If you could be any color crayon (there are at least 120 different colors), what color would you be?  Why?   Burnt Sienna.  Sounds cool.

If you had to stay the night with one animal at the zoo, what animal would you stay with?  Why?  Elephants.  Despite spending time in Asia and Africa, I’ve never been on an elephant ride.  And I need some memory tips.

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?  Why?  Everywhere.  There’s so much variety and I want to see as much as possible.  And I love geography & maps.  And I have a goal to experience as many countries as possible.  Currently at 10 and counting.
