Hello my name is Leonor and I`m Portuguese. I´m eleven years old and my birthday is on first July.

I live in Guimarães, Portugal. Guimarães is a beautiful city! It has fantastic monuments and it's a hot city.

I live in a house with my mother, my father  and my brother. My mother, Fátima, is a Science teacher and she`s forty-six years old. My father, João, is a PE teacher and he´s forty-five years old. My brother, Eduardo, is a student and he's 6 years old.

My parents are very patient and kind. My brother is very active, but he is shy.

We have got a little turtle, called Carolina. She is very friendly, but she's a little sloth!

My favourite hobbies are reading and roller skating.

Bye, goodbye, I'm so excited to go to Turkey!

Hello! I'm Meryem. I'm 11 years old. I live in Silifke with my family but before we came here I lived in different countries and cities because my father works in international construction companies and his work involves moving.
I'm really cat lover and I can't miss any cat without petting it. I hope I'll become a veterinarian in future.
I also have a dream to  open the animal shelter where homeless animals can get medical help. I'll take care of them till finding home for them.
I also like painting, playing the flute and football.
It's so cool that my school takes part in this program. I'm happy going to Portugal, meeting new people and practicing my English. Bye!

Hello to all, we are Cátia, Pedro and Luís, family of Leonor Gonçalves. I work as lawyer and teammanager of a professional football club and my wife works as kindergarten teacher. Luís is Leonor’s 11 years old brother. Due to my role in a football club, I had already the pleasure to have been in Konya, Turkey, a city more or less 3-4 hours away from Silifke. We are very pleased that our daughter can be part of a culture exchange program, such as this one. Definitely these kind of experiences are very important for her growth and maturity, but will also increase her desire in speaking English and knowing new countries and cultures. We hope that Leonor can have a great week in Turkey, making new friends and visit this great country in the border of Europe and Asia. We would like to thank Ezgi and her family for the words they dedicated to Leonor. We don’t know yet which student we will host in Guimarães at our place, but we hope to be able to repay all the hospitality and time you will dedicate to our daughter.

I currently work as a copywriter part-time. İn addition I'm learning to play piano, because it's my dream since childhood. In free time I like to read books, listen to music.

Hello, we are the parents of Beatriz and Leonor Gusmão.  Carla and Nuno.
In the little free time we have, we like to attend shows in different areas, such as: music, dance, theatre, as well as visiting different museums. Fortunately, we manage to travel and get to know different cultures, although we haven't had the opportunity to get to know this great country that is Turkey.
