Alyssa
As an avid horse rider, Alyssa would love to travel somewhere with mountains to go horse riding, somewhere like Montana. She also has a fondness for Icelandic horses and it would make her happy to see them someday. Given 24 hours with anyone, her choice is to spend it with someone from ancient history; specifically someone from a time and place we don’t have very well documented. She thinks it would be an interesting perspective to ask them what life was really like for people back then?
Alyssa’s advice would be to stop worrying about what other people think of you. In the end it doesn’t matter and there will always be people who don’t like you.

Bryce
After speaking with Brodie, my sister and I left Barnes and Noble and walked around the rest of the mall for a while. Half an hour later we walked very slowly back to Barnes and Noble when I saw Bryce dressed in a super cool outift. If he were able to visit anywhere in the world he would love to visit Seoul, South Korea or Japan and would happily spend 24 hours with his fiancée.
The advice he would give to his younger self is not worry about moving backwards sometimes; It’s important to have faith that things will work out eventually no matter how long it takes or how winding the path is to get there. He loves working with music and has a cool idea for a story about twins and how their lives differ in an effort to reach the same destination.

Brodie
I saw Brodie’s purple shoes as I was walking around Barnes and Noble and I thought they were the coolest things ever. After saying hello he enthusiastically agreed to be a part of the project! He would love to visit Papua New Guinea someday and is very interested in world history and linguistics. Brodie would love to travel around the world and is very interested in learning foreign languages of the countries he wants to travel to before he visits them.
If he could spend 24 hours with anyone it would be his father and his advice to his younger self would be to take his time and think through things more.

Gwen
The first stranger I asked rejected me. Pushing past that, I kept walking and saw Gwen sitting on her own at a table in the nursing center. I walked past nervously, then a few seconds later turned around and walked back to introduce myself. She had amazing tattoos on her arms and long orange hair reminding me of a druid from D&D.
Gwen has been many places around the world, but if she could go anywhere, she would love to travel to New Zealand. If she could visit anyone it would be her father overseas in England. He’s getting on in years and she doesn’t know when or if she’ll be able to see him again?
If she could give any advice to her younger self, it would be to trust her own perspective. She’s taken a lot of advice from other people that has led her on paths she didn’t want to go down. She’s learned that her own judgment is the most important thing to trust when making decisions about her own life.
