Celebrity Travel: Go away with Natalie Zea
A: I truly don’t remember my first trip as a child! I did a lot of flying by myself when I was really young – like five or six years old. My parents lived in separate towns, so I would go back and forth to see each of them. I know it’s not my first trip, but my dad took my cousin and me to Disney (World) in Florida when we were pre-teens and we really loved it. Looking back on it as a parent myself, I can’t imagine he had as much fun as we did.
Q: What's the most important thing you've learned from your travels?
A: I’m a really efficient packer. The downside is that it takes me a literal day to do it. I have to clear my schedule the day before I leave to go anywhere, but I always have what I need and not a lot of excess. I’ve also realized that it’s better to get to the airport earlier than you need to. It alleviates a lot of anxiety. If you can, try and get a credit card that gives you access to a lounge. It’s a game changer.
Q: Where are your favorite weekend getaways?
A: Palm Springs is one of my favorite places on the planet. I used to go once every few weeks. I took my daughter there for the first time earlier this year and she loved it, too.
Q: If you've ever gone away for the holidays, which was the best trip?
A: The only vacation I’ve ever been on over the Christmas holidays was a trip to Buenos Aires in 2008. It was my Christmas gift to my husband. We learned that Christmas Day is not such a big deal over there, but Christmas Eve is where it’s at. They do fireworks in the street and it’s nice and warm. Very different experience.
Q: Do you speak any foreign languages?
A: I used to speak French. I lived in Paris for two months in 2006 and got quite proficient. Not great at picking up languages, but I can do accents!
