Q. As a child, did you ever wish you could go on more conventional trips like you friends?
A. You know, this is all I knew. Just like being an only child was all I knew. I was always aware of how unique and cool it was that my mom got to take me to all these cool places because of her job and connections. It was so much fun traveling, primarily with my mom. I never felt envious of the more cookie cutter-type of vacations, although I’m sure those would have been wonderful, too. But my mom never wanted me to just go to a resort and not leave the property, and think that was all there was to visiting a foreign country. We liked going to Oaxaca, Mexico, and tried to really get an authentic cultural experience.

Q. What has traveling taught you?
A. It really shapes you from a young age and makes you really empathetic of people of whatever culture, wherever they’re from. It made me much more courageous to take myself out of a sheltered bubble. I moved to Argentina at 21 and worked for the U.S. Embassy. And then I went to Madrid. My dad’s a lighting director. Growing up in Hollywood, I was around the entertainment industry all the time. I knew I’d end up in show business in some capacity, eventually. But when I was young, I knew I wanted to try something else. So it was wonderful to be in the foreign services and live in Buenos Aires. I think that kind of life experience can only help in your performance as an actor.

Q. What’s the most important thing you’ve learned from your travels?
A. That you should just go! It doesn’t have to be a fancy or expensive trip. Some of the best trips of my life, I’ve paid for in pennies. When I was a student at Northwestern University, people were doing the quintessentially spring break to Cabo San Lucas. I backpacked with a friend through France and then went to Italy. We nickeled and dimed it, because we wanted to see the world. You gain new friends everywhere. Traveling gives you some perspective of what the rest of the world is like. I think that having the courage to step out of the norm is the most important thing.

American actress Meghan Markle is grateful for her role on legal drama Suits because it is her most high-profile piece of work and a good ol’ fashioned episodic series.

“As an actor, that sounds awful,” says Markle, 31, when asked if she would consider a role on serialised shows such as Lost, as opposed to an episodic drama such as Suits.

She has certainly put in the time, having 10 years of acting under her belt. She started with being in an episode of soap drama General Hospital in 2002 and going on to bit parts in movies such as A Lot Like Love (2005) where she played a “hot girl”.

She says: “The best thing is having job security, right? To be able to know that you’re gonna go back to work the next week. For me, working on something such as Suits is exactly that. I know that I can go back and play.

“I’ve spent lots of years waiting for the right show, and now that I have it, I’m really glad that I can’t get killed off,” she says in a phone interview from Hong Kong recently.

Now in its second season in the United States, Suits sees Markle playing smart and sassy paralegal Rachel Zane, who has unfulfilled dreams of becoming a lawyer.

Rachel is the love interest of Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), who is brought into a prestigious law firm, even though he never went to law school, by sharp litigator Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht).

“I’ve worked for many years before that and played a lot of great characters. One I loved was Amy Jessup, a junior FBI agent, on Fringe. While it was really fun to kick down doors and have all this gun training, I was happy to trade that in for how savvy Rachel Zane is – and her Manolo Blahnik shoes.

“It’s a big transition but playing her has been a huge game-changer for me in my career and I’m so grateful.” Suits, she says, has opened “a very big door for me”.

She adds: “It’s given me a level of recognisability I didn’t have before this. Patrick Adams and I were in a pilot together for a different network about five years ago and it didn’t get past. Now, to be able to get options for my hiatus is a huge change from hoping you get a job.”
