What part of your job do you enjoy the most and why?
I do enjoy the traveling part of my job. I get to travel and see places and cultures in a speed that not many people have the privilege to do so. From New York to Tokyo to Rio de Janeiro to London and Madrid, all very beautiful and inspiring places like no other. From food to music and sounds, from hiking to paragliding, to dancing samba to tango, from gelato to donuts, my week can include them all.
If you could give people 3 tips about style, what would they be?
First will be trust the experts (wether that’s your best friend, your mum or the shopping assistant - they know better). Second everyone should own a classic black or navy suit, no questions asked. And last, style is a process, if you don’t challenge yourself to try things out you will never know.

The library was founded by King Philip V of Spain in 1712 as the Palace Public Library. The Royal Letters Patent that he granted, the predecessor of the current legal deposit requirement, made it mandatory for printers to submit a copy of every book printed in Spain to the library. In 1836, the library’s status as Crown property was revoked and ownership was transferred to the Ministry of Governance (Ministerio de la Gobernación). At the same time, it was renamed the Biblioteca Nacional.
