Guestblogger: Abby Yao is a Filipina postgraduate student in London. Though more of a musical theatre fan than a classical music lover, she believes that music is the universal language and finds no inconsistency in listening to both indie and mainstream, world music and bubblegum pop, rock and electronica.

Well, not really…
Based on the characters they have played and/or their interview personalities, I have chosen 10 celebrities who I think would have probably gone backpacking – budget travel style, of course – in Europe had they not become famous:
