Celebrity Travel: Go Away With Adam Rosante
If you ask celebrity fitness instructor, Adam Rosante, what his goal is he'll say that it's to help people live healthy lives. One way of keeping your life in balance is with travel, he says. "New Orleans is pure soul," says Rosante, 36. "Next time you're there, make sure you hook up with Confederacy of Cruisers. They'll take you on an off-the-beaten-path tour of the city, all on a really comfy cruiser bike."
The author of "The 30-Second Body: Eat Clean. Train Dirty. Live Hard." (Zinc Ink, $17), Rosante splits his time between Manhattan and Amagansett (New York). For more information, check out his website at www.adamrosante.com or follow him on Twitter at https://twitter.com/AdamRosante.
Q. What is your favorite vacation destination?
A. I love Oaxaca, Mexico, to unplug. Hotel Escondido is my favorite. It's a smaller place with amazing food and impeccable service. It's low key, but perfectly attentive. It feels like you're with family, in the best possible way. Being able to surf and have a low-key beach day, then sleep in a ridiculously comfortable bed after a meal of freshly caught seafood and amazing wine is my idea of heaven.
Q. To someone who was going there for the first time, what would you recommend that they do during their visit?
A. Rent a car and drive over to Puerto Escondido for a surf lesson. Check the conditions based on your level, as the waves can get big. Then go back to the hotel to hang at your private plunge pool with an ice-cold bottle of rose and some fish tacos.
Q. What was the first trip you took as a child?
A. Dutch Wonderland in Pennsylvania. I loved it! We didn't have a lot of money when I was little, so trips were pretty few and far between. They pretty much consisted of 10-minute drives to nearby relatives' houses. I'm really close with my family, so I always loved those trips very much. When I was in maybe second grade, we went to Dutch Wonderland. It's an amusement park near Lancaster. At the time, it felt like Disney World.
Q. What's the most important thing you've learned from your travels?
A. Connect with some locals. You'll have the time of your life and experience things you wouldn't have, otherwise.
