On the Euro trip, I hiked a volcano on an island about three hours off the coast of Portugal.

If you could learn to do anything, what would it be?

If you could meet anyone, dead or alive, who would it be?  

Having a beer with Luke Combs would be pretty awesome. 

What animal best describes your style of play? 

Someone tweeted during the PLL Championship Series that I run like a giraffe on roller skates, so I’m going to have to go with giraffe.
