Q. What is your best vacation memory?
A. My wife and I visited Tanzania to see our daughter, who was working there for a nonprofit. When we experienced the people, the mud huts, the safaris, it was just beyond magical and we'll never forget it, ever. It was an incredible, life-changing travel experience.
Q. If you've ever gone away for the holidays, which was the best trip?
A. Being Canadian, I have a big family with lots of crazy, beautiful relatives. (For three straight years, starting) when I was 14 years old, we would all meet at this Christmas lodge in Alberta where there were more fireplaces than logs. We played amazing games of Risk, had shenanigans on the frozen pond, jumped into a snowbank from an uber-hot sauna and had cinnamon bun eating contests. I mean, it was incredible! It was so much fun that it was like being in Vegas with no clocks on the wall and we just kept going and going.
Q. What is your favorite vacation destination?
A. My cabin. It's located on a lakefront in one of the most beautiful parts of Canada. You've got to bring bathing suits; you've got to bring hiking gear; you've got to bring a good attitude and you've got to be ready to chillax.
Q. What untapped destination should people know about?
A. You have to travel! Period. Life is just all about the destination, people and food on this beautiful planet. You just have to go. You've got to travel. It's the greatest thing you can do in your life.
Q. What was the first trip you took as a child? And did you love it ... or not so much?
