What was your favorite place you have traveled and why?
Anywhere in Washington or Oregon. I love the combination of evergreen forests, mountains, and the ocean coastline. I take a trip out there almost every year to explore and go hiking. A few of my favorite places thus far are the North Cascades, Olympic National Park, Mount Saint Helen, and the coastline.

What’s the best advice you’ve heard and why?
“If you always do what you always did, you’ll always get what you always got.” I firmly believe that life is a matter of perspective, but if you wish something were different, you are the only person with the power to change it.
