My dream is to visit Yellowstone National Park. The iconic geysers, like Old Faithful, and the stunning landscapes have always captured my imagination. The chance to hike through its diverse terrain, spot wildlife like bison and elk, and explore its geothermal wonders makes it a top destination for me. There’s something about Yellowstone’s mix of adventure and natural beauty that has always drawn me in, and I hope to experience it in person one day.
What has been your favorite adventure experience?My favorite adventure experience was an unforgettable African safari through Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Zambia. I got to white-water raft the Zambezi River, which was such an adrenaline rush! Camping in the middle of the wildlife was surreal, waking up to the sounds of nature. Exploring Victoria Falls was breathtaking, and seeing incredible wildlife like elephants and lions up close was beyond anything I imagined. It was a once-in-a-lifetime trip that left me in awe of Africa’s beauty and power.
What would you do with $10,000?With $10,000, I’d likely plan a mix of adventure and practicality. First, I'd set aside some for an epic trip to a national park like Yellowstone or explore another bucket-list destination, immersing myself in nature and adventure. I’d also invest in some quality outdoor gear for future adventures. The rest would go toward savings or investing in personal growth, whether through education, creative projects, or supporting long-term financial goals. It would be a balance of fun and smart planning
