What is your most profound experience while being away from home?

We visited the Great Wall of China with an incredible girl from Beijing, who took us to a section of the wall that is rarely visited by tourists. It was an almost magical experience, being completely alone in a place where solitude is rare in China. Afterwards, she welcomed us into her home, where her mother prepared an amazing meal—the best food I’ve ever had!

What is your most special connection you have made while being away from home?

While traveling through Colombia, we met two wonderful English doctors. We ended up spending the next six weeks traveling together as friends, and to this day, we continue to stay connected—visiting each other, attending weddings, and building our families together.

What is your dream?

Building a better world for my children to grow up in, proving that we—and the generations before us—can clean up the mess we’ve made!
