We had the good fortune of connecting with Alejandro Torres and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Alejandro, what habits do you feel play an important role in your life?
Always stay consistent & perseverance with the work you do. That means doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. Success is never linear and won’t happen overnight. If you really want something & be successful at it, you gotta give it your all… always. Repeat it the next day until you achieve your goal. Another thing would be knowing when to take a break. It’s ok to rest for a day, even a week if you’re not in the zone but you gotta make those rest days count and fully focus on just taking that mental break so when you get back to your craft, you can come back and give it your 110%.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I create lifestyle content on TikTok showcasing my life in Los Angeles. One thing I’m proud of is that at some point early this year, I managed to guide a lot of people to the Hollywood sign. I had a video showing the hike and it went viral with over 8.5 million views. It wasn’t always easy for me to get where I’m at. I’ve been on TikTok since 2019 but I’ve been very consistent with putting out videos.
If I could tell the world something about my story, it would be to never give up on your dreams that you’ve had as a child.

I’ve always loved creating content and now I’m doing it in a bigger scale where people tune in and follow me.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
My favorite spot would on top of the Hollywood sign! Anyone that knows me, knows how much I love to hike up there. The view up there is amazing. You get to soak how big LA is. You just stop and think of your life, your dreams and what you want to accomplish in the city.
To eat, Poké2Grill in Downey. That is literally one of my favorite poké spot.
For dessert, you neeeeed to try The Dolly Llama in DTLA.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to shout out to all the amazing people in my life that support me on what I do. That includes my family and the incredible people that follow me and watch every single one of my videos. The ones that always show up when I’m live-streaming on TikTok. The ones that are reading this very sentence. This one’s for you 🙂
