Celebrity Travel: Go Away With Dominik Garcia-Lorido
"I grew up in the Valley and had the opportunity to travel a lot with my family," says actress Dominik Garcia-Lorido, 31. "I really enjoy it, whether it's with my family or for work. I'm not high maintenance when it comes to travel." The daughter of actor Andy Garcia, Dominik Garcia-Lorido remembers visiting her father at work. This included a half-year stay in Italy, which she remembers fondly. Her latest film role is in Jason Statham's action-packed "Wild Card."
Q. What is your favorite vacation destination?
A. I loved Sardinia. It was so beautiful. I loved traveling around Italy. We do family trips there every few years. We went to Tuscany a few years back. We spent some time in Rome. That's where we lived for six months when I was a kid.
Q. What was it like living overseas as a child?
A. It was fun. I loved it! I was 6 years old and we went with my father to Italy while he worked on "The Godfather: Part III." I still remember the school I went to and what the hallway looked like, what our house was like and all that. I went to an American school, so I didn't learn to speak Italian, which is a shame. But, Italy is still my favorite place to go. That and the Bahamas.
Q. Where have you traveled to in the Bahamas?
A. We like Bimini and Harbour Island.
Q. When you're on vacation, do you prefer to lie out or stay active?
A. We're a fishing family! We have a home in Key Biscayne, Florida, where it's really beautiful. We enjoy catching our fish and then eating fresh fish that evening -- mahi mahi, dog snapper -- those kinds of things. We enjoy seafood, so it's best to catch your own and fry it up, put a lot of lemon on it and dip it in tartar sauce or serve it sashimi style. I actually prefer not to eat fish at most restaurants.
Q. Do you remember when you started fishing?
