Celebrity Travel: Go away with Matthew Salesses

Jae-Ha Kim, Tribune Content Agency on

A: I like New York a lot. I’ve always loved visiting before, but now I like living here. Before I moved, I thought it would be less fun, because when I visited it’d always be so hectic. I’d spent a lot of money and then was glad to leave. But now, I like visiting all the neighborhoods. I lived in Prague for a year. It’s one of my favorite cities for sure. Paris left a strong impression on me. It’s really a beautiful city. Houston for the food. And if I picked a city in South Korea, it’d be Seoul for the culture and people. It has everything.

Q: Do you go away on any writing retreats?

A: No, because of my children. But I do take them with me when I take short trips to do readings. I’m going to be taking them to Baltimore, D.C., Columbus, Boston … and I think we’ll be going to Seattle in March when I attend a writing conference.

Q: What are some things you like to do in New York?

A: We love Central Park. It’s not too far from where we live. I’ve gotten into photography as a hobby now, so I take pictures of the kids while they play. There are so many parks and playgrounds that we’re always exploring. We go to Koreatown all the time to eat amazing food, too.
