PERSONAL PRESENTATION. ELLA HARTWEGER

Personal presentation:
Hi!
My name is Ella Hartweger. I'm 14 years old and my birthday is the 24th of April.
I was born in Vienna (hahaha!) but when I was 3 years old we moved to Barcelona. I don't really know Vienna, last time I went there is about 4 years ago and only for 2 days. So that's the reason why I want to do this exchange.

I'm not very tall and I'm thin. My hair is blond, long and straight. My eyes are brown. I'm sporty, so I like many kinds of sports. I love to dance, actually I'm doing street dance. I also love listen to music and meet my friends. I play the guitar.
I like travelling, my father works every year in a different country (like Mexico, Caribbean or Maldives Islands) so I travel a lot.
I don't like arrogant neither selfish people.
I HATE to wake up early and be stressed.

I live in the Poble Sec district in Barcelona. At home we are 5: my mum -Maria-, her partner -Chris- (the father of my little sister Marilú), my brother -Karli- (13), my sister -Marilú (3) and me.
I also have a rabbit -Irmi-.
We speak german at home ;)



After school I’m doing 2 activities:
-Wednesday --> street dance
-Thursday --> horse riding

I expect this exchange to be a very cool experience. Travel to Vienna for one week, living in our partner's house MUST be a good experience. I also hope to know Vienna a little bit more. :)
