Celebrity Travel: Go Away With Bruce Jenner

By Jae-Ha Kim, Tribune Media Services on

A. No, because I'm not a very controversial character on the show. The reaction from 99.9 percent of the people I meet is very nice. I come from a very positive place, thanks to the Olympic Games. I am proud of the show, because we do a good job.

Q. Where have you traveled to for the show that was awesome?

A. Bora Bora was very nice. We stayed in a hut on the water. This year we went to the Dominican Republic. But even before the show, we liked to travel as a family and take vacations together. I will say that it can be tough traveling with all the kids because there are so many pieces of luggage to take. And my wife has a suitcase per day. Why she needs a suitcase for each day is beyond me. It takes massive amounts of people to move everybody.

Q. Would Kris say the same about you?

A. No. I travel very light. When I travel for my speeches, I bring just one carry-on. Before we got married, Kris used to travel very light. But then we got married and she doubled the baggage.

Q. What are some of your favorite cities?

A. I love cities like Paris and Rome, where there's so much history and old architecture. I find all that fascinating.

 

Q. Where was the first place that you and Kris visited overseas?

A. Ireland. We went and played the golf courses there and stayed in the old castles.

Q. What are your memories of traveling with your children when they were younger?

A. Kris and I have 10 children total now. But when we met 21 years ago, she had four kids and I had four kids and she decided that we should go on a ski trip. So that's 10 people total. That meant 20 skis, 20 poles, 40 gloves and a minimum of 20 ski outfits -- and that's just for Kris! The prep started weeks in advance. The living room was filled with ski suits all piled around with the kids' names on them. We had two SUVs come to the house just to pick up the bags to go to Deer Valley. But the kids are all veteran travelers now and know all the ropes. They're good at what they do.
