Celebrity Travel: Go Away With Megalyn Echikunwoke

By Jae-Ha Kim, Tribune Media Services on

A. In New York City, I love La Esquina (http://esquinanyc.com/); it's my fave Mexican food place. Also, the Lobster Trap, outside Montego Bay in Jamaica and Via Venneto (http://www.viaveneto.us/) in Santa Monica for Italian.

Q. What is your guilty pleasure when you're on the road?

A. Tequila.

Q. What kind of research do you do before you go away on a trip?

A. Besides finding a great place to stay, it's important for me to find at least one cultural destination to visit, other than that, I don't like to plan too much. I like to suss out the situation when I get on the ground and then go!

 

Q. What is your worst vacation memory?

A. Once I accidentally left my passport in Nice, France, when I was on my way to Prague. Upon arriving in Vienna, after taking an overnight, and being asked to present my travel documents and realizing I forgot them at the hotel, they kicked me off the train and sent me back!
