Q. What is your favorite vacation destination?
A. It's hard to choose a favorite. I love to travel to different places, especially ones that I haven't been to yet! One of my favorite trips was to Bolivia.
Q. To someone who was going there for the first time, what would you recommend that they do during their visit?
A. My husband and I had such a blast in Bolivia. We went to the salt flats, which were so beautiful, and zip-lined. They had a really long zip-lining course. It was such an adrenaline rush! We also biked "Death Row" (Yungas Road). It was challenging, but worth it and the views are absolutely stunning. It was also fun to stay in the jungle. Every day we would wake up and just enjoy our peaceful surroundings. It was truly a magical place.
Q. What untapped destination should people know about?
A. The Atlas Mountains in Morocco. They don't have many visitors and I was advised to bring some gifts like crayons and notebooks for the local children, since they don't have a lot. It made my day to see smiles on their faces.
Q. What was the first trip you took as a child? And did you love it ... or not so much?
A. My most memorable trip as a child was when my family and I traveled to Sevastopol, Ukraine. We stayed on the beach by the Black Sea. It was definitely the most fun I've had on a vacation with my family. I still have hilarious pictures from that trip that I can look back on.
Q. What's the most important thing you've learned from your travels?
