What’s in Jericho Rosales’s adventure kit
TOP actor Jericho Rosales looked every bit the part of adventure seeker Diego in his 2017 Metro Manila Film Festival Movie “Siargao” because he is one in real life.
At 38 years old, the hunky leading man is still hungry to see exciting places and try thrilling experiences.
Out and about on his motorcycle, roughing it in geographical locations when not working, Rosales is always dressed as a true wanderer in his staple denim jacket, Kevlar pants and riding boots. Surfing— as he did in Siargao—is also another favorite pastime for the outdoorsy celebrity whose wife, model Kim Jones, enjoys joining him in the water.
Asked how he chooses his adventures and destinations, Rosales proudly says he doesn’t go by Instagram-worthy sites. What draws him to a place is his interest in understanding communities.
“I really like going to new places no matter where it is to meet new people. It’s not about the distance either but mostly about the connection I can make with the place. I don’t plan for a trip for too long... Bastapwedeako, go na kaagad!” he laughed as TheManilaTimes sat down with him for his latest event as ambassador of denim brand Wrangler.
On-the-go
Rosales added that besides his usual gear, he brings with him neither a camera nor a cell phone on his travels, but a kikay kit!
“Of course I have one,” he laughed again. In my kikay kit, I have pomade, toothbrush, den balm, cologne, deodorant, sunblock and wet wipes.”
Apparently, friends who join him in his adventures have a habit of asking him for things they need.
“It’s funny they always forget to bring everything so they’ll just say, ‘Yansi Echo, kumpleto yanmay kikay kit yan eh.’
