What fictional place or world would you most want to visit and why? It’d have to be Halloweentown. I was obsessed with those movies growing up. I love Halloween, and though the town is spooky and things go wrong, it’s definitely iconic.

What fictional place or world would you most want to visit and why? Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I’ve always been attached to the Harry Potter series since I was a kid. It always gave me somewhere to go to if I was in trouble or having a hard time coping – that was my place to escape everything and it sometimes felt real enough for me.

What fictional place or world would you most want to visit and why? I would visit a relaxing place like Peter Pan’s Neverland! A place where people don’t want to grow up and a place where I can escape my responsibilities temporarily, have superpowers, swim with mermaids, and have Tinker Bell as a friend! That would be a pretty great escape from reality!

What fictional place or world would you most want to visit and why? Oooh, that is a tough choice. I’d probably have to say Hogwarts simply because I would love to practice magic and be friends with Luna Lovegood!

What fictional place or world would you most want to visit and why?
I would most want to visit a world where there is no stigma attached to psychological disorders so I could learn what it takes for a society to reach that point. I would then implement a similar system to eliminate the stigma in our own world so everyone can receive the help and treatment they deserve.

What fictional place or world would you most want to visit and why? I would love to visit the Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. I really like candy and think it makes any day a little brighter to have a piece of candy in it!

What fictional place or world would you most want to visit and why? Neverland! Peter Pan is a really important character to me, and so is the idea of holding onto imagination and youth forever.

What fictional place or world would you most want to visit and why?
The fictional place I would most like to visit is Wonderland from Alice in Wonderland. That was my favorite movie growing up, and I always wanted to join their tea party! Everything is so creative and whimsical!

What fictional place or world would you most want to visit and why? Neverland has been a dream destination of mine since I was little. I love working with kids mostly because I get to embrace my favorite parts of being a kid, and I definitely wish I could never grow up with Peter Pan. And flying with the power of what I call “happy thoughts” and Peter Pan calls faith, trust, and pixie dust is so exciting to me as a kid and an 18-year-old.

What fictional place or world would you most want to visit and why? If I could choose a fictional place to visit I think I’d go to Genovia. You know, the one from Princess Diaries? A quasi-European country dedicated to pears and run by Julie Andrews sounds ideal, honestly.
