Celebrity Travel: Go Away With Alex Castillo

By Jae-Ha Kim, Tribune Content Agency on

A. Wisconsin Dells. My parents just loved that place and I grew to love it, too. A quick drive from Chicago.

Q. What's the most important thing you've learned from your travels?

A. Empathy and gratitude.

Q. If you could only pick one place to eat, which would you choose: a casual meal at a street cart or fine dining at a nice restaurant?

A. Street carts in Mexico City's Zocalo -- the main city square. There are no better tacos anywhere in the world. A close second would be the street carts in the Patpong district of Bangkok for chicken pad Thai. Yum!

Q. Where are your favorite weekend getaways?

 

A. The Guadalupe Valley in Baja California, Mexico and New York City.

Q. Where is the most romantic destination?

Q. If you've ever gone away for the holidays, which was the best trip?
