1. What’s the last place you traveled to, outside your own home state/country?
State: Washington
Country: Canada (Toronto, Montréal, and Ottawa)

2. What’s the most bizarre/unusual thing that’s ever happened to you while traveling?
Let’s see… I’ve had someone try to sit on my face. It was on the way back from Ireland in 1998 and we were on the leg of the flight from Chicago to San Francisco. I was *really* sick with what turned into walking pneumonia two weeks later and asked the stewardess politely to re-seat me so I’d be on an aisle. There were some rows in the middle of the plane that were empty, so I lay across one. I awakened three hours later to find a drunk guy about to sit down on my head. I screamed and the stewardess escorted him back to his seat. My mom came back and sat with me for the rest of the flight.

3. If you could take off to anywhere, money and time being no object, where would you go?
Seattle, my grandparents’ cabin in British Columbia, backpacking across Europe, studying Islam in Egypt, Israel, India, Korea,….

4. Do you prefer traveling by plane, train or car?
For the sake of quickness, I prefer plane. I’m also still working on getting my driver’s license.

5. What’s the next place on your list to visit?
Los Angeles next weekend. I get to see my mommy and my daddy and my twin brother and my sister-in-law and my parents-in-law and my friend Brian. (Yes… I do know that I could have eliminated all of those ands and just used commas. Deal with it.)
