Celebrity Travel: Go Away With Dorian Missick
A. My diet goes completely out the window! I eat my way through every destination.
Q. What kind of research do you do before you go away on a trip?
A. I usually research what the locals are into. I find the heartbeat of any destination is where the working class is. Oftentimes vacation destinations are designed for foreigners to spend money and you end up getting a watered-down expensive experience. I like to get a real feel for anywhere I go.
Q. What is your best and/or worst vacation memory?
A. Hands down the best vacation experience was the last trip we took for the Christmas holiday. The worst were trips as a 10-year-old child and traveling with the whole family. My cousin and my uncle, who are more like my big brothers, are five and 10 years older than me, respectively, and didn't like being stuck with a kid during those times. I cramped their style on family vacations. Those were lonely times for me. (Laughs)
