4. Where is the best place you've traveled to and why?
I might not have visited it yet. But I surely LOVED the Big Island of Hawaii – from the summer on the beach to the winter weather up on the top; and the lux greenery on the ocean level to barren forest land that had been burnt down by the volcano – some of the most fascinating scenes packed on that small patch of land in the middle of a huge ocean.

No one was hurt and we acquired knowledge – to me it means the activity was worth pursuing.
