Describe your ideal situation once you’ve hit your goal. (Example: I’ve always loved the idea of living in the Caribbean during the winter and returning to Cambridge in the summer. Ideally, I’ll work half the year in Cambridge and the take the winter months off and use them to build my photography portfolio. Or… I’m a solo traveler. My friends and family don’t want to travel with me so I’d like travel writing to give me an excuse to go somewhere and a means to afford an upgrade).
We know it’s tough, but try to limit your answer to just a few sentences.
