Hello everyone!
My name is Marie and I’m currently 16 years old (2006). I live together with my brother, who turned 14 in November and my grandparents, but don’t be afraid they are like everyone else’s parents! We live in Zeven and don’t have any pets. In my free time I enjoy listening to music and playing video games on my computer. I read that some of you play the guitar and so do I since 6 years. I also play handball and volleyball in our sports club. For my future I plan to visit as many countries as I can, but I didn’t came much around yet. So I am looking forward to go to Finland next year. Besides visiting other countries I really like going to assuming parks like in my picture where I was in Heide Park, which isn’t that far away from our hometown. In school I enjoy arts and politics class.

Antoni Rose

Hello, I'm Antoni a 15-year-old boy from Iisalmi, Finland. I speak English and Finnish at home, because my dad is originally from England. I spend some time of the year in Wales with my grandparents.

My hobbies are ice hockey, road biking, photography and playing guitar. At school I like pretty much every subject except Finnish and chemistry.

I’ve been to Germany a few times. Mostly all I remember is the small towns, slow traffic caused by traffic jams and the great food especially schnitzels.

I work as a Finnish language and literature teacher in Juhani Ahon koulu (Juhani Aho's School) in Iisalmi. I'm interested in languages and different cultures. Travelling, reading, dancing, handicraft and all kind of outdoor activities in the nature are close to my heart. I love ice cream, my family and my friends 😊. The waterfall behind me is called Hepoköngäs, in Puolanka.
