My Most Memorable Travel Moment
I know my answer is technically cheating, but I can’t pick just one favorite moment. My top five include standing on top of Maya ruins in Belize overlooking the vast jungle, flying over Victoria Falls, seeing cheetah for the first time, snorkeling at the Belize Barrier Reef and watching an African sunset while bouncing in the back of a safari vehicle.
My Most Embarrassing Travel Moment
I have a few embarrassing travel moments! A week after I graduated college, I was sitting in an exit row on an airplane. My “new adult” ego was definitely deflated when the stewardess stopped her safety briefing to verify that I was over the required age of 15. Also, on a game drive in South Africa, I saw a black and white blur racing through the grass next to the vehicle. Not wanting to miss the animal, I cried, “skunk!” (forgetting that skunks don’t live in Africa). When the vehicle stopped, I realized it was definitely not a skunk, but rather a honey badger. At least the rest of my vehicle found it entertaining!
My Favorite Meal While Traveling
Fruit, bread and desserts top my list no matter where I travel. From a breakfast of fresh watermelon juice and sweet rolls in Central America to dinners of bushbuck kabobs and malva pudding in South Africa, I’ve been spoiled with delicious meals.
