7. What’s the best trip you’ve ever been on and why? — We took a family trip to the Artic in 2024 that was incredible. We traveled in the winter to the city of Kiruna in northern Sweden, plus stops in Stockholm and Copenhagen. My favorite excursion was a snowmobile tour on a frozen lake at night when it was minus 30 degrees. I’ll always remember standing in a place where virtually no one had ever stood before.
