What job would you do in an alternative universe?
“I think an architect! I’ve always liked design, and architecture is something I love a lot. It’s fantastic to be able to travel so often and see all the different architectures of every country. I find it very inspiring!”

What are you doing these days? Are you relaxing, we hope?
“This is the only time of the year when I can spend a lot of time at home, so I’m enjoying it! I’m relaxing, but also training a lot to prepare for the next season! Unfortunately, yesterday I also had to go to the dentist, so I’ll spend this weekend recovering.”

When you travel, what do you miss most about home?
“Probably my piano! Music relaxes me a lot and helps me disconnect. I started playing the piano only during the pandemic, but now it’s something I really love! Every time I’m away from home, I miss it a lot!
