Where are you from?

I was born in Pamplona, but I have lived almost half of my life in Perth, Western Australia.

What do you miss most about your home? 

What I miss most about Australia is the wilderness! Not just the unique wildlife (kangaroos, kookaburras, etc), but all the beautiful native plants, the amazing landscapes and the sunsets!!! Oh, the sunsets…

Do you have any hobbies?

Yes! Probably too many! I LOVE spending time with friends and family, going on adventures (hiking, climbing, snorkelling, you name it!), I also love music and anything to do with it (singing, dancing…). I am an aerialist, which means that I love hanging upside down in the air, mainly off a trapeze. My latest love: Yoga, I am currently finishing a course to become a yoga instructor.

What’s your favourite Spanish food?

Anything cooked by my mum or any other abuelas out there!

What do you like about living in Pamplona?

The atmosphere, the folklore, the food and how little it is, the fact that just by driving for 10 minutes you can simply be in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by nature is priceless!

What’s your favourite book? 

I’m an absolute lover of kids’ literature, especially anything written by the one and only Dr. Seuss.

What was your favourite game when you were a kid? 

Anything that involved running around freely outside with friends (hide and seek, chasey…)

What was your favourite TV programme when you were a kid?

Pippi Longstockings and Punky Brewster, my childhood idols!
