Celebrity Travel: Go away with Philipp Maximilian
A: The Côte d’Azur has a special place in my heart. We would drive down there for spring break from Germany, where I grew up. It’s so picturesque (and) so very romantic. I would say don’t make too many plans. Just rent a car and let the smell of lavender and pine trees guide you.
Q: What untapped destination should people know about?
A: There’s this beautiful meandering river in Germany called Moselle. You can rent a bike and go winery hopping. It’s Germany’s best kept secret, in my opinion.
Q: What's the most important thing you've learned from your travels?
A: My favorite moments while traveling are those unexpected finds and encounters with locals. I’m a control freak and used to plan out every last detail from where to eat and what places to visit. The problem is you miss all the little gems along the way by limiting yourself to your own plans.
Q: If you could only pick one place to eat, would you choose a street cart or fine dining?
A: Great question. I love to cook and do so most days of the week, so when I go out to eat, I love to order food that I never make at home, whether that’s at a hole-in-the-wall taco spot or a splurge-worthy eatery.
Q: Where are your favorite weekend getaways?
A: Palm Springs, Big Sur, Sequoia National Park.
Q: If you've ever gone away for the holidays, which was the best trip?
