Miami is definitely my favorite place I've visited. I love sports, especially a variety of sports, I play polocrosse, I do judo, and throughout my childhood I have played countless sports including soccer, rugby, hurling (traditional Irish sport), and more recently did kickboxing, MMA.
Polocrosse is my unique skill as it requires control of a racket while controlling your horse at the same time.
I have traveled to many countries around Europe however they were for holidays. I have been to England many times, Scotland, France (for an international competition so spent time with people from Finland, Germany, Italy, etc.), Spain multiple times, Portugal, Bulgaria, Andorra multiple times, visited the US once before moving here.

Home Country: Bermuda
Languages: English
I have not traveled to many places yet, but my favorite is probably Eleuthera in the Bahamas as it felt like I was home but was still all very new to me.
My favorite activity by far is scuba diving as there is something so peaceful about breathing under water and being able to explore a world that is so alien to us but I also enjoy volleyball.
I don’t really have a favorite food but I guess watermelon is really good my favorite American candy is probably skittles or starburst they are both so good.
My favorite place in campus is the wax as it is just a really nice place to chill out and do some work whether it’s in a classroom late at night or if it’s just outside eat during the day.
My favorite movie and superhero tie into each other as I love Ironman and Ironman 1 was an amazing movie and kickstarted my favorite movie universe. I also love the Flash and Batman as they are consistently amazing characters I’m not quite sure what my dream job is but it has to be something with geography and weather as it’s what interests me most.
That’s should wrap up everything about me really other then my favorite music genera is rap.
