I am not a big outdoors kind of guy, but I think the annual migration of the Monarch butterfly from Canada to Central Mexico is crazy. They travel 3,000 miles around September and October. I would love to do some ecotourism in one of the sanctuaries.”

“I would love to finally get to South Africa. I’m a huge nature lover and have had the privilege of doing safaris in Kenya and Tanzania. December is one of the best times to go enjoy the beaches because it’s summer there…and very cold here!”
