Celebrity Travel: Go Away With Patrick J. Adams

By Jae-Ha Kim, Tribune Content Agency on

Best known for playing hotshot attorney Mike Ross on the USA Network series, "Suits," Patrick J. Adams is also an avid photographer who enjoys photographing his travels. The Canadian actor phoned for this interview just a few days after his last trip. "I was just in Mexico and Brazil," says Adams, 33. "I was in Brazil for a guys' trip. We did a week of hanging out and it was outstanding. And then my fiancee ('Pretty Little Liars' actress Troian Bellisario) met me in Mexico for another week of traveling. I loved every moment." Fans may keep up with Adams on his website (http://www.halfadams.com/) and on Twitter (https://twitter.com/halfadams).

Q. What was the first trip you took as a child?

A. We traveled a lot. My dad was a journalist. One great trip we took was to Israel. We went there and drove through the whole country and it was pretty incredible. We went to the Philippines and saw the beauty of that country, but also what poverty really looks like. That had a profound effect on me.

Q. What is your favorite vacation destination?

A. I spent a month in New Zealand a couple years ago. It's one of my favorite places. It was amazing. I wish we could've stayed there forever. It was so breathtaking and the people were so kind and it was so easy to get around. We also had a fantastic trip to Berlin, which is one of my favorite cities of all time. I would jump at the chance to go there again. My father was in Berlin when the wall came down. It has a real historical significance for our family. I also love going to Canada. My sister lives off the coast of British Columbia and it's just the most spectacular place. She lives off the grid in a cabin made of logs. The people there are some of the greatest I've met in my life.

Q. What is on your travel bucket list?

 

A. I want to travel to Bali, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia. ... I've never done Africa and would love to do it. It's such a large continent, though, that I don't know where to start. I would love to find a way to get to Africa, though, and explore it. I've never been to Australia. I was so close when I was in New Zealand, but I didn't have time to visit. Just having been to Brazil, I'd love to spend more time in South America, Peru, Chile, Argentina. There are so many incredible places I need to get to.

Q. What do you always bring on your trips?

A. I always travel with one book. I'll read it and then leave it for someone else, and take another book. I bring a notebook or a journal and my computer, so that I can go through my photos. And a couple of cameras. That's it.

Q. Do you prefer luxury trips or roughing it?
