Meryem from Iskenderun /Turkey(Travelling to Portugal)

My name is Meryem Sağır. I’m 17 years old. I have got one brother whose name is Armağan and a little sister whose name is Leydi. My father works abroad and my mother is a housewife. We live in İskenderun, in a small lovely town in the south of Turkey.

I’m a successful student of İstiklal Makzume High School :) I love Physics and Maths. Because it’s like a puzzle and you need to use your mind wisely. And it is the one of the best things that I do. I also like drawing pictures and doing oil painting. It rests my soul. Everytime I use the colours I invent a piece of my personality in the ways which I draw. And here you can have an idea about my horoscope’s specialities :P (Fish)

By the way I play tennis (not professionally) and my favorite tennis player is Rafael Nadal. I also love NBA, I enjoy watching basketball. My favorite basketball team and player are Los Angeles Lakers and Kobe Bryant. I’m a huge fan of Bradley James (Especially his role in Merlin). I think he’s very charismatic. Recently I always advise my friends to watch Abiding Citizen, I think it’s a masterpiece. Because of the exciting, unexpected scenes… and I wanna end this paragraph talking about my pleasure of listening music. Especially I love the style of Madonna, Mariah Carey, Avril Lavigne and Shakira.

I’m cheerful and lovely. I’m an honest person, I tell my thoughts without hurting anybody. I’m not very good at expressing my feelings but I’m not a closed box of course!!! Anyway you decide what a kind of person I am when we met :)

My height is 175 cm. I’m thin and people say that I’m a wellbuilt young girl :) My hair is wavy, its colour is the same as my eyes’. I mean brown.

I have some plans about my future like everyone has. I can’t say that I’m a determined person because other people can influence me with their ideas. But at the moment I wanna be an architect because as I said before I like drawing. I’m interested in decorating and creating new things. I believe I’ll be happy in this job in the future…

I attend this project, because I heard that’s a social project and people from all around the world are united by this project. And as I’m a social person I thought that I have to be a member of this project. I hope we’ll meet soon :)

Hi! My name is Maciek. I’m fifteen years old and I come from Zabrze in Poland. I was living here until I was nine, then I moved to Sweden for four years, when I was thirteen I moved back to Poland.

Zabrze isn’t a big city and there is not much to see here, but there are many forests and parks which make that there are many things to do.

I like extreme sports like paintball, ASG, bungee jumping and BMX crossing ( it means that I jump BMX in forest and on dirt surface ). I do it because it’s funny and gives me adrenalin. I like all things which imperf with military and I bind my future with this interest. My favourite kind of music is Hard Rock, Metal, nu metal and alternative metal, my favorite bands are for example System of a down, P.O.D. and Ramstein.

Oliwia, travelling to Italy, about herself

Hello everyone!

My name is Oliwia and I'm from Zabrze in Poland! I have lived here since I was born in 1995, so I'm 16 years old.

Zabrze is not a big place, there's not a lot of famous objects, but I still love this city with all my heart! I live here with my parents and one sister in a flat. There are 3 rooms and it's a great place for chilling when I need it, but I haven't got much free time to do it :) No, I don't learn all the time! Of course, sometimes I have to do some homework, but I think every student has much more interesting things to do :)

I play volleyball in the school team and it is my favourite sport! I like taking photos very much! I bind my future with this interest. Music always has accompanied me. My favourite kind of music? All kinds ! Every kind has got really great singers and songs, for example Bruno Mars - Grenade or Laurent Wolf- No stress!

Everybody is different in other ways and I think that's amazing! It makes me more open for meeting "new people", I really enjoy meeting them, so I am very happy that I can participate in this project.

I hope to see you soon in Italy!

Greetings from Poland!
