I`m Daria, I have brown long hair and brown eyes with a little green in them. I`m currently 5´4 feet tall and have pretty light skin. I´ll probably be a little shy if you get to know me at first but after a while it gets better. I love to talk (sometimes I also talk a little too much) about things I and others like and about feelings. I would say I am a nice person or at least I`m always trying to be the nicest possible in the situation. I`m a pretty funny and open girl with the right friends. Sometimes I can also be very lazy or tired but that is the point where I just need some time for myself. Unfortunately, I can also quickly get angry if someone says or does something I don`t like, well but hopefully that won´t cause a lot of trouble. I took dancing classes for 6 years, which has also become one of my favourite activities and I believe I was pretty good at it too, but sadly I had to stop dancing because some of the people in my dance group said mean things about me behind my back so that I didn`t feel comfortable anymore. I`m currently hoping to find a new dance group so I can carry out my talent again. Sometimes I also write letters to myself to express my feelings and let go of the pressure I and probably a lot of people have kept in themselves, that`s why I also really like to read poetry books. I`m looking forward to finding a lot of new friends on my exchange year and to trying out new things while having a lot of fun and I hope it will just be a refreshing pause from the life in Germany, even though I really like my familiy and friends here but maybe I can find myself and more things I`m passionate about or like. In addition to that I also really look forward to meeting my host family and I hope we will get along well and have as much fun as possible together.

I have brown eyes and curly brown hair that arrive only a little past my shoulders. I think my physique is average, maybe more on the taller side. I would say that I am a very cheerful and considerate person. I enjoy sharing time with other people and talking about a variety of things but i also like to have some “me” time to think about everything that happened during the day and organizing my thoughts while also scheduling my next day. I can be quiet at first but once you get to know me I just don’t shut up. It actually got a lot better now than when I was younger as I became a lot more extroverted and way less shy and reserved. I do believe that adaptable is an adjective that fit me very well, in fact even if I am out of context it doesn’t take me long to adapt and fit in. Maybe this is also why at first I don’t express myself much and I tend to understand the context I am in before entering it completely. This also allows me to blend in perfectly and make me a lot more confident about what I say and how I act. I am kind of athletic, I practice swimming daily for around two hours each day and I also like other sports and activities but I don’t really like running. I think it is one of the few activities that I don’t enjoy doing unless I am doing it with someone else. I also spend a lot of time listening to music and singing and, if I have some time playing the piano. Music is an important part of my life, I started playing the piano when I was four years old (I also started swimming at this age, it is kind of strange how I started both at the same time and I still enjoy both. I also tried many other activities but they did not last long for different reasons) and I have been singing ever since I can remember. My friends always laugh whenever a song starts and they catch me humming to it, they say that it is a thing I always do although I never notice it. Languages have also been very important in my life. My mom knows many languages and growing up with her I also started to love them. I also decided to study in a “linguistico” high school (it is a school where you can choose to study English and two other foreign languages of your choice between the ones offered by the school) just to continue to learn them at school. At first, I did not like English but after meeting my middle school’s English teacher this changed completely, it is now my favorite language and I want to be able to speak it every day both now and in the future. This is the main reason I decided to start this journey and stay a year in the USA as an exchange student. This will also be an opportunity for myself to grow, by living in a country far from my family and a place where I do not know perfectly the language I will become more responsible and independent. I will also be able to meet people whose culture and habits are not the same and learn from them. I also want to know more about American traditions and customs and experience them firsthand.

I am a friendly, open, helpful and sportive person. I hate fights so I try to avoid them as much as possible. I really don’t like to break rules too. That’s why, sometimes, my friends call me a fun killer (which doesn’t mean I don’t like to have fun. People can absolutely have fun with me). The good thing is people who are around me trust me. I am a very ambitious character as well, so when there is something on my mind, I do everything which is in my power to make it happen. Sometimes I am insecure about myself, but not when I talk to new people. So, I am definitely not shy. Just for you to know. It is not easy for me, to write down so many (positive) things (about me), because I really don’t like conceited people and I don’t want to sound like one. I am playing soccer in a girls team, I dance, I like to work out, I do gymnastics at home as well, I love hanging out with my friends even though I don’t have much time for them, I like to cook and bake and I love listening to music. That are some of my hobbies recently. I really hope I have some new ones when I am back!

In my free time I like to read very much, because when I read, I can switch into another world, with fairies or princesses and princes. I love to read fantasy books that also contain a love story. I just can clean my head with reading because I can forget the stuff that is going on, like in school or something. To read also gave me a inspiration and motivation to write my own stories, and I´m working on one right now. I also love to play and cuddle with my cats. I am rather a quiet person and often need some time to get used to new things. When I get used to it, I am open and also curious to learn new things, to meet new people. I enjoy doing things with people or talking to them and yet sometimes I need time for myself. I am happy to meet new people and to experience what it is like to go to school in America.

I think he would also describe me as calm and respectful. When there are disputes, I always try to settle things. I almost never get angry and I always think before talking about something I would regret. At least they would probably say that I am a responsible person but who can laugh at everything. Indeed, I love to make jokes and I don’t like when things get too serious. But I always pay attention to my friends and when I have to I know how to be serious.

Hi, I am Hannah and these are my interests. I have been playing tennis for 6 years. Tennis is my absolut favorite sport. And to keep me in shape I also do workouts and go for runs and walks with my dog. Besides tennis I was also used to do horse riding, but I paused one year ago. I also really like to bake. I have done big cakes for birthdays and so much more. And if there is time left I draw. For example sketches of buildings and people. All in all I like to be creative, sporty and to meet my friends. But I also like to be by myself, listen to music or do nothing and just relax.

Hi, my name is Hannah. I am fifteen years old, and I really look forward to going on exchange! I would describe myself as curious, sporty and creative. I enjoy being around my friends and spending time with them. But as much as that I love to experience new things and that is why going on exchange is for me the right thing to do. Tennis is my sport. I have been playing tennis since I was eight years old and love it! I could not imagine quitting it! I spend a lot of time at the tennis club and have a lot of fun with my friends there. I would be very happy if I could continue to play tennis during my exchange year. But I also go for runs and workout. But as much as I love activities, I also love the quiet and calm moments. For example, I spend a lot of time with my dog in the woods, which calms me down. Or I relax in my room by myself, listening to music or drawing meanwhile. I draw portraits of people or animals. Once I tried to draw my dog "Blue", but I also design and create new stuff, like houses or interior design such as furniture. Architecture fascinates me, and I could really imagine becoming an architect one day. In addition, I enjoy baking and like to surprise my family with a birthday cake. Besides I love roller coasters and fun parks in general. Action and thriller movies are my favourites. Basically, I eat everything, but I don’t like olives and licoricey. Since I like activities, I would like to have a host family who is also interested in activities. But most important to me is a friendly and warm family and a comfortable environment in which I can find new friends. I hope you could get a slight idea of me -:)

I think I am a very charismatic and extroverted person, I love to be surrounded by people, whether they're my friends or my family. I also enjoy spending time alone and reading, which is my favorite hobby. At school, I'm considered a really good student, and my classmates always ask me to help them with the homework or to help them understand things before an important test, which is something I like because I enjoy helping people a lot. I love to read and I spend a good amount of my time reading fantasy books, and there are even times when I love a book so much that I can't wait until they are translated into Spanish so I just buy them in English. In addition to reading I also love to watch movies, with my family at home or with my friends at the theater, my favorite movie genre is horror, but I also adore going to the theater to watch the latest Marvel movie. Another thing a like doing is listening to music, which is something I mainly do while I walk my dog, my favorite artists are Taylor Swift and Arctic Monkeys and I love the band so much that I went all the way from Madrid to Lisbon with my dad so I could see them live, which was probably one of the best experiences of my life. The thing I look forward to the most is meeting new people and a new family and experiencing life in a different country, like the USA that I have been seeing in movies since I was little.

When you get ask to describe yourself it is always a hard question because you have to reflect yourself, what you do and how you act in different situations. For me it is really important to do this because so you know what you maybe have to chance. I am a person who have to try out many things because so I know what I like. How do you know what you are want to study or what person do you want to be. For example I only can say I don’t want to live in the USA if I did it before or I can say I do not like this food when I ate it before. It is the same with my hobbies, I do many things like athletics, ballet, dancing and vaulting. Vaulting ( it’s like do gymnastics on a horse, if you do not know ) I did eight years but then I want to do something different. Now I am swimming every Thursday in a club, I feel so free in the water so I think it is fantastic. I chanced my hair colour and my hair cut the the last years often, because at some point I feel I need something different ( now I have brown hair, maybe I am blond again when we meet). I also decorate my room new or organise my things different when I want something new. I love it when things are organised and I have an overview about everything. In my free time I love singing and dancing alone or with my friends it is really funny. Meeting my friends is a thing I prefer a lot so I hope I will make friends in my exchange. I also love the nature, when the sun is shining and I am going for a walk with my brother in the woods. I enjoy little things like when the sun is shining in my room in the morning. Some days I just want to lay in my bed and relax and watch TV and I thing I have a mix of everything in my life. I am a crazy and funny person but I am also calm and patient and I am really excited to meet my host family in the USA.

My hobbies are baking/cooking, singing, and spending time with my friends. But I love so many things equally. I love music, I listen to it anytime I can and I love watching movies/tv shows, my fav are all marvel movies, stranger things, greys anatomy, euphoria and so much more! I also like sports, my fav since I’m a little child is definitely swimming, but I also like to play volleyball or basketball, I sometimes play it with my brother. But one of my fav hobbies ever is decorating, I love being creative and sometimes I wanna buy all the stuff at ikea and decorate a whole apartment by myself. And traveling ofc, I love getting to know new places and cultures and one day I wanna do a whole world tour :) But I’m a person who loves trying new stuff and I’m always open for new things!

I would describe myself as an open, honest, polite, lovely and very sweet person, I like to explore new things and I’m kind to really everyone. I’m very ambitious with things I wanna achieve wether it‘s school, my future career or trying to cook a new dish. I’m to be honest a really messy person but I love to clean. I care a lot and always listen to people and try to be there for them, I’m very empathetic, my mom tells me this all the time, I can put myself in peoples shoes and understand what’s going on. I’m also very sleepy, I like to take naps after school. My hobbies that I do regularly at the moment are singing and dogschool, I do singing now for 3 years, not in a choir tho, it’s only me and my singing teacher, I always loved singing so much but I wasn’t really the best in it, so I started taking lessons and I’ve actually just performed in front of people a couple of weeks ago for the first time which I was really nervous about because I usually don’t feel comfortable yet singing in front of other people, I’m not a professional singer and I also don’t plan on being one, but I love singing with my heart and I will never stop with that. Dogschool I do now for already 7 years, I do it with my dog, her name is cosy and she’s now 9 years old and I kinda grew up with her, we have a really strong relationship, she’s like a little sister to me, and I love her so so much, I really do everything with her. But I also have hobbies like cooking/baking or meeting friends, baking/cooking was also something I always loved to do, especially baking, I love to try new recipes or decorating cakes afterwards, I don’t know what I love so much about it but it’s just something that I’m actually good in and just have so much fun doing it. And I also really really love to watch movies/tv shows, especially action or sci-fi movies, my fav movies are the marvel movies. The most I look forward about doing an exchange is firstly getting to know a new country, but also to go to a Highschool, getting to know a new family, new friends hopefully, new people in general, new food and new traditions, and seeing the difference between 2 countries.

I’m a very athletic person. I did competitive cheerleading for nearly five years but due to an accident I had to quit at the beginning of this year. I had a severe elbow injury but I’m fully recovered now. Furthermore I love skiing with my family, which I do every year around Christmas time. I’ve also played the piano since I was seven years old. Besides that, I really enjoy spending time with my friends and family, and with our dog Sammy. When I have nothing else to do, I like baking different things, like cookies or cupcakes, while watching movies or tv shows. What makes me very happy as well is traveling. My parents started to travel with me and my older sister from a very young age, so I’ve already had the chance to visit many beautiful countries all over the world.

I think I'm a very extroverted person, I always speak out loud and laugh etc. but sometimes I also feel very judged. I care a lot about other people's opinions and I am very sensitive. When I feel safe, accepted and not bullied at all I'm a very loud, funny, happy and open person who wants to explore life. I love to read, listen to music, watch my favourite series or to go horseback riding at my stable. I used to do gymnastics (professional training) and still love it but didn't have enough time for it so I just do it at home in my free time. Additionally I teach other younger children gymnastics. I also like to play the cello, meet my friends to chill, hang out or to party and to get to know new sympathetic people. Ultimately I'm looking forward to my exchange year to do exactly what I mentioned. Further I'd like to get out of Germany, and its forced conditions that are meant to be perfect. I would like to start a completely new chapter in my life and to explore more life than I always used to know, to set other priorities. I'm also exited to get to know my new family which will be a part of my life for one year and to experience another culture, of course.

I think that I’m a hardworking, responsible, intelligent and very affectionate person. I’m really organized and very exigent, especially with myself.

Along my time abroad, apart from improving my english and getting to know the culture, I would like to learn to live more independently, solve problems and manage my day to day without my parent’s help. My family from there won’t have the same mores as my country and will live in a different way, so one of my purposes is to open my mind and learn to adapt myself. Besides, in my opinion, living abroad for a while will give me a much broader view of the world, since I will make friends from differents countries and I will realize that I don’t have to be in Spain in the future, there are more odds outside. As well, I believe it’s a way of living new experiencies that I wouldn’t live here. Finally, one of the things that makes me feel more excited is the possibility of having a family apart from mine.
