I would likely be an astronaut or a paleontologist. ​

What has been your favorite travel destination and why, or what is a destination you’d really like to experience and why?
My favorite has been a tour to Leavesden because of the delicious butterbeer, but I can’t wait to go to New Zealand so I can visit Middle Earth.
