint on how he might smell by disclosing that he actually has baby powder in his bag, which he applies to his body every time he feels sweaty or needs some refreshment.
While we usually depend on alcohol or wash our clothes to get rid of the stains, Fearless Diva Jona reveals that she always has her fabric stain remover ready.
Carmelle Collado, meanwhile, shyly confesses that there are instances when she retrieves trash in her bag, which is actually from her previous trip that she forgets to throw.
The following may not be really weird, but these Kapamilya stars seemingly find themselves uncomfortable whenever they do not have these must-haves with them during their trips.
For Rain Celmar, it’s none other than her favorite perfume. Similarly, Edward Barber also brings his perfume with him along with his breath mints every time he goes out. Pop Rock Royalty Yeng Constantino implies that she cannot survive without her skincare, which is actually the secret behind her flawless skin.
Star Magic newcomer Joaquin Arce, meanwhile, imparts that he’s a minimalist when it comes to traveling, as he only packs a few essential stuff—and among them is rubbing alcohol.
Both Asia’s Phoenix Morisette and Jeremy Glinoga gush about the significance of their earphones or earbuds for them whenever they go on trips.
For them to be able to still achieve good sleep during transit, a neck pillow is a must-have for Kolette Madelo, while it’s her eye mask for Star Magic neophyte Carmella Ford.
And in the prevalence of cards and mobile cash transfers, there’s Lyka Estrella, who makes sure that she has coins whenever she travels.
Although it’s not exactly weird, Alexa Ilacad discloses being judged by some people for bringing inhalers and liniments since she can’t sleep without smelling like she’s in a spa. For sure, Anji Salvacion, Elha Nympha, Loisa Andalio, and Maymay Entrata can all relate to her, as they also have therapeutic oils in their bags every time they go out.
Ezri of the up-and-coming pop trio Mitra Sisters also has with her a menthol balm, which helps her soothe her nausea and makes her feel refreshed. Her sister, Tasha, on the other hand, always carries her silk bonnet because she has really damaged hair, while Julia brings her own pillowcase, especially if she’s travelling abroad.
The members of rising Pinoy pop group WRIVE also shared their respective travel essentials. It’s his lip oil for Drei, their inhaler for Russu and Matthew, and his facial wash for Asi. Meanwhile, Ishiro reveals that nothing unusual can be found in his bag, but he tends to bring a lot of stuff wherever he goes just to make sure.
