Celebrity Travel: Go Away With Kevin Michael Connolly
A. Off the top of my head, Vienna, Austria; Wanaka, New Zealand; Liverpool, England; New York City; Kiev, Ukraine.
Q. Where have you traveled to that most reminded you of home?
A. Bosnia, actually, looked a lot like western Montana -- steep, densely wooded mountains with a very seasonal climate. They have castles, though, which I guess gives them the edge.
Q. Where would you like to go that you have never been to before?
A. I really want to go visit Russia. It's just so big that I would need a project, job, or a couple months of savings to properly explore it. I just need to remember to go in the summer. My skateboard is no good in the snow.
Q. When you go away, what are some of your must-have items?
A. Skateboard bearings and gloves are a must. After that, a camera, journal and a book. I've found less is more when you're setting off on a trip. I usually pick up cheap clothes and creature comforts as I travel, as it keeps the luggage low and makes for souvenirs later. Remember, hauling luggage as a legless guy really s--ks.
Q. What would be your dream trip?
A. Probably Rome -- just so I'd have a chance to skate the Vatican.
Q. What is your worst vacation memory?
A. Getting hit by a car in Travnik, Bosnia, springs to mind. Though that would be a bad memory regardless of where I was.
