We’ve Been Nominated! – Random Facts About Us
Every once in awhile I will get an email that will make my day. The other day I got one from Maria at The Happiness Experiment who wrote to let me know she was nominating me for the Liebster Award – one that recognizes growing blogs. Thanks so much Maria!
Questions she had for us:
1. What makes you happy?
Iona: Dancing and lots of it. Swing dancing and rock n roll…I’m a bit obsessed.
Amy: Food. I have an insatiable appetite.
Mark: Being healthy and getting to see the world again each time I wake up open my eyes is all I need.
Jack: Women, travel, money…in that order.
2. If you were to ditch work tomorrow and could do anything in the world, what would you do?
Iona: I’d be writing, creating Youtube videos and traveling.
Amy: I would go to Europe and eat pasta.
Mark: Go to Bhutan and hang out with some cool people.
Jack: I’d be traveling all around the world which is exactly what I’m doing right now.
3. If you were on your deathbed, what would you most regret not doing?
Iona: Pursuing my passion…and not letting the practicalities of life get in the way of my pursuit. I’d probably regret not taking a leap of faith – career wise. In relationships, I always jump in – sometimes it’s been a great experience and other times it’s been a lesson.
Mark:I’ve always wanted to help build a hospital in the Philippines, where I’m from – people need help over there.
Jack: Not reading the Game of Thrones books. I’d need another lifetime to do what I want to.
4. About that thing you’d most regret not doing, why haven’t you done it yet?
Mark: It takes a lot of time and money to volunteer. It’s actually a middle class privilege. I’m not at that stage financially yet.
Iona: I have no regrets.
5. What is the most spontaneous thing you’ve ever done?
Iona: Quitting my job and booking a one way ticket to Australia. I’d never been there before, had no job lined up. I just packed two bags and left.
Amy: Jumped out of a plane – twice
Mark: One time, as an act of rebellion, I shoplifted a pocket “Connect 4” game which was worth about $1 just to test my boundaries. That was about 2 years ago. I’m 32.
Jack: Traveling with a Swiss woman I had said no more than 10 words to and then I was riding a camel in the Sahara and lying under the tars watching shooting stars.
