Checking in… Singer Paul Young reveals why America is his favourite holiday destination and recalls the time he ate a duck’s tongue in Taiwan
Singer Paul Young checks in to our travel Q&A this week
This week singer Paul Young checks in to our travel Q&A.
He talks about his earliest holiday memories, taking ‘fun-packed’ RV trips across the U.S, eating duck’s tongue in Taiwan and being asked to sing in airports.
EARLIEST HOLIDAY?
Growing up, we visited Devon and Cornwall where I learnt to surf and had my first horse riding lesson.
We stayed in caravan parks and I have fond memories of Paignton and Newquay.
TOP DESTINATION?
America, when I did three RV trips with the kids, Levi, Layla and Grady.
They were fun-packed, including horse riding in Canyon de Chelly, a helicopter trip over the Grand Canyon and hiring jet bikes on Lake Mead.
WHERE NEXT?
I fancy a safari in South Africa. Watching animals in the wild must be amazing.
WHAT DO YOU AVOID ON HOLIDAY?
Too much travelling around. Because I’m on the go constantly, I like to relax. For most of our holidays, we return to Lake Como and visit friends.

EVER HAD A BAD FLIGHT?
Yes, while flying to Cornwall from London to attend a gig. I was on a tiny prop plane in a thunderstorm. It was so frightening.
STRANGEST THING FOR DINNER?
A duck’s tongue in Taiwan. It looked like it had been pulled out with forceps.
DO PEOPLE EXPECT YOU TO SING?
Often. People think I can burst into song any time of the day, it’s crazy. Someone at an airport in Germany asked me to sing Wherever I Lay My Hat. It’s strange, they wouldn’t ask people in other professions to perform on the spot.
