| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | One of my most memorable childhood experiences was traveling with my family to my father's work camp in a more natural, rural area. I remember going fishing, swimming, and learning from everything around me. Being close to nature made me feel curious and alive. I can still picture my parents dancing together and my mother teaching and caring for me and my brother with so much love and patience. There’s much more I could share, but even just this memory reminds me of how my values were shaped—through family, simplicity, and connection to the world around me. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | I closely identify with my mother. Not only do we share a physical resemblance, but I also relate to her in values, way of thinking, and emotional presence. She’s always been a thoughtful, curious, and strong person—someone who challenges herself to grow, and I believe I inherited that spirit. While I apply those qualities in a more modern and globalized context, I clearly see her influence in the way I learn, make decisions, and face challenges. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | This is a complex question for me, because I see myself as someone with a broad and evolving personality. At this stage in my life, I work with many different qualities—sometimes I lead with one trait, and other times I rely on another, depending on the moment and context. I admire people who have that same flexibility and depth. That said, I truly admire traits like authenticity, emotional intelligence, and integrity—people who are honest with themselves and others, who are self-aware, and who strive to grow while staying grounded in their values. I also respect resilience, the quiet strength to face challenges and keep moving forward, and humility, which allows someone to stay open to learning without needing to prove anything. More than perfection, I admire the human ability to reflect, to adapt, and to pursue meaningful things with intention. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | That’s a tough question—not because nothing funny has happened to me, but because so many things have. I find joy and humor in everyday life, and I tend to smile and laugh easily. It’s hard to choose one single funniest moment because my life has been full of little stories, awkward situations, unexpected surprises, and spontaneous laughs. Rather than one big event, I think the funniest part of my life is how often I find something to laugh about, sometimes with friends, sometimes alone, and sometimes just at how strange or unpredictable life can be. I may not have “the funniest moment ever,” but I do live with a sense of humor that makes the journey more enjoyable. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | Even now, I make it a point to travel every year—it's part of how I grow and stay inspired. But if time and money weren’t an issue, I would go see the Northern Lights, a natural phenomenon that reminds me of how small and magical the world can be. I would also love to eat my way through Peru, a country rich in flavor, culture, and history. And finally, I’d go back to dive in the Caribbean coast of Colombia, where the sea feels like a different kind of freedom. Each of these places speaks to a different part of me: awe, curiosity, and connection with nature and culture. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | If I ever have children, I would want to pass on life skills that truly belong to them—tools that help them face the world on their own terms. I’m already working on developing those qualities in myself so that one day, I can share them from experience, not just words. I’d want them to become the kind of people who make life less hostile—first for themselves, then for others. Life is a miracle, and even with its challenges, it’s worth living fully. I’d want them to understand that meaning doesn’t always come from grand achievements, but often from simple moments shared with others. Living with awareness, kindness, and presence would be the greatest legacy I could hope to offer. |
