In a show of thanks apropos for this time of year,
Phillip Phillips is re-releasing his debut album, “The World from the Side of the Moon,” with three additional live tracks on November 19.
The past year has given the 11th-season winner of “American Idol” a lot to be thankful for. Not only did “The World from the Side of the Moon” go platinum, but Phillips has been globetrotting with John Mayer on the Born and Raised Tour.
A stop in Palmer, Alaska provided the Georgia native an opportunity to shoot the “Where We Came From” song video (you can see it at below).
“We were freezing our tails off,” he told FMU of the experience. “Between takes, we’d stop and take in the beauty and quiet of the landscape.” Does Phillips get to stop and smell the roses often? Nope. Apparently, even his zip-line tours occur during concerts.

What’s something you never fail to pack in your suitcase?
I always bring regular t-shirts, nothing fancy, just good ole worn out t-shirts.
旅行箱里必带的东西？
t恤，各种穿旧的t恤
【哈哈 哈哈哈哈

Carry-on or check-in?
I’d rather carry on, but usually have to check in.
【不太知道这个是啥意思，关于旅行时候的行李寄送之类的么；；

Window or aisle?
Aisle. I like spreading out, letting loose and not worrying about too much, like having to ask when I need to get up.
靠窗的位子还是过道的位子
伸展得开手脚，可以放松，不需要麻烦。【可是靠近过道的位子是比较麻烦的吧。。

What’s your idea of the perfect vacation?
It depends on the time of year. During the summer, I like being on an island or a beach, just relaxing with no phone calls or emails coming in. When I was growing up, my family always traveled to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge (both in Tennessee) in the winter, so I always like going up to the mountains and staying in a cabin with family and friends that time of year.
完美假期是啥么样的？
夏天的话，海岛沙滩。
冬天的话，山里小屋。

Where’s your favorite destination for performing?
Rio. It was just amazing.
最喜欢的表演的地点？
里约热内卢。

What’s the worst annoyance you’ve experienced while traveling?
We were in the Philippines and had to play one show during my birthday week. I was good all the way up to my birthday and then got sick.
旅行中经历过最闹心的事情？
在菲律宾，然后需要在我生日的那周表演。结果生日那天生病了。

What's the silliest souvenir you’ve ever brought back from a trip?
T-shirts from the places I travel. I wear them for years, even when they get holes in them and people tell me I need to stop wearing them.
旅行后带回来最蠢的纪念品？
t恤。一穿就好久年。然后都穿破了。。。。。

Ever try a food you wished you hadn't?
I was raised up “don’t knock it until you try it,” so I’ll try anything. There have been a lot of times where I wish I hadn’t. Like in France or the Philippines. There’s a lot of amazing food there, but it’s so different from what I’m used to in U.S. In the Philippines, there was this creamy yogurt-looking dessert that looked good, but when you bit into it, it was chewy and didn’t have the greatest texture.
尝过某种食物然后后悔么？
我从小就接受的教育就是勇于尝试，所以我总是会尝试。的确有可多东西我希望我木有尝过的。在菲律宾那次，吃过一种看起来想奶油酸奶的甜品，看起来灰常不错，结果吃起来是黏不拉几的口感超烂

Favorite restaurant you’ve discovered while traveling.
I’m a big foodie. I like eating at local places when I’m traveling; local food is usually fresher tasting. When I was doing my album, we had a burger shootout in New York around Times Square. We got burgers from Five Guys, 5 Napkin and the Shake Shack. I loved Shake Shack’s burgers the best; they’re kind of creamy.
旅行过程中发现的最好的餐厅？
我是个大吃货。旅行的时候，我喜欢尝试当地的一些小吃。当初在纽约录专辑的时候，有一个汉堡店超好的blahblahblah
【说了半天就是个汉堡店。。。哎。。。你个大吃货赶紧收拾收拾来我大天朝 ｡◕‿◕｡

Biggest regret you've ever had while on vacation.
When I went to Brazil, I wanted to go zip-lining in the jungle or over a waterfall, but didn’t have time. I did get to zip-line over the crowd at the Rocking Rio concert, though.
度假中最大的遗憾？
在巴西的时候，我想在丛林或者瀑布玩个滑索道，可惜木有时间。
但是后来在rock rio演唱会的时候我有在人群里玩了一下。
【咦，木有听说呀 看视频也木有看到 、。想瞅瞅~

The one thing you're willing to splurge on when traveling above all else.
Food.

食物。

Where would you take someone visiting your hometown for the first time?
In my hometown of Leesburg, Georgia, I’d take them to Flint River and Kinchifoonee Creek to go boating, tubing, jumping off ropes and swimming.
如果有人第一次去你家乡，你会带他去哪里玩？
去XX小河和XX小溪玩水上游戏、

You only get one more trip in your lifetime. Where will it be?
Ireland. After seeing photos and films, I’ve always wanted to go. It looks so beautiful and relaxing, and I love listening to the accents of people from there.
如果你人生中只能再有一次机会去旅游，你会去哪？
爱尔兰。看过照片和电影，觉得那里特美很让人放松的赶脚，而且我喜欢听那里的人说话的口音。
【我也超喜欢爱尔兰人的口音，大三的时候约翰讲爱尔兰文化的时候我也特想去 啊忒想约翰了。。等以后有机会一定去爱尔兰转转~！
