Celebrity Travel: Go away with Jessica Lowndes
Jessica Lowndes got to show off her singing prowess on the CW series "90210." The singer-actress is excited about the release of her solo album “ELEMENTAL,” which releases on Aug. 19. "My travels have exposed me to a lot of new music and introduced me to some of my favorite musicians, including some of my collaborators on my new album,” said Lowndes, who splits her time between Los Angeles and Vancouver. "At one point, we were all working on the album over Zoom from different countries – Canada, United States, United Kingdom, (Denmark).” For more information on Lowndes’ music, follow her on Spotify and Apple Music.
Q: This pandemic has made everyone think differently about how we spend our free time. What have you been up to?
A: I think for me, it has been a time to really appreciate the incredible people in my life and spend quality time with them and my family. I have taken a few short road trips. I spend a ton of time up in Whistler, which is a short drive away from Vancouver. I also recently spent a month in Costa Rica this year working remotely, which was an unbelievable experience. Nothing like screenwriting and writing music from the jungle with monkeys on the balcony.
Q: If you had to cancel travel plans due to the pandemic, where were they to?
A: Definitely Disneyland. I’ve been wanting to go back for a while now. I’m a huge Disneyland fan and used to be a season pass holder before the pandemic.
Q: What is your favorite vacation destination?
A: It’s impossible to just pick one. I’m lucky to get to travel a lot and I fall in love with most of the places I visit. They usually inspire songs or locations for scenes in the films that I write. I love Europe so much. I especially love London. Some of my favorite people on the planet live there. If you’re planning on visiting, you must go to Hummingbird Bakery and try one of their red velvet cupcakes. They are my absolute favorite.
Q: What untapped destination should people know about?
A: I think Vancouver. I love it and found so many beautiful places there to film the visual album of “ELEMENTAL.” From the scenic views of the ocean, to the North Shore mountains, to the forests, Vancouver is just so clean and green. I love going on adventures. I love being able to drive to the snow in a heartbeat. I also really love the laid-back lifestyle in Vancouver and the people. It’s a lot slower-paced than L.A. but still has all the excitement of a major city. Even though I’m from there, my jaw drops whenever I take in the stunning scenery.
Q: What was the first trip you took as a child?
