My Travelled life PAris Hilton, 30, BusinesswomAn

On memOriesi was born in new York, and we were always

flying to europe. i remember being in a

park in london when i was four years old,

feeding pigeons — that was my favourite

thing to do. But now i think it’s illegal. i’ve

travelled around europe every summer

since i was a little girl.

On LOndOnlondon is my favourite place in the world

because it is so much fun. i love the

architecture, the food, the people. i would

live there if it wasn’t for the weather.

On jet Lagi try to sleep the whole way on the plane

— and then as soon as you get to your

destination, don’t just go to bed — try and

adapt immediately to the time difference.

otherwise you could find yourself up all

night and it is difficult to get into the right

sleep pattern after the first night.

On pOvertyi was in Guatemala last year on a humani-

tarian trip, and i was visiting some seriously

poor villages. i never thought i would visit

places like that. it was heartbreaking to see

many children in orphanages — but it was

very eye opening. it’s important to use my

profile to raise awareness of issues.

On LOs angeLesi would take visitors to mr Chow, which

does the best Chinese food in lA. i would

probably take them to a club. Beacher’s

madhouse is so much fun and such an

experience. it’s at the roosevelt Hotel and

my friend Jeff Beacher owns it. there is no

club like it. there are shows going on, little

people, magic tricks and performances —

it is definitely an experience.

On reLaxatiOni have a constantly hectic schedule, so

i don’t really have a lot of time to relax.

But when i do i like to cuddle up with

my five teacup doggies and watch movies.

On ambitiOni’ve accomplished so much so far. i have

17 different product lines, i’m currently

finishing my second album, on my third

tV series, writing a new book, and i want

to get involved in real estate — first beach

clubs, then hotels. it’s pretty non-stop. i’m

a workaholic, but i love it.
