How would you describe yourself in 3 words?
Tallish and charismatic.
What do you look for in a girl?
Genuineness.
What’s your biggest turn-off in a girl?
The opposite of genuineness: pretence.
Describe your perfect date…
Having lived in Spain, where you can have a great meal for a reasonable price, I love going out to eat. My ideal date, then, would probably be going out somewhere (Côte, Carluccios or Harry’s in Exeter) and sharing a bottle of wine, which, if I’m choosing, would probably be red.
Who’s your celebrity role model and why?
I’ve been re-watching Band of Brothers and Homeland recently, so, bearing that in mind, I would say Damian Lewis. After seeing him play small parts on television when I was younger, it’s nice to see him have such success.
Who’s your celebrity crush?
At the moment, Sofía Vergara.
If you could travel anywhere in the world right now, where would it be and why?
Madrid, unsurprisingly. I had such a great time there. If you told me I had to go back today, I wouldn’t hesitate in doing so.
What’s your worst fear?
Waking up to find my room covered with copies of Exeposé.
Favourite pizza topping?
When I’m tired, hungover and hungry: a Dominos meat-feast. (I’m salivating just thinking about it.)
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
If everything goes to plan (I get a 2:1 this year, in other words) I’d like to be working for a newspaper or a media organisation as a Spanish correspondent. If that doesn’t happen, I’ll just endeavour to be the next J.K. Rowling.
One piece of advice to HCX readers on how to win your heart….
Read The Tab, of course.
Nothing like a bit of self-promotion from a Campus Cutie!
