Rosario Dawson was looking for a change of scenery and a new home, but{nl}couldn’t decide between a couple of different cities. So, she picked{nl}both.{nl}”I’m moving to Vegas and London in the next couple of months,”{nl}the actress and current Los Angeles resident said Thursday at the{nl}Latino Leaders Network luncheon in Washington, D.C., part of the{nl}Hispanic Heritage Awards.{nl}Dawson, 28, who founded a get-out-the-vote organization called{nl}Voto Latino, attended the luncheon with her mother and grandmother.{nl}Afterward, all three were set to jet back to L.A. “They’re going to{nl}help me pack,” Dawson explained.{nl}Why London, first of all?{nl}”It’s an incredible hub,” Dawson explained. “I’m going to be{nl}right next to the Paris train. I love it. I’m a big traveler. I can get{nl}to Rome in two hours. And Scotland and Ireland.” Plus, she added, “I{nl}feel like it’s time to live outside the country.”{nl}Well, not completely outside. Dawson is also drawn to Las{nl}Vegas. “My friend is hooking me up,” she said. “My brother said he{nl}would live out there if I got an apartment.”{nl}But it’s politics, not the party scene, that attracts Dawson{nl}to Sin City. The presidential caucus there has been moved up, she{nl}points out, and is now slotted between Iowa and New Hampshire, giving{nl}it newfound power. “It’s an up-and-coming state!” she says.{nl}Still, no matter how much she travels, or how many cities she lives in, Dawson says she’ll never be that far from family.{nl}”The Latino community is about the family,” she says. “You can{nl}get really lost, and you lose touch. But if you’re with your family,{nl}they can say, ‘Come on, I … changed your diapers.’ “{nl}Wilmer Valderrama, who served as the keynote speaker, joined Dawson at the Latino Leaders Network luncheon.{nl}He told the crowd: “As a fellow Latino and a fellow citizen of{nl}the U.S., it is an incredible pleasure to have a platform to tell you{nl}… you are entitled to reinvent the wheel.”People{nl}{nl}
