Seeing, experiencing, and eating entirely new things and getting to share these experiences with people I care about.
What country and place would you most like to visit and why?
Rio de Janeiro. I've never been to Brazil or even South America, and the place has a real holistic appeal to me. Also, I'm a big soccer fan and I'd love to play with locals on the beach.
What do you hope to accomplish by running the race (other than winning $1 million)?
I think Evan and I, though young, have a serious relationship, and running the race, I'm hoping to learn lots more about her and about us. Also, it'll be an awesome travel experience!

Getting into a car accident or otherwise seriously injured while being far from family and without understanding the medical system.

Israel, as it is so rich with historical and cultural significance.

Despite having only dated for a year and a half, I view my relationship with Henry as a serious one, and would like to learn more about how we function as a team. Additionally, running the race and getting as far as possible would allow me to see the world and have a unique adventure!

Oh, I was SO hoping they didn't lose in this fashion last night after reaching the pit stop in 3rd place. Man, what grit, and thank goodness for goat yoga.
