When you have 30 minutes of free-time, how do you pass the time?

What super power would you like to have?

Teleportation. I could go to Japan anytime I want. Yeah!

What is one word you would use to describe yourself as a child?

Naughty☹. One day, my mother locked me out of the house because I had misbehaved. I broke the window to get back in the house.

Elisa Cleeve - SAKG

What characteristic do you most admire in others?

Authenticity…I think it is important to be true to yourself.  I really value someone being genuine and unique, and being comfortable in their own skin. There is power in knowing and becoming your true self.

If you really knew me you’d know… 

That I love to travel and that my favourite place to travel to is somewhere snowy where I can ski. I love being in the mountains and I love how landscapes look with snow on them.  I love skiing with my family, as it is something we all enjoy and can do together, and we can push each other to get out of our comfort zone.

What super power would you most like to have?

I would love to be able to teleport. I could then go anywhere in the world. I could go on a holiday after work and be back in time for bed.

What do you miss most about being a kid?

I miss not having a care in the world and being able to play out in the street with my friends until dark.

When are you the happiest?

I am happiest when I am at my favourite place, Fairhaven. I have been going there my entire life and it is a place where I can spend quality time with my family. It is the one place where I can fully relax.
