Celebrity Travel: Go Away With Constance Zimmer
"Traveling opens your eyes to different cultures," says actress Constance Zimmer. "I have learned that there are many, many people living in countries with so much less than what we have and they sometimes seem much happier (than us)." The star of the Lifetime series "UnREAL," Zimmer also may be seen in the film adaptation of "Entourage." The Seattle native currently resides in Los Angeles with her husband and daughter. Fans may follow her on Twitter at https://twitter.com/ConstanceZimmer or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/ConstanceZimmerOfficial.
Q. What is your favorite vacation destination?
A. Italy, because you can explore so many different regions on one trip. The options are endless between the countryside, the island of Capri, the Amalfi Coast, the city and the villages on mountaintops. Italian food is my favorite food, so that's an added bonus that makes Italy my favorite vacation destination.
Q. What untapped destination should people know about?
A. I'm not sure if anything is untapped these days, but I do feel like not enough people go to Bali, because it's so far away. I can say that it is worth the travel. I was intrigued by the ancient towers that are guarded by monkeys, the kind Balinese people and the landscape of the rice paddies, which are just stunning. I need to go back because 10 days wasn't enough.
Q. What was the first trip you took as a child? And did you love it, or not so much?
A. I traveled a lot from an early age, due to my parents being divorced. Lots of trips back and forth to Seattle to visit my dad along with annual holidays spent in Maui, which is why I never complained about visiting. My sister and I were sent to Germany every summer for six weeks to be with our grandparents from the ages of three to 18. I loved it for the most part, until I got old enough to miss my friends. But then I just invited my friends to come with me. I definitely loved it.
Q. What's the most important thing you've learned from your travels?
A. I've learned about people. The people I've traveled with and the people whose countries I've been fortunate enough to visit. It made me realize that I'm so small and the world is so big.
Q. If you've ever gone away for the holidays, which was the best trip?
