| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | My most memorable childhood experience is my trip to Carpathian mountains when I was six. I still remember the awe inspiring cliffs, the rivers and valleys like I was there yesterday. I have always felt a close connection with nature, and that trip was the first time I saw real mountains and nature. It kind of just got me hooked. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | The family member I identify with the most is my maternal grandmother. Out of everyone in my family my grandma was, and still is, the only person I can talk with for hours on end about anything I want without feeling like I am being judged. She is just one of those people who is always there for you when you need her the most. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | What I admire the most in people are intelligence, loyalty, personal accountability, and inner drive to live life to their fullest potential. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | It's hard for me to recall any specific moment because I tend to not hold on to memories too much. If something good is happening I try to enjoy it right there and then, in the moment when it all happens. Once time passes I just let those small memories fade away leaving myself open to new ones. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | If I had a chance I would travel to some deserted tropical island. I haven't been to too many islands, so any would do as long as there is ocean, beach and some inland to explore. I like nature and all I need to relax and enjoy myself are some undisturbed natural landscapes to explore. What could be better than having an ocean breeze surround you while you are exploring? |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | I have kids and I'm trying to teach them to be independent, opinionated, always questioning things, and to be open minded. I want my kids to be themselves and to make decisions for themselves regardless of what everyone else says because after all they are the ones living their lives. |
