Fine, just came back from hiking in the great outdoors.

Awesome! Do you have any dogs? I have two.

Speaker 1
Sure, but I am trying to eat healthy now and go outside to run, hike, and camp.
Speaker 2
Wow, I wish I were that healthy. I really like them and fries.
Speaker 1
I like to have as much leisure activity as I can so I started going outdoors.
Speaker 2
That's a good idea. I grew up an only child, so outdoors would be a good idea.

Speaker 1
What did you study in France and Spain? Specifically, what was your major that you decided on in those two countries.
Speaker 2
My major was education, languages specifically. I wanted to learn French and Spanish while I was there so I could be a high school language teacher when I returned to the United States. Now I have been teaching for 15 years. I love it! I find it very rewarding.
Speaker 1
That is Amazing. Did you study in Paris?
Speaker 2
Yes, I did study in Paris. And in Spain I studied in Madrid. You mentioned that you studied in California. What did you study? Do you still live there?
Speaker 1
I did study at UCLA. I was a marketing major and moved to New York.
Speaker 2
Oh interesting! Which do you like more (besides the weather) New York or California? 
Speaker 1
I definitely prefer California but had a great opportunity in New York. Where in France would you recommend someone to go to see?
Speaker 2
Paris would be a great place to do many touristy things. The fashion district in Paris is amazing. If you ever get the chance to go during fashion week, it is unreal!

Speaker 1
How was teaching  your class today? I bet it's fun teaching high school students.
Speaker 2
They are a handful, but they are always making it exciting! Being an only child and now feeling like all of these high schoolers are my children is a big change of pace haha!
Speaker 1
Oh how the tables have turned. Do you struggle keeping control of your students?
Speaker 2
Yes, they definitely out number me, but I'll be sad once they all leave. I've actually had a few students mention their top pick for university to be UCLA. Do you have any recommendations I could pass along to them?
Speaker 1
Recommendations in terms of courses that they could study, or in terms of something else?
Speaker 2
Everything! Class & application recommendations, best teachers, best places around campus?
Speaker 1
Yes, I will write-up a document of my experience and some do's and dont's that they may find to be useful. Once I have done that, I will send it over to you so you can distribute it. If there is anything they want to ask specifically, let me know.
Speaker 2
Thank you so much, they will definitely appreciate that. I don't want to take up too much of your time to write it- I know how much you traveling and adventuring. Have you been anywhere new recently?
Speaker 1
It won't take me too long and I could work on it over a week to give your students chance to think of any pressing questions. I haven't been anywhere new recently, but I have booked at trip to Australia for 3 months time, great barrier reef bound.
Speaker 2
How beautiful! That will be quite the adventure. The farthest I've gotten is Eastern Europe, but would love to see Australia. You'll have to tell me the best vacation spots! 
Speaker 1
I already have a list of my favourites that I collated for my blog. I could send you the link to it if you want?
Speaker 2
Please, I'd love to read it! Will your flight leave from New York or stop somewhere on the west coast before flying out of the states?

Speaker 1
I've decided to visit Mexico next week for a month. It will give me some good content for my blog.
Speaker 2
Nice. Will you be staying in one place or moving all around?
Speaker 1
I can't wait!  I'm going to pack in as much as I can and will travel all over.  I'll start on the west coast by the beaches!
Speaker 2
I've never been myself but my cousins have and their pictures looked amazing. Make sure you bring extra chargers and memory cards so you have enough space. Is your blog about travel?
Speaker 1
Oh that's awesome advice, thanks!  Yes and no - I write about travel whenever I can, but there's also a lot about food, lifestyle, and of course coffee.
Speaker 2
Sounds interesting and like it wouldn't be tedious to write since the topics vary.  You'll definitely have a lot of inspiration down in Mexico. A lot of food and culture to choose from. When do you leave?
Speaker 1
I head out next week!  So I'll be running around Mexico for a month, then I'm back here on the east coast for two months, then I head to Australia!  This year is going to rock!  You've travelled a lot, have you made it to Australia yet?
Speaker 2
Not yet but it's on the list. Let me know how many deadly creatures you run into so I'm prepared when I go. How long will you be in Australia?

Speaker 1
Oh, I am so excited to start my journey, but I really worry abut my lovely doggie
Speaker 2
Who is going to watch her or are you going to board her while you are gone?
Speaker 1
I haven't decided yet, but I think I will let her stay with a friend who also loves dogs.
Speaker 2
Is your upcoming trip for work or for pleasure?
Speaker 1
Mostly for pleasure, but I'll try and work a little while I'm there.
Speaker 2
It must be hard to take a vacation when everywhere you go is a great opportunity to feature another story. Is there anywhere you would definitely not consider covering?
Speaker 1
I really love adventure so I'd go pretty much anywhere. How about you, are there any places you would never go?
Speaker 2
Siberia comes to mind. I am not a big fan of the extremes. So no Sahara desert and no Antarctica or the like.
Speaker 1
What about space, would you ever consider going to the moon or Mars if space tourism become possible in your lifetime?
Speaker 2
Not a chance. I have actually contemplated the scenario that if the earth were to explode and my only salvation is a shuttle to Mars or perish, what would I choose? It is honestly a coin flip. I assume you would go?
Speaker 1
Well, it depends on the cost. I'm certainly not a billionaire so unless the price becomes reasonable I don't think I could go.  
Speaker 2
So if cost were not an issue, and it was free, your sense of adventure would overtake you and you would go?
