I want to visit Death Valley to experience the adventurous landscapes where Native American cultures left their mark 9,000 years ago and to witness the hottest and lowest place in the U.S.
What has been your favorite adventure experience?My favorite adventure was climbing inside the Pyramid of Khufu in Egypt, navigating through steep, narrow, and extremely hot tunnels to reach the King's Chamber at the top. The challenging climb and the awe of standing in this ancient, historic space made it truly unforgettable!
What would you do with $10,000?I would use the winnings to fund more "Emily Expeditions," including a journey to Sumatra to visit the Mentawai tribe, and to the Congo to climb Mount Nyiragongo, spending a night on the edge of its active volcano with one of the world's largest lava lakes.
