Rita Ruud
I'm a horse breeder. I travel around the country visiting horse farms and meeting people along the way. I try never to blend in, but bring my own personality and insight with me. I love seeing different parts of the country, and make my stays memorable by seeing the downtown areas and sampling the restaurants. I try to talk to people in the hotel lobbies, on the streets, and on the horse farms. I love to see the city and country landscaping. I love the country fences and the city berms, the country gravel roads and the four-lane highways.
Winner of TWO 3-night stays at Desires Hotels in New York, Miami, Milwaukee or St. Louis!
Gerry Cameron
I'm an explorer - whether it is at a glacial lagoon in Iceland, a cosmopolitan megatropolis, or a remote village, I look for unique experiences to enhance my knowledge and understanding of the world. My philosophy is to live life and enjoy the moment!
Winner of ONE 3-night stay at Desires Hotels in New York, Miami, Milwaukee or St. Louis!
Daniel Higley
I blog, write, father, love, make music, walk, never take stairs lightly, laugh whenever possible, sing, dance, use a smile instead of my middle finger, practice what I preach, try the best I can, and live with the results.
Congratulations to all entrants, and especially to our 12 finalists. We applaud your unique approach to life!
