Dear family, I am super excited to live this experience and enjoy it to the fullest.

My name is Claudia. I am 15 years old and I am from Spain. I live in Madrid, I live with my parents and my sister who is 17 years old and she was also an exchange student. I love spending time with my grandparents and enjoying it to the fullest. With my family I love to travel and we have been to places like New York and Rome, in the future I would love to go to Chicago is one of my dreams.

I love going out with my friends and we have a great time, especially we go shopping since it is something that we all love and many times eat sushi. Sushi is my favorite food and I love to eat it. Also many times we meet and watch a movie in the house of one of my friends. At school I love the subject of music because normally it is playing instruments and I have a great time. I also like biology a lot since it is something that I find super interesting and I learn a lot.

My favorite series is Gossip Girl and I could see it a hundred times without getting tired. Gossip Girl is in New York and New York is my favorite city. In the future I would love to live there.

Every summer I spend it on a island in Spain called Ibiza and I love to go, always one day we take a boat and it is a super cool experience, we also go to Alicante which is on the coast of Spain and it is one of my favorite places because I go with my grandparents and I see my friends that I only see them once a year.

I really want to see everything that American culture can bring me and I also teach you things about Spanish culture that may interest all of you.

I am looking forward to thanksgiving and I see how American Christmas is like since they are much more different than the Spanish ones.

To finish I want to thank you for opening the doors of your house and letting me live this experience.

Yours sincerely,

Claudia
