Favorite Place: Either Golden Gate Park in San Francisco or Cinque Terre in Italy. I love the expansive park with such an eclectic mix of people and landscape. Cinque Terre is a 7mi. hike through five cities along the coastline of Italy.
Food Weakness: Banana Pudding. I skip everything else and that will be the only item on my plate.
Interesting Fact: I think I can beat anyone in a crab walking race. Try me. I will win.
Favorite Place: Any lake, especially if I'm tubing.
Food Weakness: Kraft macaroni and cheese. I buy it in bulk at the grocery store and normally eat it several times a week.
Interesting Fact: I went on the summer 2013 Give Back(packing) trip and I wish I were still on it.

Favorite Place: There is a grassy meadow high on a coastal cliff in Wales, just outside of an old copper mine. The meadow overlooks a quaint village to the right and the jewel-toned sea to the left. To this day, my favorite childhood memory is running through that knee-high grass and singing "the hills are alive with the sound of music." I must have thought I was in Austria.
Food Weakness: Any type of fruit tart, especially pear. By my tenth birthday I had ditched the concept of a birthday cake, and from then, only accepted birthday fresh fruit tarts.
Interesting Fact: I am unable to lift my right pinky on its own.

Favorite Place: the top of Table Top mountain in Cape Town, South Africa
Food Weakness: Any kind of cheese. Particularly queso.
Interesting Fact: In the same week, I jumped out of a plane, swam with sharks in the same waters where Shark Week is filmed, and bungee jumped off the world's highest commercial bungee bridge.
Favorite Place: Jerusalem Israel. The unique combination of faiths, culture, beliefs and history all combine to form an indescribable city. The contrasts of Muslim, Christian and Jewish cultures is completely fascinating with each group contributing something unique to the city.
Food Weakness: anything spicy or Mexican. I'll put hot sauce on almost anything and will always be craving a burrito
Interesting Fact: I have a goal of visiting all 7 continents before I'm 25

Marc Garofalo
ADVISOR
Favorite Place: Telluride, CO. During college a friend and I took the summer off and traveled across country. When we ran low on funds, we settled in Telluride for several months and worked at the Peaks Resort & Spa. It is the perfect town for the outdoor enthusiast, rich in history and wonderfully laid back.
Food Weakness: Anything my Italian mother prepares. I fast before returning home because I know I am about to binge.
Interesting Fact: I got my diver certification in a swimming pool in Sandy Springs, GA and Lake Lanier. My first dive in the ocean was on the Great Barrier Reef including an 80 foot night dive.
Janice Lin
ADVISOR
Favorite Place: Home (wherever that is), San Francisco (city of the greatest energy in the world), and National Parque Tyrona, Colombia (paradise- look it up and get there!)
Food Weakness: Bagels. I might turn into one.
Interesting Fact: I use to train burly men how to use power tools and fire torches at Home Depot
