Celebrity Travel: Go away with Alanna Ubach
A: Luang Prabang is a city in Laos that has to be one of the most beautiful places I've ever laid eyes on. Buddhist temples from the 16th century will leave you awestruck.
Q: What's the most important thing you've learned from your travels?
A: I've learned that family, laughter, love, good food and great conversations are five universal needs.
Q: If you could only pick one place to eat, would you prefer a food truck or fine dining?
A: That depends on what I'm in the mood for. A food truck is great when I'm alone and can enjoy my meal as I'm walking or sitting on a park bench. In a restaurant, I don't have to compete with the city noise when I'm having a conversation. I also get a kick out of eavesdropping and seeing what the people sitting at the table next to me have ordered. And oh, do I love a charismatic server.
Q: If you've ever gone away for the holidays, which was the best trip?
A: The best trip I ever took for the holidays was a trip to San Miguel de Allende in Mexico. It's a beautiful colonial town filled with smart art galleries, antique stores, old cathedrals and expats.
Q: Do you speak any foreign languages?
A: I went to a French high school and didn't realize how well I knew my French until I was traveling in Europe. I had an hour-long conversation with this very chatty Parisian cab driver. I couldn't believe it! I’ve unfortunately lost all of my French. I never really had another opportunity to exercise that muscle. Nowadays, I use the Pimsleur app to brush up on my Spanish. It's the perfect lesson if you easily retain information via audio.
