The Fun Stuff

  • What is your favorite spot in the U.S. to travel to and why?

    • Hawaii. It really is as great as it seems like it's going to be.

  • Which of the five senses do you appreciate the most when you travel and why?

    • Sight, I guess. I want to see so many things and I want to be able to read about the places I visit. And I like to take pictures.

  • Do you have a travel memory that is important to you?

    • My mom and I joined my grandparents on their Hawaiian vacation a few times. They had all their usual haunts and friends there because they had been going every year for so long, so it felt less like being tourists and more like casually hanging out in a neighborhood down the street.

  • What would the name of your biography be?

    • “Bonnie Terrell: Mostly OK”

  • What is your favorite 90s jam?

    • Mariah Carey's "Fantasy”
