Ali Swallow, Tour Manager, USA

Name

Ali Swallow (Yes, that’s my real last name. Yeah, I know.)

Hometown

Sin City, of course. Viva Las Vegas baby! (born and raised)

Favorite travel memory

I bartended in a teensy outback town called Longreach, Australia for a few months when I was 22. I loved every moment of it – meeting the ranchers, joining the rugby team, going up in a mail plane, horseback riding, etc.

What other profession would you attempt if you weren’t a tour manager?

I’d like to be a Spanish explorer, an Alaskan Crab Fisherman or a San Francisco Color Consultant.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

Above Des Barras Pub in Clonakilty, Ireland. I saw Noel Redding, the bassist for the Jimi Hendrix Experience play there once. I bought him a drink…mostly so I could say I bought a rock star a drink.

Celebrity crush

Oh George Clooney, what you do to me!

If you were given a million dollars and 24 hours to spend it in, (no depositing it in the bank or investing it) what would you buy?

A flat in Greenwich Village, a record player, lots of vinyl and clothes.
