Celebrity Travel: Go Away With Drew Chadwick
Best known for his work with Emblem3, musician Drew Chadwick says he finds inspiration in his travels, which have taken him all over the world. But there's no place like home for the 26-year-old "Pacific" singer. "I've done a pretty significant amount of traveling," he says. "But nowhere has ever been as beautiful or held as much sentimental value as Washington State, which I consider to be home base number one." Chadwick, 26, stays in touch with his fans on Twitter (https://twitter.com/truechadwick), Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/TrueChadwick) and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/drewchadwick/).
Q. What is your favorite vacation destination?
A. There's this island off the coast of South Thailand. I don't want to say its name because I don't want people to know where it's at, but it's actually paradise and it's an island where no animals are killed and all the food's plant-based. Everyone is enlightened and lives together in harmony with nature. I would recommend that (visitors) forget that they previously existed the second they step off the plane. That way the trip will be a rebirth and a fresh experience with no weight from the past.
Q. What was the first trip you took as a child?
A. I went to the happiest place in the world -- Disneyland. I absolutely loved it.
Q. What's the most important thing you've learned from your travels?
A. That it's not where you go. It's not the marvels that you witness. It's not even those who you are in company with. It's the quality of your very being, the richness of your heart and the lightness of spirit that makes any location and any adventure a cherishable, memorable, enriching experience.
Q. Have you traveled to a place that stood out so much that you felt compelled to incorporate it into your work?
A. Absolutely. Inspiring landscapes and dynamic cultures always stimulate creativity and art.
