Whenever I write a new song, it always happens when I come back from Europe or Egypt or something like that. It's always from travelling.
I'm a true country Southern girl that has always been built around family, cookouts and gatherings and being together on the holidays, singing together and laughing together. So whenever God opened doors for me to be able to travel the world and sing and do all the great things that I've done, I didn't want to lose that part so family first for me.
I don't live anywhere. I have always dreamed of moving out of my country because Sweden is boring.
I think that one of the main privileges of what I do, which I am just starting to learn, is to have the ability to travel all over the world and experience different cultures.
Christopher Columbus was looking for a passage to India, but he landed in America. He landed in the wrong place, and when he got back, he wasn't sure where he'd been. But most important of all, he did it on someone else's money.
I'm writing constantly about all my crazy experiences across the world, so I have a lot of music I've already written.

I have always been intrigued by other cultures, and traveling to foreign lands has always been a part of my personal passion for learning about our world.
I've been living, I've lived in New York since I was 18 years old and traveled pretty much all over the world.
I remember kickboxing and traveling the world when I was young. I would go to Japan or Africa, and I would go for the experience. As soon as I got off the plane, we'd go have a good time, party. Fighting was just the outlet of what I was doing there.
I love traveling all over the world; but it's true: there's nothing like home.
I first came to China as a child on a visit with my family in 1978.
I'm an artist and a journalist. I travel around the world very often for 'Vice Magazine,' and I draw and I write about prisons, about conflict zones.
I lived my twenties on the road, in all different countries experiencing this momentum of a career which was taking off in its own way.
On my first flight, I don't know if maybe it's a function of time, or if I was less stressed on my second flight, but just being able to tell what part of the planet we were flying over by the reflected light coming through the window - that was pretty special.
There's no question 'Amazing Race' is a beautifully produced show.
I have walked many times around the world and each time it's different from the last one. It feels a little bit like I am a theatrical director, creating a theatre in space. It's really a theater in the sky. But of course the World Trade Center is certainly the most well-known of my productions.
Touring the world was almost like a side project that got out of control. It's like two incredibly demanding full-time jobs that I'm trying to do at once.
Inspiration is around you. Like, when I travel any country, be it Paris or London, while walking on the streets, the architecture, the restaurants all inspire me. Inspiration for design could be anywhere.
We watch a lot of Discovery Channel, shows like 'The Biggest Loser' and even 'Amazing Race.' You learn a lot about the world, it's fun and nobody's interested in beating anybody down. And then the opposite: I'm a huge fan of 'Survivor.'

You need to learn how to walk the world, he told me. There's a lot out there.

I've flown from Aspen and then to Switzerland the next day and then off again the day after. That's the thing I love most about snowboarding, honestly - getting to travel and explore different places and meet people.
