my profile

Hey ;-) My name is Laura and I'm 15 years old. I live in Essen, in a flat alone with my mum. I have a little dog, a cat and a hamster, they are really nice pets. I have got a brother (24) and a sister (26). I love travelling (I have been to Spain, Turkey, Egypt, The Netherlands and I hope I will visit the whole world). I normaly use to travel with my sister. I'ts a great feeling for me to get caught up in the maelstrom of big city life. I also like a lot of sports, for example: jogging, cycling.. I'm in a fitnessclub and I spend a lot of time there. Also I like to go out with friends, shopping best. We have a lot of huge shoppingcentres here. Essen was appointed European Capital of Culture for 2010 on behalf of the whole Ruhr Area. We are one of the largest cities in Germany and have a lot of sights here. Well, I'm sure we'll have a great time !!!

Now I'm in grade 10 at school, I will start learning spanish next year. I'm studying english and latin now, but I'm stumped with latin. I'm proud of doing the student exchange. I'm truly greatful. I see it as a chance to meet new people and learn new things :-) I'm looking forward to travalling to Spain....
