A routine challenge to myself is to keep an open mind and an unwavering sense of adventure. This has ultimately lead to the development of a quite the long bucket list of exotic destinations I want to travel to. People often ask, “why would you want to go there?” and I simply respond with, “well why not?” Relatedly, the older I get, the more I realize that the ‘apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree’ and much of my adventurousness and “always yes” attitude can be attributed to my mother – so who better to travel the globe with?
