Karen Reyes talks about traveling and taking risks
When Karen Reyes auditioned for Pinoy Big Brother six
years ago, no one thought she would be sharing the spotlight with other
well-known local celebrities. A proven risk-taker at such a young age, she
admitted that her mom has no knowledge she would be joining the reality show.
Her attitude, having no fear to try out new things, made her reach the title
Second Big Placer of Pinoy Big Brother and from there, the bright future ahead
her continuously placed her to where she is today.
Growing up from Oriental Mindoro, it is evident how
low-key and approachable Karen is by the way she carries herself. Karen is full
of happy thoughts; you hear nothing but all out fun from her. She’s a bursting
bubble every time she answers questions. May it be about work, love, or life in
general, an exchange of conversation with her is like a best friend chit-chat.
She is very open, honest, and playful.
When going places, she opts to do it just by herself but
would love it even more when she gets to spend time traveling with her
boyfriend. An adventurer at heart, she enjoys going to the beach and try all
the water activities possible. An aficionado of unplanned road trips, it
only justifies where her spontaneity is coming from.
Karen normally goes to different local places at least
once a month. Just to mention her recent travels, she went to Mt. Pinatubo
with the TravelBook.ph team and was able to enjoy the
bumpy 4 X 4 ride and strenuous hike. Amidst all the dirt, humid,
and 2-hour long trek, Karen remained cheerful and lively. “Mas adventurer ako, kesa traveler,”
she said.
As for Karen’s dream travel destinations, she looks
forward to visiting Batanes, Albay, and Palawan. Unlike other travelers who
would excessively pack during trips, her essentials only include clothes, a
wallet, her mobile phone, a lip tint, and speakers. “Hindi ako madala ng
gamit. Since most of my trips are unplanned, hindi ako aligaga palagi
na kailangan ng ganito or ng ganyan. Kung ano lang talaga ‘yung
pinakakailangan” she explained.
One thing to love about Karen is her willingness to take
risks. She may be afraid at some point, but her go-getter personality sets her
apart from the rest. She’s not afraid to venture new possibilities, to explore
what the world has to offer, to seek the unknown, to wander around and get
lost. Karen lives with no regrets as she fully knows what she wants and always
goes for it.
