OT What does a vacation mean to you
Penelope Cruz Ah, it is life It is learning, it is fun, it is living I am a compulsive traveller and I find a way to put in a bit of vacation even in my work-related travel.
OT Elaborate
Penelope Cruz Like, I will take off walking all by myself with a huge hat and some amount of disguise. I often wear a set of removable braces to make my face look less noticeable so I can go and check out a few touristy places and lots of lesser-known ones.
OT What are the lesser-known places you like to go to
Penelope Cruz Karaoke is a non-negotiable part of my travel experience. Ive gone to karaoke bars in almost every city I have been to. Every time I am on a movie location, we find a karaoke bar and take the crew.
OT One holiday every woman should try at least once in her life
Penelope Cruz Scuba divingwith sharks. Ive done it in the Caribbean and Brazil. I think they were lemon or reef sharks. It is such a sense of exhilaration. I want to do it again, with a great white shark, when I can gather enough courage to look one in the eyes. In any case, if I do it, it will be in a cage. Im not crazy.
OT What do you never leave home without
Penelope Cruz Trsor perfume. I got my first bottle on my 13th birthday from my parents. Its been such an addiction since then. Now I always take a small bottle with me when I travel.
OT What was your most memorable holiday like
Penelope Cruz When I was 22, I volunteered in Kolkata at one of Mother Teresas orphanages, meeting her several times. It changed the way I saw the world.
OT What is your favourite destination

Penelope Cruz I would love to visit Patagonia, and then I would go to the Amazon, because Ive never been there.
