Pregnant Ashley Tisdale Reveals The Romantic Place She Wants To Travel With Husband Christopher French

Unfortunately, travel is still on hold for many. But it’s the perfect time to reminisce about trips of the past and start to plan ones for the future. That’s what Ashley Tisdale has been doing while waiting for her daughter to arrive. The actress and soon-to-be mom has been sharing throwback photos (along with naked pregnant pics) with her 13 million Instagram followers and teamed up with CheapTickets to announce their contest where a winner in their 20s will be awarded $5,000 a year to travel until they turn 30 (total prizing could be up to $50,000 depending on winner’s age). I got to chat with the 35-year-old as part of the partnership where she revealed a life-changing trip she took in her 20s and the one place she wants to go with her husband, Christopher French. 

You were fortunate to be able to travel so much in your 20s. What were some of the highlights?

 I’ve gone to Europe, Italy and went on my honeymoon to Bora Bora, which was amazing. But I have to say one of my favorite trips ever was Cabo. I love this one specific hotel there. I took my girlfriend, Vanessa, and Shelly for a girl’s trip. It was one of those moments in time where I had just broken up with my boyfriend and was having a really rough time. It was just so needed just to be able to go away with your girlfriends. We did everything you probably would do with a guy, but like just did with the girls. We went swimming with dolphins, had dinner night on the beach, and did a movie night.

Do you think traveling in your 20s is important?

It was a freeing time in my life. I think traveling always makes you grow. You do find yourself and learn a lot about yourself and the people you travel with.

Is there a travel memory where you felt out of your comfort zone?

When I was in New Zealand doing a movie, I felt very far away from home, and I missed my family. I just felt a little alone. It was one of those experiences where you find out even more about yourself. You don’t know who you are until you’re out of your comfort zone. It’s so easy to be comfortable, but it’s harder when you have to figure out your way. I worried about how I would get back to the hotel, and I figured it out and was fine. They also eat a lot more meat out there than I do. So food-wise, it was hard to find things that I really loved. But it was an amazing experience at the end of the day. 

Is there a place that’s still on your bucket list? 

I’ve never gone to Europe with my husband. I really would love to do that with him. I want to go back to Paris because I never went to the Eiffel tower. When I was there, I didn’t go to the Eiffel tower because I wanted to go with someone I’m in love with. 

You’re expecting a baby girl soon. Is traveling with your family once your daughter is here important to you?

Of course! It’s funny because I brought my dog Maui with me everywhere. Maybe three weeks after getting her, I took her to Rome. I want to have that same experience when we have our baby. I mean, who knows, maybe she’ll be at the Eiffel tower with us. I’ll have two loves of my life!
