FUNNY FACTS/ FAVORITE PLACE

Jessica is a bit of a daredevil and loves adventurous activities like bungee jumping in Costa Rica, skydiving in San Diego, white water rafting in Thailand, and mountain motorbike riding in Vietnam—often convincing her husband to join her shenanigans with just enough enthusiasm (and minimal details) to get him on board.
