Celebrity Travel: Go Away With Marta Milans

By Jae-Ha Kim, Tribune Content Agency on

A. Any restaurant from the great Spanish chef Jose Andres here in the United States, especially because he was the first chef in the U.S. to carry my family's delicious Santa Gadea Organic Goat Cheese (www.santa-gadea.com) that my mom makes on our farm in Spain. You must try it!

Q. Where are your favorite weekend getaways?

A. Joshua Tree when in Los Angeles, Southampton when in New York and any place where you could get lost in the Highlands in Scotland.

Q. Do you speak any foreign languages?

A. I am currently working on Russian, my seventh language, which is becoming a daunting quest, but I am not giving up! All the other languages I speak -- English, Spanish, French, Italian, German and Portuguese -- came much more naturally to me.

Q. What are your five favorite cities?

A. Other than L.A., New York City, Ibiza, Amsterdam, Budapest, Madrid.

Q. Where would you like to go that you have never been to before?

 

A. There are so many places. Just to name a few, Japan, Rajasthan, Brazil, Russia and Argentina.

Q. When you go away, what are some of your must-have items?

A. My Bose music speaker so I can play my music wherever I go and my Montblanc fountain pen so that I can write postcards to my family and friends from wherever I am.

Q. What is your guilty pleasure when you're on the road?

A. Finding a place that serves amazing gelato. I always manage to find some wherever I go.
