After our overtime shift, my two officemates and I spontaneously headed to Baguio City for a quick escape. The cool breeze, scenic views, and refreshing vibe made the sudden getaway worth it. Here are three reasons why this spontaneous trip was the perfect way to unwind.
1. Coffee
Who doesn’t love coffee? Our trip to Baguio City was literally an overnight adventure—no accommodations, no transient house, just pure spontaneity. We spent the entire night wandering the streets of Baguio, hopping from one coffee shop to another. With every cup, we warmed our hands against the cool mountain breeze, savoring the peaceful yet vibrant nightlife. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee, the cozy café ambiance, and the carefree spirit of the night made it a memorable escape, proving that sometimes, all you need is good company, caffeine, and a bit of wanderlust.
2. Strawberry Taho
Early in the morning, we visited Burnham Park, enjoying a light jog around the area. Afterward, we treated ourselves to some delicious strawberry taho, savoring the sweet, creamy snack while taking in the cool, fresh air of Baguio. A perfect start to the day!
3. Breathe
The most important part of this trip was simply to breathe. After working almost every day, the stress from our demanding jobs can be overwhelming. A quick getaway to Baguio, surrounded by nature and the cool weather, provided the perfect opportunity to hit pause. It gave us time to step back, relax, and recharge. In a busy world where rest is often neglected, this trip reminded us of the importance of taking a breath—both literally and figuratively. Sometimes, all we need is a moment of stillness to refresh our minds and bodies before diving back into the grind.
