Celebrity Travel: Go away with Elly Griffiths
Q: When you go away, what are some of your must-have items?
A: Several books, a notebook, and a big scarf.
Q: What would be your dream trip?
A: India or China. I’d love to go on a railway trip across India.
Q: What is your guilty pleasure when you're on the road?
A: I try not to feel guilty about pleasure, but I do enjoy a large gin and tonic on arrival.
Q: What kind of research do you do before you go away on a trip?
A: I used to buy guidebooks and pore over them. Now I’m slightly less organized and have more surprises. I do try to learn a few phrases in the language of the place I’m visiting.
Q: What is your best and/or worst vacation memory?
A: My best recent memory is arriving in Saint Lucia at night – our first trip outside Europe since lockdown. My worst was a rented cottage in rural France where the village seemed to be deserted, apart from stray dogs that roamed the streets like wolves.
