JULIA CRUZ: BIOGRAPHYI am Julia Cruz, born and raised in the Philippines since the year 1998. I am the youngest of 3 girls and the only one left still studying in a university. Most of my life I studied in an all girls private school. I took a year of uni in the Philippines then I decided to move and study in the University of Navarra. Growing up in the center of one of Manila’s biggest cities, living in Pamplona has been a big change for me.

WHY I LOVE TO TRAVELFor as long as I remember, my family has constantly loved to travel. My first trip out of the country was when I went to America. It resulted to creating the best memories I have in my life. My mother grew up constantly traveling with her parents like to places like the United States, and places around Asia and has grown to love it. Similar to my mother, my father was also traveling with his family at a young age. He spent a lot of his time constantly going back and forth to Germany because of his father’s Job. Since both of my parents were brought up to love to travel, they decided to let us kids in on the whole experience. My parents always brought us girls along when we would travel. Majority of the time, my mother’s parents would come along in the trips. My mother believes that we should all still travel while we still can. My grandfather who is 80 years old strongly believes this as well so he makes plans to travel to as much places as possible.

Traveling has made a really big impact in my life. There is no doubt that I love and enjoy it. It has just brought a lot of new things into my life. Not only did it bring us cherishable memories and make our bond as a family stronger, but it also helped me learn a lot of things that I can not learn in a classroom. Traveling has made me become a more open minded person. It has also helped me in times when i would need inspiration in my design projects since I would recall the places I have seen in my head and use it to create something new. I love traveling not only because it is a cliche thing that everyone is so into nowadays but because each of my travels has taught me new things about life, art, culture and my family.
