Hi. My name’s Greg, and I’m originally from Denver, Colorado,

but my family moved to Arizona when I was about 3, so I grew
up there. I graduated from high school about three years ago,
and I am currently attending a university in my city. I’m a junior,
and I am majoring in economics with a minor in Spanish. I also
work part time as a cashier at a grocery store. Life is really busy,
but I enjoy hiking, reading, and hanging out with friends in my
free time. When I graduate, I want to work for a company in this
area.

 My Profile
About me
By day I’m a regular guy and by night a superhero … How tiring is that?! Just joking!
I’m a regular guy all the time, good job, close to my family, and with a cat. Actually,
my cat thinks I’m a hero because I saved her from the street. I’m a talkative person
and I believe communication is the most important thing in a relationship.

Likes and dislikes

I love pizza if it’s Italian, wine if it’s white, and football if it’s the World Cup. I read a
lot, especially true-life stories, but most of my books live on my phone.

Hobbies
I love to travel and I’m always planning my next trip. I prefer an active holiday like
swimming or playing sports. I get bored at the beach. I post lots of photos on
Instagram as I’m a good photographer.
Tips for a successful personal profile
1. Mention your good points, not your bad points.
2. Don’t include every single thing. Choose a few points
and focus on them.
3. Don’t add your contact details (e.g. address, phone
number). You could get unwanted messages.
4. Check your spelling and punctuation before you post.
5. You can use punctuation and emojis when you’re
joking, e.g. ?! 

Fact Funny thing

I prefer active holidays. My cat thinks I’m a superhero.
