Judith Samper-Alberos

Hola, me llamo Judith.

Soy española y mucha honra.

Well, maybe you want me to talk in English, right?

I don't know.

Maybe you can understand me better.

All right, so before telling you my story, I need to tell you a little bit about my culture.

I'm from Spain, so I'm gonna let you know how the Spaniards are.

The Spaniards, we love to get things for free.

The more we can get, the better.

Just imagine you have,

a bowl of candies, and the spinner will get one.

for themselves and one for the cousin, one for the father, the sister, the daughter, for all the whole family.

If there is nobody in the room, they will take all the candy and the ball because it will look amazing in the living room.

Well, when I was 25, I was an art student in London and I was broke.

As you can imagine, paying rent or paying for food, it was a struggle.

And...

certainly was paying for transport.

One day I was waiting for my bus at the stop and I was looking at my bus pass and thinking, this will be so easy to falsify.

You know, like I'm an artist, I can't do things.

So I was thinking, oh my God, I can't do this with my eyes closed.
