visit the coastline with his friends almost every weekend. Although he spent a significant amount of time near the ocean he never liked seafood. He lived and
grew up in a city most of his life; however, he always preferred spending more time in the countryside because he enjoys hiking. His other hobbies include watching horror films, playing soccer and listening to a wide variety of German, Spanish and English music.
Most of his family lives in Toronto, Canada and Seattle; and he moved to the U.S. around 8 years ago.

He is currently trying to obtain a double major in psychology and archaeology. His interests in psychology include neuroscience, development and clinical counseling.
