If you had to live on an RV or sailboat for the rest of your life, which would it be?

"A sailboat, or any boat in general. My family grew up with a boat and being "on the water" is where I feel the most at peace. During the summer, we actually lived on our boat and "sailed" from one marina to the next in the New York and New England area where we were able to see many different towns and boating communities. The sea air is freeing and calming. From a young age, my parents have instilled the importance of boating and water safety. Swimming and boating lessons were a necessity if we were to be on the water as a family. Being on the water isn't just an activity, it is an experience and to this day, brings me so much excitement. I also love boating because I know that this is an activity that Jackie also loves, as her family has generations of fisherman. Although we do not have a boat now, we hope to carry on our families boating traditions. We still enjoy water activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and just sitting at the beach, enjoying the sun and waves." - Caroline

If you had to live on an RV or sailboat for the rest of your life, which would it be?

"I would choose to live on a sailboat. First of all, since the Earth's surface is covered significantly more by water than by land, there are more places to go. Even parts of the land are accessible by ports and rivers." - Alex

My philosophy on parenting is...

"Positive discipline, I've been studying it since 2013 and sharing it with families and I really love how guides children with love and empathy and at the same time it allow emotional conection with parents. I've seen and guide families to enjoy their parenthood and I would love that to my own family" - Lorena Jiménez

My favorite place in the World is...

"Philadelphia. Whenever I’m coming back from being out of town and first see the city skyline, I feel an immediate sense of being home. If I had to pick somewhere I don’t live, I’d say Galway, Ireland, specifically around Christmas. Everyone is so cheerful and welcoming - Sam and I talk about going back all the time!" - Bob
