Hi my name is Jonathan Mills, I’m 21 years old. I’m originally from Manchester but at the moment I’m studying Public Relations at Southampton University where I have just completed my first year. I like indie music and enjoy socializing with friends, I also enjoy travelling and meeting people from different cultures. I’m really excited about meeting you all and showing you London and think that we’ll have a great time together. I previously spent 18 months working in London before going to University and know all of the best places to go. I’m a keen sports enthusiast and play 6 a-side football for my University. I also enjoy playing cricket in the summer months when the weather is good.

Hello! I'm Mariano Mendez. I'm fifteen years old but I think that you already know it. I live in La Ferrere in Argentina. I moved from my old house about five years ago and now I'm living so far from there. I live with my parents, my two little brothers and my grand-mother, who worries about the journey but she is happy too, as I'm going to travel to Europe, the place where she came from. My mother worries too and she is always reminding me that I have to be careful and I must be educated. As in every school, in my school the teachers are very strict, which is right. However, there is always somebody who breaks the rules and the teachers have to sanction that person. I practise two specific sports in my school, one is gymnastics, (also I could show you what I can do) and the other sport which I really like is football and I'm really excited about visiting Chealsea stadium, Obviously, I want to cross all the UK but I'm very interested in that.
My name is Emanuel Caamaño. I am 15 years old. My birthday is on 22 May and I live in Llavallol, Buenos Aires, Argentina. I go to Euskal Echea College. I live with my parents. I have two older sisters too and they are married. On the weekend we like to have big meals together. I am not very shy, but when I become nervous I shield myself. I don t like to travel by plane so much, but I will make my best effort. I don t have any hobbies, but in my free time I like to play football or play computer games and go out with my friends at night. I don’t like to study so much, and I hate Maths. I am interested in travelling to Ireland and the UK because I want to know their culture and life style, talk to them , laugh with them and visit the beautiful places they have, and I want to have a good time.

My name is Giuliana Maria Pegolo and I'm 15 years old. I live in Canning, Buenos Aires, Argentina with my whole family: my dad, Humberto, my mum, Mariana, my two sisters, Chiara and Agnese, who are 10 and 7 respectively, and my angelic brother,Bruno, who is 13 going on 14. I refer to him as "angelic" because he's special, he's handicapped and very important to me. Oh!I almost forgot to mention my beautiful and lovely dog, Uma. I'm a student, I attend Euskal-Echea, a basque school. Next year I'm finishing highschool and moving forward to university, but the only problem of my "study plan" is that I still don't have a clue of what I'm going to study. Great, isn't it? Well, the thing relies on me liking doing too many things, such as cooking, drawing, dancing, fashion, economics and more, but what I really love are movies and everything asociated with the film industry.Yes, cinema is my real passion, I just adore watching any sort of films and I'm really interested in knowing what happens behind the camera.To talk about sports, I’m really into swimming, I find it very funny and relaxing. I'm interested in travelling to Ireland and the UK because it would be an awesome opportunity to practise my English, since I’m sitting for the FCE international test this year.Also, to get to know at least a little bit of the British culture and ,of course, to visit Europe, an unimaginable dream I had no idea was hidden inside my heart.
My name is Romina, I am 16 years old and I am an only child. My parents are divorced. I live with my mom and I see my dad once a fortnight. I have a dog called Gina and a hamster called Polly. The name of the school I go to is Euskal-Echea and I am in second year in the area of arts. On Wednesdays I attend English lessons. There I learn a lot, I have fun and I make friends. My hobbies are going cycling and walking. I consider myself a bit shy, reliable, sympathetic, generous, polite, honest and sometimes stubborn. The reason why I would like to visit Ireland and UK is because I would like to know new places, because I would like to improve my English and because I would like to meet new people.
