Hey,
I’m Jeremias a 16 year old german student. I live with my family, which means my father, my mother and my two younger siblings, in Limburg, five minutes away from my school.

I sing in a churchchior for almost 12 years now and play the piano since I was 10. I love music, but I don’t really have a specific music taste. One of my favourite things is going to the gym. I try to go 3-4 times a week but homework and piano practice don’t really let me.

Besides my passion for food and cooking I really enjoy spending time with my friends. My favourite subjects are history and sports and, although I’m not particularly good in it, chemistry.

I am very excited to meet you all and get to know Finland.

Hey,
I’m Philipp, currently 17 years old and one of the students from Germany. I live together with my family, consisting of my mother Katrin, my father Tobias, my younger brother Matthias and my even younger sister Theresa in Dietkirchen (a district of Limburg). We also have a cat called Molly.

I spend most of my time meeting friends doing all kinds of things, just whatever comes up in our minds. Apart from that, I’ve been a scout for 11 years by now. I played the double bass and electric bass since I was 6 years old, but changed to piano 4 months ago. Programming is something I enjoy doing too, even though it can get very complicated and frustrating from time to time. I also work in a covid-test centre to earn a bit more money.

I’m looking forward to meeting you all and think we will have a very fun week! You can add me on Instagram or Snapchat if you want.

Hi, my name is Katharina (as you might have guessed lol). I live in a small town called Mensfelden close to Limburg. I live with my mom, my dad, my little brother (who is taller than me lol) and our dog (Aurelia, a Landseer(big, fluffy, friendly)) and our two cats (Felicitas and Frieda). I´m that kind of person you can find staying longer in school participating in extracurriculars such as orchestra (I have been playing the violin since I was 6 years old- the music that I listen to all the time is mostly music from musicals/Disney, old school rap and pop/acustic music), choir or helping younger students studying. I´m your typical literature and movie geek you can find at the local movie theater in Limburg nearly every weekedn or reading a good book (anything from marvel comics to Shakespeare (literally lol)) or watching a movie (my favorite movies right now: tick, tick,...boom and Spiderman: No way home)) or series at home nice and cozy. My other happy place is our soccer/football pitch in Limburg (VFR 07 Limburg). I train twice a week and have a game nearly every Sunday. I also love playing basketball for fun or go ice skating. I watch sports on TV too (anything from Bundesliga, Premier League, Champions League, NFL, NBA or NHL is fine with me) I love getting to know diffrent cultures and travelling, politics, history and baking as well as cooking. I´m really looking forward to this project and can´t wait to get to know you guys!!!
