In her leisure time, Javiera enjoys connecting with nature, especially the sea, interacting with humans by having a small chat in the local store, smiling at people. She likes visiting exhibitions and getting creative, filming the built environment to observe people’s behaviours, and spontaneously strolling through the city to find hidden gems.
