My favorite vacation spot isn't a place on land, but a cruise ship balcony. Being out on the open ocean, the sight and sound of the waves bring a sense of profound calm. It’s in this quiet beauty that I feel most centered and, at the same time, find inspiration to be more creative.
What is your favorite movie of all time?
Kill Bill: Volumes 1 & 2 are hands-down my all-time favorite films. I must have watched them at least ten times, and I still can't see a single clip without stopping everything to re-watch the entire movie.
For me, it's a masterclass in stylized filmmaking where more is more, making the film an absolute feast for the eyes. The fight scenes are a perfect blend of artistic choreography and exhilarating action, but what truly elevates the experience is the soundtrack, a masterful and unforgettable mix of genres.
Where’s the next place on your travel bucket list and why?
Even though I just returned from Italy, I'm already eager to go back. I'm not sure if it's a past-life connection, but there's something deep in my heart that calls me to this land. It's a place that has it all: a diverse landscape, incredible food, and a beautiful appreciation for a slower, more intentional pace of life.
What's your favorite season and why?
Growing up in New York, I've always loved summer. I have so many memories tied to the season, from cooling off in an open fire hydrant as a kid to late nights at the clubs. I even remember those early morning hours, getting breakfast after a night of dancing and running around the city. All these memories have one thing in common: the beautiful weather of a summer night.
What's one thing that can instantly make your day better?
Laughter, especially the kind that brings tears to your eyes, can instantly make my day better. At heart, I'm a joyous person who loves people and wants to make them feel happy and carefree. I think it's part of my Dominican culture to enjoy cracking jokes and being friendly. When I'm feeling down, a good joke or a funny reel can immediately change my mood.
