We caught up with the actor before the release of East of Eden, a Netflix series based on the Steinbeck classic, starring Pugh as Cathy Ames and Christopher Abbott as Adam Trask. In this edition of our Globetrotter series, Pugh debates vacation red flags, remembers her favorite childhood travel memories, and nominates the eighth wonder of the world.
