This month we ask some fun questions to Juncal Andres, Front Office Manager at Hilton Bahrain. Juncal is quite the woman of the world, with a fun side to her go-getter personality. Her personal and professional experiences have made her the person that she is today, and she continues evolving into her best version every day.
What is the biggest life lesson that your job has taught you?
Definitely being resilient. Working with Hilton for six years has created the leader in me. Each day is an opportunity to learn something new. Being put through different situations every time, I learn, evolve, get stronger and my goal gets clearer. It may sound exhausting but it’s actually quite fun. I love the challenge and I am so amazed at how women are slowly but steadily rising to leadership.
Which place comes to mind when you hear the word travel?
Texas! I experienced different cultures, cuisines and I loved it during my stay there!
What is the best thing about being a woman?
I just love how women are strong and soft at the same time, how we are nurturing and yet firm leaders. On a lighter note, fashion and cosmetics are definitely some of the perks.
What’s the unusual thing in your bag?
I always need to bring a small notebook with me wherever I go to take notes in case an idea hit me. It is my piece of personal treasure.
Which famous personality would you have over for dinner, and why?
Rihanna. She’s an amazing artist and an even better entrepreneur!
Which is your favourite spot in Bahrain?
Busaiteen Corniche for the sunset
Bags or shoes?
Definitely bags, they are my guilty pleasure and occupy most of my wardrobe!
Which is your favourite statement piece of clothing?
I love jackets, they can spice up any outfit.
Are you a home-body?or an out-and-about girl?
I’m a home-body. Good food, my couch and Netflix is the perfect chill-time formula for me. Otherwise, I like spending time with friends in a lounge.
What creeps you out?
Insects, even the smallest fly!
