Can you tell us a bit about yourself? We'd really like to get to know you better <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span> </STRONG></P> <P> </P> <DIV class="p-rich_text_section">Hi, I’m Susan, I’m from Bogota, Colombia and I’ve been working at Spotify for a little over 5 years now. What can I tell you about myself? I love watching movies, and drawing, and one of my favorite things to do at the moment is skateboarding. Just cruising with some tunes on. It feels so refreshing and takes my mind off things for a while. I love Rubik's cubes so I have a bunch of them and I’ve been really into dystopian histories lately. I don’t believe in astrology whatsoever, but it seems so important to people nowadays, so I’m an Aquarius, just in case haha.</DIV> <P> </P> <P><STRONG data-stringify-type="bold">Skateboarding while listening to music definitely sounds relieving <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":smiling_face_with_sunglasses:">😎</span> So, what kind of music are you into and what are your favorite artists?</STRONG></P> <P> </P> <DIV class="p-rich_text_section">I’ve always thought my music taste is very basic. I listen mostly to rock (classic, alternative, indie...). Some of my favorite bands are Radiohead, Muse, and Incubus. And I've been listening to a lot of Sticky Fingers and Joy Division lately. Thom Yorke and Damon Albarn are some of my favs. Oh, and for some reason, I always enjoy and pay a lot of attention to the bass in all the music I listen to.</DIV> <P> </P> <P><STRONG data-stringify-type="bold">Cool, bass is often underrated. What's the most memorable trip or vacation you've been on and why?</STRONG></P> <P> </P> <DIV class="p-rich_text_section">I haven’t traveled a lot, but I definitely want to. Some of my favorite places to visit were ‘El Tayrona’ in Santa Marta and ‘Múcura Island’. I believe having a good time depends on how you’re feeling and who you’re with (even if I’m by myself).‘Life is a complex mixture of ephemeral and interminable things, and one needs to identify them clearly in order to have a happy life.’ I read this somewhere and it expresses what I’m trying to say to perfection.</DIV> <P> </P> <P><STRONG data-stringify-type="bold">That's an interesting quote. Based on that thought, what would you like to learn or try the most?</STRONG></P> <P> </P> <DIV class="p-rich_text_section">I always want to learn something new. Right now I’m trying to improve my painting skills and Japanese level. And I’d really like to try parachuting.</DIV> <DIV class="p-rich_text_section"> </DIV> <P><STRONG data-stringify-type="bold">If you could have a conversation with any animal, which one would you choose and what would you ask? Also, we'd like to know if you have any pets that you want to show off to us <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:">😊</span></STRONG></P> <P> </P> <DIV class="p-rich_text_section">I live with my cat, her name is Ramona and I’d definitely like to have a conversation with her. Also, sea creatures in general. Just knowing what life feels like down there in their own words, would be cool.</DIV> <DIV class="p-rich_text_section"> </DIV> <DIV class="p-rich_text_section"><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Ramona.jpg" style="width: 391px;"><img src="https://community.spotify.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/159730i7A3344B3CC249CC7/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999" role="button" title="Ramona.jpg" alt="Ramona.jpg" /></span></DIV> <P> </P> <P><STRONG data-stringify-type="bold">Aww <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":smiling_face_with_heart_eyes:">😍</span> She's such a beauty! Changing to one of the hottest topics in the Community (food), if you could have a personal chef create any meal for you right now, what would you request?</STRONG></P> <P> </P> <DIV class="p-rich_text_section">I love spicy food and lately I’ve been craving some really nice tacos. So I’d have them make me some good Tacos al pastor, Tacos de birria… with some good habanero sauce, of course.</DIV> <P> </P> <P><STRONG data-stringify-type="bold">Before you go, are there any songs or playlists you've been enjoying lately that you want to share with us?</STRONG></P> <P> </P> <DIV class="p-rich_text_section">I’m always adding new stuff to my library and giving love to old stuff I haven’t listened to in a while.
