Q: What's Your Favorite Destination?​

ABBIE SIMON
HEAD OF PRODUCT DESIGN
Q: What's Your Favorite Destination?​
A: My favorite place I’ve ever visited was Muir Woods in California. I’ve never felt so small, and overwhelmed with awe in my life than when standing amongst the Giant Redwood Trees. I hope to visit the park again this upcoming year!
​
Q: What Do You Love Most About Traveling?
A: For me, traveling is all about experiencing the awe of natural wonders. I’d be content sleeping in a tent with only my feet as transportation for a week if it meant being surrounded by the outdoors, and seeing something I hadn’t before.
​

A: "Don’t spend a lifetime waiting until the weekend."
