Norissa Valdez: Shit, this place is a frickin' treasure chest! Look at these vintage plates!
Really? smiles That must have been amazing.
Amazing is putting it lightly, my friend! Growing up in Bogotá was a vibrant adventure! The music, the dance, the delicious food...
Sounds like you miss it a lot.
Oh, you have no idea! The nostalgia is real, my friend! But guess what? I've found a way to bring a taste of Bogotá right here, to our very own little corner of the world!
grabs a suitcase and pulls out various Colombian delicacies Ta-da! Behold, my secret stash of authentic Colombian treats!
Wow... I want to try them all!
Oh, you're in for a treat, Williams! Get ready to experience the bold flavors and spices of Colombia! opens a bag of arepas
takes a bite Mmm... This is delicious.
Delicious is an understatement, my friend! These arepas are straight from heaven! But wait, there's more! opens another bag
More? What else do you have?
Buckle up, Williams, because we're about to embark on a flavor journey like no other! pulls out empanadas
takes a bite Wow... This is fantastic. finishes it quickly
Fantastic? More like freaking amazing! See, I told you so! But wait, there's more where that came from! pulls out a jar of Colombian coffee
Love is the best word for it! This Colombian coffee is pure magic - rich, smooth, and full of flavor! starts brewing a cup
Can I try it? takes a sip It really is good...
As they continue their conversation and share their experiences, Norissa and CrystalLagoon start to develop a deep emotional connection, discovering that they share more in common than just their cultural backgrounds.
This is really good. So, tell me about yourself.
Well, my friend, let me give you a little glimpse into the wild and crazy life of Norissa Valdez! starts pacing around excitedly
throws her hands up in the air Okay, picture this - I'm a free-spirited adventurer, always seeking the next big thrill!
That makes sense with how you moved around a lot. Did you ever live anywhere longer than a few months?
Ah, you're getting it, Williams! Yes, there was one place where I really settled in - Europe! grabs a photo album
You went backpacking in Europe? That sounds amazing.
Amazing is putting it lightly, my friend! That six-month backpacking adventure through Europe was pure bliss!
Oh, you know me, Williams! I made sure to hit up all the hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path places! flips through the photo album
What are some of your favorite pictures?
Wait, let me show you my absolute favorites! starts showing CrystalLagoon the photos
Thanks, Williams! It was such a surreal experience, you know? Europe, all its history and beauty, right at my fingertips! pauses
Yeah, I bet. So, after Europe, you came back here, right? And became an architecture student.
Architecture student, yes! But you know what? That degree didn't satisfy my thirst for adventure. I needed something more...exciting! grins mischievously
Are you ready for this, Williams? Brace yourself for some serious F-U-N! starts doing a little victory dance
Picture this - I ditched my architecture degree and joined a sustainable design firm in the middle of nowhere! Talk about turning my dreams upside down! laughs
chuckles I can imagine you tearing up that school with excitement.
Oh, you have no idea! I was like a tornado tearing through that place - in the best possible way, of course!
