Getting to see new places, cultures and do different things that I would never get to do in my life.

We are both very hard-headed and Daniel does not have much common sense, so we argue a good bit but always remain friends.

He picks his nose in public a lot (seriously) and he never wears a belt (back out, crack out).

Australia seems very nice with cool animals.
What do you hope to accomplish by running The Race (other than winning one million bucks)?
I obviously hope to win the million dollars. It could make a huge difference in our lives.
