Hello everyone! My name is Maria, and as the sound of it suggests, I’m from Italy, that lovely and picturesque country that both foreigners and Italians, recognize in the unique shape of a boot.

Hey, my name is Klara! I am 16 years old and from Germany. I live with my parents and my older brother, he is 18 years old, in Hanover. In my spare time I like to play Field hockey and clarinet or just meet my friends. My brother did his year abroad two years ago…
