We’re pretty much sure that not only Leos are happy this August. With two consecutive long weekends, we have all the time in the world to catch up on our favorite series, sleep all day, and go online 24/7. But hey, why stay at home and sulk when you can go exploring out there?
Make the most out of the extended weekends by basking in the sun (hopefully) and getting that much-needed vacay. No worries and no vacation leaves required, we did our homework – thus, here are five places that you must visit soon.

4. Vessel Hostel
If “laidback” is a place then it would totally be La Union. With its chill vibe and effortlessly cool community, the province is becoming one of the most-sought destinations up North. And so, what better way to spend the whole weekend than to surf and wear swimwear all day long?
In case you’re planning to visit LU soon, one of the newest place in town is Vessel Hostel. It is a four-level hostel composed of repurposed shipping containers stacked on top of each other to create a hub for people who would like to explore and escape. Not to mention, it has a Volkswagen Kombi which is converted into a sleeping area for two.
