A meal composed of many different Spanish tapas—heavy on the produce, meat, bread, and cheese! Rich chocolate soufflé for dessert.

One that involves interacting with people and making a positive contribution to their health, such as medicine or fitness.

Sticking to items and not people: a machete, a sleeping bag that can double as a mosquito net, and a solar-powered satellite phone.

A dolphin. I love the ocean, and dolphins are highly social creatures that form deep connections with each other but are also free-spirited.

What Are We Gonna Eat? One of life’s great questions. People close to me know that I’m often thinking about my next meal!

IF you had a superpower, what would you want it to be?
Time travel!
