If you could be any fictional character, what character would you be and why?If I could be a fictional character, I would like to be Doc Emmett Brown from “Back to the future” because I admire the story of this character. To have the possibility to travel in time is one of the most recurrent desires and dreams of human beings, I have always appreciated people who work with something related to sciences. Also, I am a lover of history, and it would be insane to have the possibility to travel throughout the different periods of humanity to see all the greatness of humanity.
What you're most looking forward to:What I’m looking forward the most is to have meaningful relationships with all the staff and the campers, and I would like to have a huge positive impact doing my best at work every single day. I'm also looking forward to know a different city, a different camp, and to live an incredible adventure in such amazing atmosphere as Gold Arrow’s atmosphere.

If you could be any fictional character, what character would you be and why?If I had to a fictional character, I would be Super Mario Bros. It reminds me of my childhood, and a lot of moments with my friends in the past. I remember spending all the afternoon with them playing video games, and Mario was the first video game I played. I love the music in the video game, and the meaning of adventure that brings to life.
What you're most looking forward to:There are many things that I’d really love to do and experience at the camp. For instance, to be able to learn from different people, to share experiences and get to know new cultures, but especially to enjoy and make the most of all the moments at the camp.
