Celebrity Travel: Go Away With Cam Gigandet
Cam Gigandet ("The Magnificent Seven," "The Twilight Saga" franchise) stars alongside Donald Sutherland and Jeremy Sisto in AT&T Audience Network's latest series, "Ice." In the serialized crime drama, Gigandet's character is thrown into the world of corrupt diamond trading, murder and dubious cartels. For the series, Gigandet, 34, moved his family from their Venice, California, home to Vancouver, B.C., where "Ice" is filmed. "Right now, Vancouver is our only home. It's where our heart is, so to speak." One of the few actors wary of social media, Gigandet says, "I've never been able to fully commit to social media. (It's) hard to find the time with three kids and a job." He occasionally stays in touch with fans via his Twitter feed.
Q. What is your favorite vacation destination?
A. Well, definitely not my couch, or even my house. I love exploring. Drop me in a city I've never been to and I will walk till I drop. So far, Tokyo tops my list.
Q. To someone who was going there for the first time, what would you recommend that they do during their visit?
A. Daikanyama (in Shibuya, Tokyo). Just pick a street and start walking. The questions I always try to answer whenever I am at a new place is, "What would it feel like to live here? How would it feel to experience touristy spots as a local?" So, if I am bored, I have only myself to blame.
Q. What untapped destination should people know about?
A. Yokohama (in Japan). (Go to the) Mooneyes motorcycle show.
Q. What was the first trip you took as a child? And did you love it ... or not so much?
A. The first trip I remember was a road trip from Seattle to Maine. I think I enjoyed it and I commend my parents for having the courage to drive two kids across the country in a minivan. I still vividly remember walking up the path and Mt. Rushmore coming into view. That was over 20 years ago...
Q. What are your five favorite cities?
