Favorite Quote: For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again. – Benjamin Button
A fun fact about yourself? I have triple nationality (Peruvian, American and Italian)
If you could have any super power what would it be and why? Being as smart as Tony Stark. I’d try to build iron-man.
What are your interests and activities? I am a huge soccer fan and try to catch any game I can. I have developed a liking for other sports, such as NFL and the NBA, while being here in NY, but soccer is still the main one.
How would you describe your personality and character? Very calm, it is very difficult for me to get angry or too stressed out about anything.
What is your ideal romantic date? Any particular favorite place you would take your girl in NYC? I try to change it up every once in a while since NYC has so many different places to try, but the lower east side is a very cool place to go out.
What are some qualities you look for in a girl? If she makes me laugh she has all my attention. Good taste in music does not hurt either.
What do you think is the most confusing thing girls do? Fight between themselves for reasons no man can ever understand or would consider a reason to fight.
If you could take your girl to any place in the world, where would it be? Rio de Janeiro, and if you have been to Rio you will know why. Best beach city in the world.
What are your future goals and ambitions? Hopefully work in soccer, either in Brazil or somewhere in Continental Europe
