R&S

One piece of advice you would give your 18-year-old self:

Daniela

Remain 18. I really wanted to have a job at that point, be responsible and grow up. I do regret it so badly. I should have been a bit less responsible and enjoyed that age by making friends and having fun.

R&S

Your most recent culinary discovery and obsession:

Daniela

Tapioca, I have such an obsession with it that I take it with me everywhere. It is my favorite breakfast. I make a pancake out of it and add turkey breast and ricotta as filling, so yummy.

Your motto in life:

Daniela

Enjoy the journey; you never know where it takes you, so you might as well appreciate the ride, instead of worrying where it will take you. You get to find the most amazing things in life when you get lost. 

R&S

A secret talent we should know about:

Daniela

Multitasking, I can be replying to a very serious email, listening to people’s conversation and also thinking of my next holiday. Sometimes I impress myself. I have also become a professional packer – 40 minutes and I can pack for a weekend away and very rarely leave things behind.

R&S

Your longest lasting friendship:

Daniela

My sister, she has been in my life for 32 years, and she has always been my best friend. I try to work on this friendship to keep it this way forever.
