Violet, because I like it and I think it has a positive and powerful energy. It also reminds me of the jacaranda trees we have in Buenos Aires during the spring.

Pizza with champagne and ice cream.

Loyal, patient and empathetic.

Because I like to share my culture with the world, to learn about other cultures and meet people from many countries. Besides, they give me unforgettable moments.
If you could learn to do something new, what would you choose?
I’m fascinated by languages, so I would like to learn others. I had the opportunity to learn some German for two years a while ago, so I would like to pick it up again at some point.
