Celebrity Travel: Go away with Ashley Versher
A: Africa and Japan are at the very top of my list!
Q: When you go away, what are some of your must-have items?
A: My white leather Converse, a little black dress, one perfect pair of sunglasses that work with every outfit and, of course, my favorite travel partner.
Q: What kind of research do you do before you go away on a trip?
A: I go wild! I love to do research. I use TripAdvisor, TikTok and YouTube. For my most recent trip to Paris, I came across a YouTube channel called Les Frenchies – they had fabulous recommendations!
Q: What is your best vacation memory?
A: There are so many to choose from but one that comes to mind is my most recent trip to Hawaii. I took the most luxurious nap on a Waikiki beach at the Moana Surfrider.
Q: What is your guilty pleasure when you're on the road?
A: A crisp glass of champagne, a delectable cheese and charcuterie board, and all the shopping a girl can handle.
Q: Do you speak any foreign languages?
A: Not yet! I’m OK with Spanish and I have picked up quite a bit of French from my travels and from family. French is probably the easiest of the two for me.
Q: If you could only pick one place to eat, would you prefer a food truck or fine dining?
A: Fine dining hands down! Mainly because I truly enjoy the entire experience. Hospitality is all about curating an unforgettable memory. Who wouldn’t want to have a meal like that?
