1. Where would you most like to live?
I’m still young so I would prefer to live in a vibrant and lively city with lots of cultural events and nightlife.
2. Would you like to have a large house?
Having a large house is not a top priority for me at this stage in life, as I prefer to focus on building my career, and enjoying my social life. So, it makes more sense to live in an apartment nearer the city centre. I might want one in the future though, when I start a family.
3. What is your ideal job?
One of my main aspirations is to move abroad so I’d love to be able to work remotely and travel as I work. I’d also jump at the chance to work in an English speaking country so I could perfect my English skills.
4. Do you want to earn a lot of money in the future?
Of course, who wouldn’t want to? But, it’s not the only important factor in job satisfaction. I also prioritise finding a job that really interests me, and ideally has a positive impact on the world too.
5. Would you like to work abroad?
Working abroad would be really exciting, and I think it would give me the chance to develop both my career and personally. However, I realise there would be some sacrifices too, such as being away from family and friends for a long time.
6. What would you most like to do on holiday?
Well, some of the places on my bucket list are Bali, Peru, Costa Rica, and Japan. I’d be thrilled to spend some time in any of these destinations.
7. Would you like to travel first class on a plane?
I’ve never set myself the goal and to be honest it seems like a waste of money. I’d rather travel business class and save my money for more important things.
8. What would you do if you were given a large amount of money by a relative?
If I was lucky enough to receive or inherit a large amount of money from a relative, I think I’d invest it, either in property or in the stock market, depending on how much money it was.
