I'm from Bogota, Colombia. I always start saying this because I feel it's an important factor in the person I consider myself to be. I love my country and visit it as often as possible. At the same time, I love NYC... I've spent most of my adult life here, it's been my home for 10 years and I feel very lucky to be here.

In people, kindness and humility are most important, in my life, traveling has always been a priority. I love traveling because it reminds me that there are many ways I could live my life and it questions the place where I'm at.

And lastly, I'm 38 years old and live with the love of my life for the past 9 years.
