Describe your most memorable day:
It is hard to pick the most memorable day... but I guess, If I had to pick one day, it would be the day I dislocated my shoulder in Slovenia and really bonded with Tone for the next 5 hours at the hospital.
Describe your favorite run:
My favorite run was either the Todra Gorge long run or the Mars run, both in Morocco. Feeling so small in the massive canyons was pretty spectacular! I also really enjoyed the Mars run, because I got to say hi to a little nomad girl wandering in the desert and got to give a shepherd an Epic bar.
Your favorite meal?
My favorite meal is hands down the black truffle pasta lunch in Slovenia. I was in a food coma that I could have happily never come out of!
What was your most challenging moment or day?
My last run in Slovenia. Running with a dislocated shoulder for a few miles was both physically and mentally exhausting. Spending a few hours in a Slovenian hospital was interesting too.
Which place or experience exceeded your expectations (or just surprised you)?
EVERY Rogue Expedition trip has exceeded my expectations. I have never once been disappointed.
What’s the most important item that you pack?
Frisbee/Hacky Sack!
