Meet Alexa: A Young Professional Living and Working in Mexico City

What is your family like?:

There are five people in my family—my two parents, my mom and dad, my two sisters, and I am the youngest. So, we make up a lovely family of five. I think we are very close and supportive of one another. We may be a small family, but we are definitely very united.

How do you get around?:

Usually, to get to work, I use the metro and sometimes private transportation. If I need to go to other places, I can also take the bus, a larger city bus or a Combi (a shared van). I sometimes use the light rail too, although not very often—it is smaller than the metro. I also use private transportation, like a car. But overall, the metro is what I use the most.

What types of clothing do you like to wear?:

I used to think I did not really have a defined style. I would just wear whatever I liked without thinking too much about it. But lately, people have told me that my style is "romantic", so I looked it up, and I think it is true. I love little ruffles and light colors, though I do not rule out darker colors because they are fun to mix and match. In general, I just wear what I like, and a lot of what I like includes patterns, light colors, little flowers and things like that.

What do you like to do in your free time?:

I really like to read. I love reading, and I could read all day. I also enjoy watching series and movies, spending time with my family and going out. I love walking outdoors, like in the woods. I also enjoy discovering new places. Going out to eat at new restaurants is one of my favorite things to do in my free time. I play tennis too, although I have paused it for now, but it is something I really enjoy.
