Celebrity Travel: Go Away With Katherine Castro

By Jae-Ha Kim, Tribune Content Agency on

Born in the Dominican Republic, actress Katherine Castro ("Someday") has a minimalist's approach to hitting the road. "Travel light," she says. "Less is more. If it doesn't fit in your carry-on, you don't need it." A resident of West Hollywood, Castro says it's helpful that she speaks several languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese, French and Arabic), but stepping outside of your comfort zone can make trips an enjoyable learning experience regardless of your level of fluency. Fans may stay in touch with Castro via Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/OfficialKatherineCastro/), Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/officialkatherinecastro/) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/katcastroo).

Q. What is your favorite vacation destination?

A. Paris. It's my home away from home. Definitely visit The Louvre and perhaps split it into different days. One day isn't enough to fully enjoy it and take in all the art. Also visit the Musée D'Orsay. Walk everywhere. Go for a picnic at the Trocadéro Gardens. Lay on the grass. It's so relaxing. Go for a ride with the boys from Retro Tours Paris. It's a fun way to discover the city and learn about Paris, riding on a sidecar of a classic motorcycle. I spent Christmas in Paris one time. It was especially beautiful, because it snowed. Then I went to Singapore for New Year's.

Q. What untapped destination should people know about?

A. Bahia de las Águilas and Samaná in the Dominican Republic. My country has so many hidden treasures. Haiti!

Q. What are your five favorite cities?

 

A. Paris, London, Hong Kong, Amman, Rio de Janeiro.

Q. Where have you traveled to that most reminded you of home?

A. Rio de Janeiro. The weather, the people, the colors, the food -- everything about it felt like the Dominican Republic, with the difference being that the language is Portuguese.

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