Celebrity Travel: Go away with Rudi

By Jae-Ha Kim, Tribune Content Agency on

A: I’m gonna have to go with Spain. The culture, the people, the food. … While I was there, so many things reminded me of where I came from.

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

A: Switzerland.

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

A: Definitely good skin-care items. My face gets really dry when I travel. Also, a good camera.

Q: What would be your dream trip?

A: I have so many places I want to see and so many places I want to visit again. I just love traveling in general and learning about different cultures.

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

 

A: Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. (Laughs)

Q: What kind of research do you do before you go away on a trip?

A: I try and do as much as possible without spoiling everything. I like to be surprised when I get to a place, but I also like to have a decent itinerary ready so I can take advantage of my time there.

Q: What is your best and/or worst vacation memory?

A: Let’s start with the worst memory. Me and my family went to the Virgin Islands one year and I wound up catching pneumonia. I thought I was going to die. I was so sick. I didn’t enjoy one minute of that vacay. Best memory would definitely have to be my first trip out of the country. It was to Spain. I had always wanted to leave the country and I finally did for my 23rd birthday. I remember getting to my Airbnb and just crying happy tears. It was the coolest feeling.
