Celebrity Travel: Go away with Will Clinger

Jae-Ha Kim, Tribune Content Agency on

A: The travels I've taken with the show have been a lesson on the fortitude, creativity and downright friendliness of my fellow Americans. Sure, there's a lot of rancor and divisiveness in our country, but that seems to fall by the wayside when people are sharing stuff they love to do, like racing pumpkins, spotting UFOs or raising fainting goats.

Q: Where are your favorite weekend getaways?

A: I spent a couple of summers with the Peninsula Players Theatre in Door County, Wisconsin, back in the '90s, and ever since I've tried to get back there for a long weekend at least once a year. Southern Illinois is pretty great for a weekend excursion. Giant City State Park is chock full of good hikes. A little closer to home, Lake Geneva and the Indiana Dunes are high on my list.

Q: If you've ever gone away for the holidays, which was the best trip?

A: In the early days, to grandmother's house we went, which was in Sharon, Pennsylvania. Second best? That would be Christmas in Williamsburg, Virginia, where they really gussy the place up for the holidays and add a lot of Christmas-related events to the historical experience.

Q: Do you speak any foreign languages?

A: I took six years of French in middle school and high school to no avail. I might be able to barely read it on the page, but once actual French people start speaking it, I'm clueless.

 

Q: What are your five favorite cities?

A: Chicago, London, Venice, New York and Lisbon.
