Celebrity Travel: Go Away With Shannen Doherty
Q. What have you learned from your travels?
A. To stay open to whatever happens. I never do the tourist thing and instead opt to delve into the local culture and just soak in my surroundings. South Africa moved me in every way possible. It's made me fight and care more for animals, appreciate everything God gives us and it has helped shape my aesthetic with interior design.
Q. Have your travel experiences changed your views on the world?
A. Taiji, Japan had an impact on me. I was there with the Cove Guardians of Sea Shepherd, bearing witness to the horrific drive hunts of dolphins and pilot whales. It astounds me that such a beautiful place is tainted by death and greed.
Q. What are some of your favorite weekend getaways?
A. For me, it's in my backyard. I'm fortunate enough to live by beautiful beaches and lovely people. I love Montecito. The San Ysidro Ranch is romantic. The cottages are all unique, the grounds perfect and the food stunning. Plus, I get to bring my dogs!
Q. What is your favorite hotel?
A. I don't have a favorite hotel. I go from small boutique hotels to Ritz-Carlton-type hotels. When in New York, I always feel at home at the Gansevort Hotel.
Q. What are your five favorite cities?
A. Rome, Johannesburg, Buenos Aires, Los Angeles and London.
