What do you like to do on the Gold Coast?
BM: I
like Broadbeach and Surfers Paradise. I've got some friends down there,
so I catch up with them. To be right by the beach where there's a ton
of shops and restaurants, you're like, "Oh, thank God, we're in a place
where there's like a bar to go hang out at."
When you're always travelling, you can end up in places in the middle of nowhere - not so fun.
Where is your favourite place to travel?
BM:
It's hard to choose just one. I really like Australia. I like to go
where there are lots of places you can go to from there. Where you can
jump on a flight for a couple of hours and be in a completely different
spot. Europe is the same.
Has anything gone wrong when you've been travelling?
BM:
Everything. When you're travelling you just have to expect it; lost
bags more than once; cancelled flights; missed flights; lost passport. I
lost my passport in the Philippines. That is not a good place to lose
your your passport.
What's your philosophy for coping when things go wrong?
BM:
My philosophy in life is: Don't honk your horn. If they're taking that
extra second to go, I don't honk. It's the same with travelling. You
know those people yelling at the airport staff? You have to chill.
You're
not going enjoy your trip if you spend the whole time being stressed
out. You just have to know that sometimes things are going to go wrong
and sometimes they won't.
How many holidays do you get to take a year?
BM:
To be honest, taking holidays has not been a tradition of mine. In the
past five years I've had to start making it a point to go on a vacation.
Any in the pipeline?
BM: Actually no, that's a good reminder. I don't know but I'm definitely going to go on one at the end of the year.
Do you like to stay in places off the beaten track or big hotels?
BM:
I like small boutique hotels that aren't part of big chains. One-offs.
I've stayed in bed and breakfasts but those kind of places don't work
that well when you're travelling with the band.
Is your house full of souvenirs from your travels?
BM:
Yes I do have a lot. I've got a pair of Elvis Presley's sunglasses, a
pair of Larry King's suspenders and a tambourine from Prince.
