Tell us something unique about yourself and your country.
I am from a small town in Spain called Sant Pere de Torelló.
One unique thing about Spain is that there is a lot of cultural diversity and many different traditions across the country.
Name some popular foods you miss eating from your country.
I really miss tortilla de patatas, croquettes, and jamón serrano.
What are your most cherished traditions and why are they important to you?
One tradition I love is Nochebuena(Christmas Eve). My whole family gathers, we have a big dinner, and it's always full of laughter, music, and way too much food. It's important to me because it's the one time of the year when everyone comes together, no matter how busy life gets.
