What excites you most about traveling? The adventure
What country and place would you most like to visit and why? All. I can't think of any place I don't want to go.
What do you hope to accomplish by running the Race with your partner (other than winning one million bucks)? A great adventure.

What scares you most about traveling? Getting lost.
What excites you most about traveling? Seeing breathtaking scenery and new places I have never been before.
What country and place would you most like to visit and why? I have always wanted to visit Australia and dive the Great Barrier Reef. I prefer tropical climates but I'm up for anything!
What do you hope to accomplish by running the Race with your partner (other than winning one million bucks)? I hope to not be the first team out, see places in the world we have never seen before, and strengthen our marriage even more with new exciting experiences and challenges.
Who do you think will be your biggest competition: Racers, Houseguests, or Castaways? Our biggest competition will most definitely be the Racers. There is a learning curve to running the Race and returnees have the advantage, no question!
Do you think Survivor prepared you for The Amazing Race? Do you think you learned anything on Survivor that will help you on the Race? Surviving 21 days in the jungle on Survivor empowered the s**t out of me! Survivor taught me to expect the unexpected. I feel like I can conquer any challenge reality TV or life throws my way.
