Celebrity Travel: Go Away With Chelsey Crisp
A. The first time I traveled on my own without my family, I was 20 and in college. I went with a Shakespeare program in England. I was a student and wide-eyed and full of wonder. It was a wonderful trip. It was great to travel and see how people viewed the United States from a foreign point of view.
Q. Have you ever taken a job because the location was so enticing?
A. Oh, yes. It wasn't a film or TV job. Universal Studios was opening a new park in Singapore and they asked me to go there for a year. I helped open the park. It was hard to leave L.A., to step out of the business for a year, but the idea of living in Singapore and experiencing everything about that part of the world was something I couldn't pass up. It was an amazing year. Singapore is such an incredible country. It was fascinating and I loved it.
Q. How adventurous are you about dining overseas?
A. I like trying new food, but since I am mostly vegan, I can be a little picky about food. I don't have a delicate stomach or anything like that, though.
Q. Where would you like to visit next?
A. In the U.S., Chicago is the number one place I want to go to. I am dying to go there and see Second City and all the wonderful places. I'm such a comedy nerd.
