Describe Miami in three words?

Vibrant. Diverse. Enticing.

What do you like best about living in Miami?

By far, my favourite thing about this city is the diversity and the passion by which people live their lives here. On any given day, I’m in contact with people from at least five nationalities and each one will share a part of their culture with me. It’s a perfect melting pot where cultures mix and many times merge into what is considered Miami’s true essence – no-one is a foreigner here, everyone belongs.

New York is one of those cities everyone should visit in their lifetime… Brought up in Queens, NY, Kevin Lee is IT Project Manager in Splendia‘s Barcelona office. We asked him to give us some recommendations on his favourite places to go in this incredible city.

Describe New York in three words.

Energy, bagels, Yankees.

Which is your favourite area of New York and why?

I can easily lose myself for hours wandering the curving streets.
