If you have unlimited resources, which world problem would you wrestle with?
There is a lot of talk about sustainable construction. However, sustainable construction is not easily achievable due to its high cost. I would make eco-friendly materials more accessible and affordable to all, so that we can actually start affecting change on the environment. Climate change is a tough problem to tackle, but I believe that such efforts will make a difference for generations to come.

Describe the best experience that comes to mind
Visiting Iceland. Everything about Iceland just took my breath away. Managed to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights on the last night there too! Definitely going back there again to experience their midnight sun while driving round the ring road in a camper van.
