Celeb Travel–Surveen Chawla, Actor

“I need scenic views wherever I stay”
Travel plan I strongly stick to my bucket list. I pick the top places on my bucket list and check if the weather there is favourable to travel or not. If not, I think of places I have never been to before. That is basically the way I plan my travel. Everything else is taken care of by my husband. Scenic views matter to me. I also prefer picking centrally located hotels.

Travel style I can’t travel light.
Food while travelling I was in Italy for my wedding recce and instead of the usual chicken, fish, or prawns, I ate partridge and it was good! That trip changed my food preferences.

Must-pack items A bottle of my favourite drink, Kashmiri kahwah. I have been having it since my childhood and still have it post lunch and dinner.

Travel lesson you have learnt My foodie moment was my travel lesson. It is so important to eat the local food wherever you go. It is so fresh and hygienic.


Funniest or scariest travel moment When one of my staff members was taken into custody at the immigration in Italy during my wedding.

Travel gear Separates that go well with each other. Something that goes with everything and is versatile. A puffer jacket for cold places.

Travel goals New Zealand.

Travel pet peeves Dirty washrooms.

Best family holiday/solo travel Best family holiday was Italy. I don’t travel solo.
Next stop Lisbon, Portugal
