Anna Kendrick talks to USA today about her favorite spots on the globe which range from Nebraska to Scotland. She also talks about some of her travel tips, which we totally agree on the shower and bed points that she makes. The hotel can have all sorts of ambiance, but if the water pressure sucks and the bed is lumpy, it’s all over! (Photo credit: Matt Sayles AP)
Q: Did you learn anything about traveling while making Up in the Air?
A: I’m getting better about going through security. I’m trying to be better about wearing slip-on shoes and not forgetting to take my laptop out of my suitcase. Traveling makes me a little nervous, because the actual act of being in an airport means you’re completely at the mercy of other people.
Q: What’s the sexiest place you’ve ever visited?
A: I thought Omaha, Neb., was pretty sexy. I swear to God. Conor Oberst (of Mystic Valley Band fame) came out of there, and where we were staying was near all these record shops and used T-shirt shops. They all had this kind of rock ‘n’ roll vibe. It was like every person walking down the street was going to be the next big thing. I’ve got a real thing for kind of rebellious, music-looking guys.
Q: Where have you been recently, and what did you like about it?
A: I went to London to do some press. They don’t have a lot of foods that I’m used to having available at all times, but I did enjoy sticky toffee pudding, shepherd’s pie and black pudding for the first time. Even though (the British) don’t have a reputation for having the best food in the world, I definitely went on quite a binge.
