My Favorite Ambassadors Memory
Two girls from our group tried to save a couple of Euros with the automated street bathrooms in Paris. When the person in line before them exited the bathroom, they both jumped in before the door closed. They didn’t realize that the flush wasn’t confined to the toilet bowl – the entire interior was rinsed and sanitized! When the door opened, both girls exited the bathroom dripping wet (but sanitized!).
My Favorite Travel Destination
There is something wonderful about being on a mountain or a beach. It is healing to me. I enjoy being in places where significant historical events occurred. Being where “it all happened” brings perspective and connection to the past.
One Thing I Never Travel Without
A sense of discovery! Your curious energy helps you truly experience the people, places, and cultures you encounter. Arrive ready to learn something new, meet new people, and embrace the unexpected (some of the best travel memories come from the moments you could never have planned). Your efforts to learn about where you visit will also help you learn about you.
