What was your favorite place you have traveled and why?
I studied abroad in college and experienced many amazing places, but Barcelona, Spain, was my favorite and has remained so over the years. I loved the people, food, and architecture of Barcelona, and the energy along Las Ramblas is incomparable. I can’t wait to go back some day and see more of Spain.
If you could pick up a new skill in an instant, what would it be and why?
Singing. I’ve always wished I could kill it at karaoke…or at least move beyond my family making fun of my singing around the house!
