Ella interviews Debbie Dragon

Ella McWoof: Well, readers, we listened to you and today we are bringing you another interview requested by you. Everyone in Kinzville who enjoys traveling knows the subject of today’s interview. Debbie Dragon has been sending residents of Kinzville to exotic locales for years. Today we’re going to find out more about Debbie’s travels as well as her other passions.

Debbie Dragon: Hi Ella! I just want to say that I am so honored that your readers wanted to hear more about me!

EM: I think what we all really want to know is how your passion for travel began.

DD: You know, I have always been an avid reader, ever since I was a kid. And some of my favorite stories are those that involve adventures in far off locations. As a young woman I was thrilled to read about some of Arte Fact’s exciting feats and that spurred me to travel myself.

EM: Can you tell us about some of those early travels?

DD: Well, not many in Webkinz World know this, but one of my very first jobs was working as a deckhand on Captain Patches’ ship.

EM: No!

DD: Yes, I traveled all over Webkinz World for a couple of years, exploring all sorts of strange new places. But Captain Patches was no spring chicken and eventually he decided that it was time to retire. I decided that was a good time for me to come back to Kinzville and settle into a career that let me share my love of travel with others.

EM: That is so exciting! Now, you mentioned that you loved to read as a child. I guess that had something to do with your other job as a successful travel writer.

DD: Oh yes! I just devoured books as a child. I still do in fact. Yes, writing for travel magazines allows me to combine my two favorite things – writing and travel.

EM: It’s so great that you are able to make a career of what you love! Now I have five quick-fire questions for you: Favorite food?

DD: Fire-roasted kumquat seaweed wraps, made with a rare type of seaweed that only grows off of a particular tropical island for 3 days every autumn, as long as it’s harvested after a rainy spring.

EM: Ooh! I would love to try that some day! Favorite color?

DD: Blue, the color of the sky and the sea, the gateways to my favorite locations.

EM: Your favorite family member?

DD: Well, I have a wonderful family that I love very much, but it was my father’s love of books that inspired me to read and lead me down the path I find myself on today.

EM: This is going to be a tough one: Favorite place to vacation?

DD: Oh, Ella. I couldn’t possibly choose!

EM: If you had a million KinzCash, you would:

DD: I would offer unlimited free trips to everyone in Kinzville, taking them anywhere they wanted to go, any time they wanted.
