Celina is a business consultant and loves novelties and facing challenges that change her day to day. “The unknown attracts me and there is no way not to be seduced by this.” For her the most important thing is to know she has health, peace of mind and friends. She loves teamwork and her greatest fear is not being able to share her victories. “Nothing should exist in isolation. That goes for both people and facts. Everything should blend – when things work in a disconnected way, it’s a problem.”
We asked Celina how she feels in regards to the economic crisis and she replied that seeing the United States and Europe having to re-think its trajectories while nations like Brazil, China and Russia are developing is very interesting. “Because we have faced various crises in Brazil, it is good to know that the next generations will have more hope and peace. The destabilizing of the great powers forces the other nations to march towards an understanding… This is excellent, as long as we don’t end up arrogant.”
" The future scared us because it was unknown. Twenty years ago, we thought that the world would end in the year 2000. That did not happen. Look at us now . It’s better than it was. I believe wars will continue to exist, but they’ll be small and concentrated…. We’re not talking about world wars or catastrophes".
Talking about the future, Celine also told us her opinion about how her trips and traveling habits may change. She believes that traveling has evolved significantly. Mainly after 9/11, security around the world has become stricter.
Yet, this does not stop Celina from going to places with different cultures where there are no espresso coffees or McDonald’s. She believes that the most interesting thing is to discover the differences of each country. “Why go to Rio de Janeiro the day you find a samba school in Holland?” For her, globalization only mixes flavors but culture of a country is never truly lost. “The essence is not lost, it’s only on the surface.”
She feels that the resorts and hotels in the future will continue as they are today, keeping some local details whilst maintaining the international standards.
As for airlines, her perception is that all the large airlines praise themselves for being excellent. “You have 10 that are very good, but you can’t really tell them apart. I travel by plane a lot and I find it all very boring. There is traffic, there is stress, there is waiting for the plane to take off. But I love airports. I think that airports look more and more like cities: many simultaneous runways, many terminals.”
Be the airline that brings cities and people together.
