One of the best things about being an Aquamaid is the opportunity to travel the world. Whether it's jetting to exotic places like Sao Paulo, Brazil, or visiting other states in the U.S., traveling with your teammates makes for amazing memories. Do you have a favorite travel destination or story from your competition days? We'd love to hear about it in the comments!
