First of all, is Austin Acres not the best movie star name you’ve ever heard? I met this fine fella on our Italian study tour this past summer and soon realized what an awesome guy he is. When I think of Austin, I think of someone who is super sweet, funny, and adventurous. He is down for anything – karaoke is is specialty. You can also catch him expertly riding around everywhere on his skateboard; just try not to run him over! Austin Acres is adorable, funny, talented, and well-traveled – what more could you want gals?
