HC: What is a perfect date like for you?
I am a food lover, so going to a nice restaurant for diner and having a cuddling night would be it.
HC: What’s your favorite thing about uncw so far?
All the great people I have got to meet while I am here. I made a lot of good friendships that I will never forget about regardless of which part of the world I find myself.
HC: What’s been your most awkward moment at uncw so far?
The First time I met my roommate in my junior year he did not know I was gay, so he would always try to introduce all type of girls at any party we went to. The awkward moment came when I had to tell him “Jake, I don’t like any of them, and I never will…”
HC: Celebrity crush?
Emma Watson. Isn’t she perfect?
HC: If you could have dinner with one person, dead or alive, real or imaginant, who would it be?
It would be my great-granddad. Even though he is still alive, he has alzheimer and he does not recognize anyone anymore. I would just love to talk to him again as I used to.
HC: Hobbies?
I love swimming, working, working out, reading and traveling. That’s what my life is about. I am a European traveler.
HC: Favorite Quote?
“Von nichts kommt nichts,” which in German means, from nothing comes nothing. It reminds me that if you have a goal you need to work for it, it will not just happen unless you make it happen.
HC: What’s been your favorite thing about America so far?
Not being able to drink until I was 21. Just kidding. I love how this country is built in a great mixture and variety of cultures and races. Also, I love all the geographic areas for tourism that America has; I need a couple more years to to see them all.
HC: If you were a Disney Princess, who would you be and why?
Sleeping Beauty. Why? I am from Spain, we love “siestas.” That character seems like a perfect match for me.
