Check-in I Passport Control

When’s the last time you were abroad? “I went to Paris in September to shoot a movie called “My beloved daughter”, and it was beautiful, delicious, and perfect”. How do you usually pick your destination? “There are places I love going back to, like New York or Amsterdam. In general, it depends on what I’m looking for at that moment – sun-soaking by the pool, or exploring a big city. I love any type of holiday”. What do you always pack with you? “A portable charger”. What’s the first thing you do when you arrive? “I go for a walk around the hotel to check out the neighborhood”. What would you never do abroad? “Complain about long lines at the supermarket checkout”. What’s the craziest thing that’s ever happened to you on holiday? “On one of my last flights, I made the classic mistake of getting to the airport at 12 o’clock in the afternoon instead of 12 o’clock at night. Obviously, I’d missed my flight, which was to Miami with a connection; I was sure I’d ruined my whole trip, but thankfully, a new flight was sorted out for me, and I ended up missing out on just half a day in Miami, which is a great place to stay by the way”. Where do you dream of going? “Mexico and Vietnam”. Who would you most like to go on holiday with, and where would you go? “I’d go to Texas with my dad. He loves country music, and it would be great to be able to fly out there with him to go see a concert”. Any recommendations? “There’s no place like New York, no words can describe it”.
