Did you know….?

My dream vacation spot is… Somewhere I haven't been before.

When traveling, the thing I miss the most is… Family and Friends.

My favorite meal is… Breakfast. (Donuts)

I never travel without… Beary, my teddy bear.

If I were not an athlete, I would… probably be studying to get my masters.
