ADRENALINE ENTHUSIAST

As a child, Didier was cautious, raised by an overprotective mother who instilled a natural fear of the unknown. However, as he grew older, he recognized fear as a barrier to reaching one’s full potential. Determined to overcome it, Didier embraced life’s challenges head-on. Today, he proudly calls himself an adrenaline enthusiast, thriving on the excitement and growth that comes from pushing boundaries.

LIVING AMONG THE GUNA TRIBE

While most of his peers spent spring break 2020 partying in Miami, Didier chose a different path. He ventured to Guna Yala, an indigenous province in northeastern Panama governed by the Guna people. For a week, he immersed himself in their culture, observing centuries-old traditions and gaining a deep appreciation for their way of life.

MOUNTAINS AND GLACIERS

Didier’s father, a rock climbing instructor turned executive for Ternua, one of Spain's leading outdoor clothing brands, passed on a love for the outdoors. Family holidays often meant scaling mountains, hiking glaciers, or canyoning—activities Didier didn’t always enjoy as a child. But as an adult, he has embraced these adventures, finding joy and tranquility in nature’s challenges.
