Enjoy the read!   [member="H"]: What is something you think everyone should do at least once in their lives? [member="Ruwk"]: Travel somewhere new. Especially to a place with a very different culture.   [member="H"]: Is there a memory on Alora that you will never forget about? [member="Ruwk"]: Quite a lot of amazing memories that come to mind, but getting farming pet at 5k XP was pretty crazy!   [member="H"]: If given the chance to go anywhere in the world, where would you go and why? [member="Ruwk"]: There are so many places on my bucket list. But the one place I've always wanted to go the most was Iceland. I want to experience their hikes and waterfalls, natural hot springs, and most importantly the northern lights.   [member="H"]: If you were given the chance to make your one wish come true, what would it be? [member="Ruwk"]: That everyone in the world could be happy and healthy. No war, no hunger, no disease. We all deserve to enjoy this one chance at life.   [member="H"]: What do you do in your spare time apart from play Alora? [member="Ruwk"]: I work a lot so spare time is limited. In most of my spare time I play video games with my wife. But aside from that, when the weather is nice, I enjoy hiking and camping. Additionally, I enjoy cooking, going to the gym, and spending times with friends/family.   Next up is [member="Kopjeekoffie"]   [member="H"]: What is something you think everyone should do at least once in their lives? [member="Kopjeekoffie"]: enjoying the food in a Michelin star restaurant, it is incredible enjoyment, the flavors, the wine, the passion that goes into it and tasted is incredible   [member="H"]: Is there a memory on Alora that you will never forget about? [member="Kopjeekoffie"]: there are many, I think I have been playing on Alora for over 6 years... I think my last gamble game was that I made it from 7b to 450b and had 0b within 2 weeks... but the best thing of all is that you still don't know people know and yet build a band with people you play with and also the people who still play that I know from 6 years ago.   [member="H"]: If given the chance to go anywhere in the world, where would you go and why? [member="Kopjeekoffie"]: I would like to go to Norway, I think... I have never been there, but the landscape really appeals to me and you can get many things from nature to cook with, which I think is great   [member="H"]: If you were given the chance to make your one wish come true, what would it be? [member="Kopjeekoffie"]: 2 things... a healthy life, I am healthy as far as possible but some hiccups here and there... and I would like to have my own business as a chef and then obtain a Michelin star.   [member="H"]: What do you do in your spare time apart from play Alora? [member="Kopjeekoffie"]: cooking - taking things from nature to incorporate into cooking - ice hockey every week - just doing the normal things with friends such as drinking wine, eating out and enjoying life... and of course not forgetting my girlfriend plays a major role in my life !
