The comedian, actor, and writer reveals her secrets for seamless travel experiences.
I love journey . I truly be intimate visualize the Earth . Every time I come back to LA or New York , I ’m like , oh , we ’re not living right . It is skillful oversea , but I love it here . I do n’t want citizenry to be like , she hat America . America ’s great .
My first trip that I remember was driving to Chicago from New Jersey and it just tooksolong . I was in a minivan with my parent and my babe like , “ How can we impart ? How can we get out of this ? Why did n’t we do something else ? ” It was too long to be in a railcar . I will do a road misstep now . I just did a road slip from Chicago to Milwaukee . That was fun . I recall I could do two or three hours scoop . Anything else is like , let ’s get on a planer . Are we living in the Oregon Trail era ? No .
As an grownup , I truly think about budget and how much I want to spend on a flight and a hotel . I ’m not just go to any old place with any old somebody . I ’ve got to know if we work together well . I jaunt a lot with my best friend Sasheer because we travel really well together . She know I awaken up deep . I know she wakes up early . I make love she necessitate her breakfast in the good morning . So it ’s like , you go get your breakfast , I will sleep in . We will reconnect at twelve noon and determine what we ’re doing . Either we have programme or we ’re aviate by the tail end of our pants .

We ’re attempt to get Americans and non - Canadians toCanada during the winterbecause you may do playfulness thing like skiing or staying inside and tope raging cocoa .

Rapid fire
Window, middle, or aisle seat?
Window . Whoever says middle is a psychopath , like a true , blue sick person .
Pack light or overpack?
I pack luminousness and I also overpack . One fourth dimension we did three Day in Vegas , but I pack precisely three outfits , not thinking about how hot it was because it was the dead of summertime , or how you want to look nice for dinner party and then during the day you just wear thin shorts or whatever .
When I went toGreece , I under- and overpacked . I packed too many fancy skirts and dress for dinner party and we did n’t go to that many fancy dinner . It was more beach stuff . And then when I break down to Amsterdam , I did n’t have enough denim . And Amsterdam does n’t have no fertile the great unwashed , so there wasno jeans to be buy . So cut to me Febreezing my trouser being like , oh , I hope nobody says Nicole ’s funky .
Also , if I ’m run short for seven day , I will pack 14 pairs of underclothes . I truly pack like I ’m proceed to tell on myself every day . It ’s never materialise . I never wear all of them , but I ’m always like , I do n’t make out , something might go on .
Favorite way to pass time on a plane
Lately it ’s just been activity movies . I just watch the newestLara Croftmovie that nobody talked about and I was like , well , this is pretty good . I do n’t know why we ’re not talking about this . This girl was large . I just rewatched the originalTheFast and the Furious . It ’s a staring , sodding moving picture . I think all of them are really fun . And I just rewatchedFast Xon a plane , which is the later in theFastsaga .
Biggest travel fear
I do n’t live if I have a self-aggrandising travel fear because if I get kidnapped , what a fun story . If the plane crashes , I hump I ’ll survive . If a trajectory gets cancel , there ’s another flying . I dunno . I infer I ’m afraid that whoever I ’m with is go to be a pouter and it ’s going to suck ?
I do n’t empathise people who are afraid of woodworking plane , because so many planes fly every mean solar day . Sure , a plane once disappeared from the sky , but how often does that take place ? And if you go away , guess what ? You ’re in the tenth property . You get to take off a new life .
Best tip for fighting jet lag
My best summit for fighting cat valium slowdown is to stay awake . If you down at six or something , or three , do n’t take a nap ; stay alert for as long as you could , until you normally go to bed . And then , hopefully , in the eight or 10 minute you catch some Z’s , your body will refigure stuff out .
Favorite travel snack
Biscoff cookies . I ’m a Delta Diamond miss .
Go-to drink order on a plane
Vodka soda , put my hoodie over my read/write head , and go to slumber .
