Celebrity Travel: Go away with Maia Sharp
A: Nashville, Portland (Maine), Greenville (South Carolina), Los Angeles, Tokyo.
Q: When you go away, what are some of your must-have items?
A: Protein bars and a travel guitar.
Q: What is your guilty pleasure when you're on the road?
A: A slow, decadent breakfast with a crossword puzzle.
Q: What kind of research do you do before you go away on a trip?
A: It's all about the hotel or cabin rental. Where am I going to stay, and will it be everything I need when I come back from the unplanned excursion totally exhausted and depleted?
Q: What is your best and/or worst vacation memory?
A: The best is watching the waves crash outside the Fogcatcher Inn in Cambria, California, and swimming with sea turtles in Maui. The worst was the summer after my freshman year of college on a bus ride from London to Newcastle filled with smokers and, I'm pretty sure, exhaust from the bus itself. Fortunately, once the nausea wore off the next day, Newcastle was an interesting place to be.
