Hello my name is Bo Roeland. I am a 15 year old boy from the Netherlands. I live in Noordwijk, a village near the coast of the Netherlands. I live with my mom: Stefanie, my dad: Remco and with my sister: Noa. My parents both speak Spanish so don't worry about communicating with them. They look forward to speaking Spanish with you and welcoming you in our home. In my free time I go to the gym, I really like to work out, and play games. I also like to meet up with friends. I play soccer. I am tall and like to joke around, I'm a positive guy. In the future I want to travel around the world and make money online from my laptop. I am really looking forward to the exchange.

Hi! I’m Jasmijn and I’m 15. I live in Noordwijkerhout. My parents are divorced, so I have two homes. At my mums, we live with 7!: my mom, stepdad, sister (17), stepsisters (13 & 12) and my stepbrother (7). I’m at my mums from Monday till Wednesday and alternating weekends. We also have 4 cats 

I’m at my dad’s on Thursdays and Fridays and alternating weekends. At my dad’s it’s just my dad, my sister and me.

I’m in year 4 at Leeuwenhorst and in my free time I play hockey, I train 2 times a week and on Saturdays we always have a match. Next to that I go to the gym 2 times a week as well.

I like doing fun things with my friends and to try new things.

Starting out, I might seem shy, but once I’m comfortable I’m very social and like to make jokes and talk.

I don’t have any allergies and eat basically everything, except fish (blegh).

I’m interested in sports and law for studies after Leeuwenhorst.

With this exchange I hope to achieve getting better at English, making new friends and learning about Spanish language and culture. I’ve been on vacation to Spain before!

I look forward to seeing you in November!! See you soon!!

Helloooo, I’m Mirre ten Hoopen. I’m 14 years old and my birthday is on November 10th. So when i’m in Spain, I’ll be turning 15🥳. I live in Noordwijkerhout, which is in the same town as the school. I live with my parents and my 13 year old little brother. Unfortunately, we don’t have any pets.

I’m in the 4th year of pre-university education (4 vwo). I have very active hobbies; I enjoy surfing, mountain biking and playing hockey. I also like drawing, playing piano and reading. I play hockey four times a week.

I’m very sociable, spontaneous, enthusiastic and open to new experiences and people. Sometimes, I can be a bit chaotic or stubborn;) In the future, I really want to become a veterinarian!

I hope that this exchange will help me become more independent since I’ll have to take responsibility for myself. I’m also excited about learning more about the culture and what daily life is like there compared to here. And, of course, I hope to make wonderful memories and new friends!

Hi I'm Rami, 15 and I live in the Netherlands in a town called Noordwijkerhout. I go to school there as well.

At home  I have 2 big brothers and 1 little sister and I live with my parents. I'm a cool guy, but have to admit I am scared of dogs. I am in year 4 at Teylingen College, Leeuwenhorst, where I follow classes and hang out with my friends. I really like watching football and playing football and in my spare time I also do a little bit of gaming. I am very social and quite noisy, but you can tell me when I'm too much (I respect honesty).

I only eat halal meat/chicken (I can eat fish though, although I don't really like it), so I probably won't be able to eat meat/chicken during my time in Spain (If I can, YAY).

In the future I am gonna win with Holland in the Football World Cup.

With this exchange I hope to broaden my perspective on the world and learn more about other cultures.

The thing I look forward to the most is to experience something new.

Hi my name is Isa. I am 15 years old and I live in Sassenheim, a small town in the Netherlands. I live with my parents and my brother. I also have 2 bunnies called Puck and Mickey. I’m a family person. I can be calm when I have to but I can also be active. I enjoy little moments of life. My school is in Noordwijkerhout. That's about 25 minutes with my bike and 15 minutes with the car. At school I still have Spanish class so I understand a few things but I'm not great at it. When I am bored I like to draw. Most of the time I'm too busy with sports and school so I don’t have much time to draw. I love sports. I play “korfbal” it's a Dutch sport and it looks a bit like basketball. I have no allergies but I don’t really like fish. In the future I want to travel around the world. What I hope to gain from this exchange is friendship and knowledge of how people in other countries live their lives and maybe even learn more Spanish. I’m excited to meet new people and take a look at how their lives are. I'm looking forward to going to Spain and meeting you. I'm really excited.

I also have instagram: isavanlochem

Helloooo, I’m Wende-Frederique Geurens (but everyone says Wende!!). I am 15 years old and live in Noordwijk. I live with my mom and have a really cute dog.

I go to school at Leeuwenhorst College Noordwijkerhout.

I play hockey at NHC at Noordwijk, where I’m in a super fun and sweet team.

I work really hard, am quite stubborn, but also really kind and nice.

I am allergic for a few things….the most important being: nuts/peanuts, shellfish, fish and a number of fruits. I’m used to it, so I know how to work around it very well.

After high school I want to do a cool study, but I don’t know which one yet, because there’s so many options.

I look forward to getting to see your culture, doing fun things together and just having a really good time with you. We’ll make it a really fun exchange! I’M SO EXCITED! See you soon!!
