Anyone in an extreme sport, especially a freefall snowboarder, just to experience the adrenaline most people don't get to experience.
What’s a TV show or movie you can watch over and over?
Hmm I don't get hooked on TV shows or movies where I'd want to watch it over and over again, but I guess the ones where I've watched some re-runs for would be Sex in the City and How I Met Your Mother. I've also watched The Sound of Music and Encanto a handful of times since my daughters love the songs so much.

Italy (or anywhere in Europe!) but my love for pasta, wine, and gelato is calling me towards Italy first.

Dancing Queen by Abba or No Scrubs by TLC
