Celebrity Travel: Go away with Cristina Rodlo
A: Los Angeles, Paris, Madrid, New York City and Mexico City.
Q: When you go away, what are some of your must-have items?
A: I’m honestly a terrible packer. I usually end up packing a huge suitcase with a bunch of clothes that in the end I don’t even use. And every time I see those clothes, I’m like, “Why did I pack these?” Every time, I tell myself, “Next time, I’m just going to pack a small suitcase.” But then again, I just keep making the same mistake. (Laughs)
Q: What would be your dream trip?
A: A house by the beach with a pool, a big kitchen, a lot of fresh food to cook and wine. My dog, a great novel, my laptop to write whatever comes to mind. No internet. That way, I’m completely disconnected with the world. That’ll be my perfect trip.
Q: What is your guilty pleasure when you're on the road?
A: Chips! I usually don’t eat junk food, but when I’m on the road, let’s bring the chips!
Q: What is your best vacation memory?
A: My best vacation memory is when I went to France for the first time. I started in Paris and then rented a car and did a road trip, first to Épernay – where the champagne is made – and then I drove to Brussels, Ghent and Bruges. That trip has been my favorite so far.
