I love exploring new perspectives and learning from people from different cultural backgrounds. I'm fascinated by intercultural interaction, and I find that engaging with diverse contexts (face2face or virtually) enriches my understanding of the world.

Hi! I love reading so it's not a big surprise that my favorite course ended up being writing composition. In my free time, I love going for walks and trying out new healthy recipes. I’m also a ballerina, so dance, especially ballet and lyrical styles, is something I’m so passionate about. I think that through different art forms, people can connect with each other.

Hi! I love reading and listening to music, especially pop and indie genres. In my free time, I try to rest as much as I can because I don’t have much spare time. I’m also volunteering with an international non-profit organization that promotes intercultural learning opportunities to help people develop the skills and understanding needed to create a more just and peaceful world. This is very important to me because it allows the connection between different cultures.

Hi, I enjoy the little things that life brings to us like eating, hanging around with friends and traveling. I'm a fan of discovering new gastronomic places that offer new flavors and great experiences to remember. Also, having a good time with our loved ones is enriching for our souls. Finally, traveling is an amazing acquaintance that fills us with knowledge from other cultures and has the finality of creating new connections with foreigners worldwide that build an improving perspective.

nicolorenzo138 — 2024-10-25 01:07:06 UTC

Hello! I love videogames, movies, tv shows, books, comics and pretty much every kind of art. I also write my own poetry and like jogging every now and then. This is my second course of studies, the first one being Social Communications.

Hi all!

I consider myself to be an avid reader. My favorite books are Cuore by Edmundo de Amicis, Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan and Tian Guan Ci Fu by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu, and my favorite comics are Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint by Sing Shong and One Piece by Eiichiro Oda. I also love music, especially music that tell stories, so it's no wonder I'm such a huge lover of musicals! My favorite ones are Hadestown by Anaïs Mitchell, Hamilton by Lin Manuel-Miranda, and lately I have been obsessed with Epic by Jorge Rivera-Herrans. Nice to meet you all!

PS: The picture I leave you with is with my favorite section of my personal library. My little sister made me that little Percy Jackson-themed nook between books!

Tomás Coronel

tomiucasal — 2024-10-25 01:14:36 UTC

Hi! I love the intense emotions that life can present me, if they are good the better. I love video games and being challenged by life so it's a good combination. I love nature, going for walks, hanging out with my friends and my girlfriend and exploring whatever the world has to give me with music in the background. My favorite band is Patricio Rey y Sus Redonditos de Ricota.

Abril Argañaraz

2024-10-25 01:18:50 UTC

Hi, everyone!

The three activities I love doing the most are watching TV shows, listening to music and playing videogames.

TV shows in particular are really fun for me. I absolutely adore the type of conversations people can have after analyzing an incredible TV show. I'm very passionate about good characterization and interesting stories in media, as I find fiction a great way to analyze the world and a fantastic medium to have meaningful conversations. My favourite character of all time is Zuko, from "Avatar: The Last Airbender".

Music, too, is extremely important in my life. I've learnt to play many instruments throughout my life, and although I no longer have that much time to play them, I've transferred my appreciation of physically playing an instrument to listening to music through my headphones. I love talking about the production, the melody and the lyrics of songs. My favourite artists are BTS, Ariana Grande, and Beyoncé (as a matter of fact, I'm listening to Cowboy Carter by Beyoncé right now!).

Finally, videogames are a bit of a new addition in my life. I used to simply not care about them until my friends introduced me to open-world games, like Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Hollow Knight, Omori and Genshin Impact. I've come to realize that, while I mostly play rhythm games, my favourite type of videogames are those that let you freely explore around the world the developers have created.

Nice to meet you all :)

Canela Cullell

2024-10-25 01:20:02 UTC

Hii! I enjoy listening to music whenever I get a free time from studying, I feel like I could spend my whole life listening to any kind of music, specially R&B. I don't really enjoy reading, not because I don't like it, but because my mind gets a bit lost after reading 5 lines in a row unless the plot is really catching. I really like superheroes movies and animated movies, actually my favourite one is Cars and any avengers' movie (even if they got a bit odd lately (iykyk)). :)) and i love my cat dearly

Nahir Moreno

morenonahira — 2024-10-25 01:31:02 UTC

Hi everyone! My name is Nahir. I love understanding our language so that's the reason why my favourite subject is Linguistics.

I enjoy spending time with my family because I just love them. In my free time I love going to the gym since its a way of releasing stress, and it also helps me to be a healthy person. I also love animals, specially cats; I actually have one whose name is Vladimir and he is so cute!

Concerning music, one of my favourite bands is called "Airbag" and I love their music because I think they are so talented, I just admire them.

Micaela Colina

2024-10-25 01:46:36 UTC

Hi! I'm Micaela, let me tell you some things about me. I consider myself an extroverted person and a very sensitive person so yes, I cry for everything that move me.

I love the entertainment world, in my free time I enjoy watching movies or series but I prefer series. Also, I like listening to music, all kind of music. My favorite singer of the moment is Humbe, a mexican singer who writes such beautiful lyrics. My favorite song of him is "Fantasma".

I´m studying the translation course because I love languages, the idea of connecting cultures is something that blows my mind and I would like to do as a future translator one day.

María Paz Cadena Weidmann

2024-10-25 02:12:43 UTC

My name is María Paz and I have always liked fantasy. The books I have read, such as The Lord of the Rings and Narnia, have pretty much shaped my imagination and my perception of this world and the ones I believe exist in our minds and hearts. As a child I loved to imagine that the places I went to were full of magic, like gardens, mazes, old houses and some forests too, because magic finds the ones who want to find it. As a young adult, cinema has become a very profound way of entertainment, I like to watch films that move and strike me, like Gladiator and Amelíe. Literature is one of my favourite subjects because as a book lover I feel blessed to be able to read pieces of litrature that were written centuries ago; I believe writing is the most outstanding form of art. In my free time I like to engage in outdoor activities such as taking a walk through some forest or hill and connecting with nature and animals, reasons why I am a vegetarian :) Regarding music, I love American rock and roll hits from the 80s, such as Everybody wants to rule the world or Livin´on a prayer. Have a nice day.

Antonella Cayo

cayoantonella16 — 2024-10-25 02:57:14 UTC

Hi, everyone! I love listening to music and I’m a huge fan of Coldplay, so I never miss their concerts when they're in Argentina. They recently released a new album called Moon Music! Obviously, I listened to it as soon as it came out. Aside from music, I enjoy gardening because it helps me relax and connect with nature. My favorite flowers are amaryllis; I even have 11 different types in my garden! Also, I’m really into watching shows from all over the world. I’ve already seen series from Korea, Thailand, China, India, the U.S., the UK, Mexico, Japan, and other places. It's a great way to learn about different cultures!

Agustina López Mercado

aguslopez2920 — 2024-10-25 03:05:25 UTC

I listen to all kinds of music, especially Argentine rock, international hits from the 80s and 90s, and those old songs my mom and grandma love. I'm also a big foodie, with a special love for Arabic food and pasta, and I enjoy discovering new flavors and places to eat. Traveling is another passion of mine, and my favorite place in the world is the beach.

Julieta Paz

2024-10-25 03:07:22 UTC

Hi! My name is Julieta, I am a person who loves to spend my free time with the people I love and with my pets because in them I found an inexplicable love. But, I also enjoy the moments of solitude like reading a good book and getting into a new world through reading. I also love everything related to art such as dance, theatre and any artistic expression. I can't define one subject as my favourite in my studies because I found something I like in all of them, but I can say that I appreciate the interculturality that all the subjects offer us because I find it fascinating to know the world beyond what we normally know in our field.

I enjoy all kinds of music, but especially the music of the 80's, it's catchy and energetic.

Alejandro Córdoba

2024-10-25 03:26:31 UTC

Hi everyone, I love animals and any way of connecting with nature, such as going for a walk in green spaces, hiking, and just lying on the ground. I also enjoy playing videogames and listening to music. These two activities help me disconnect from the world and are my comfort zone. I LOVE spending time with my pets, they really know how to turn my sad and overwhelming day into happiness and joy. I'm a true believer that we don't deserve animals, they're just superior in authenticity and truthfulness.

Florencia Flores

2024-10-25 03:51:39 UTC

Hi! I like animals, plants, music and books. I have a dashhund, her name is Pachu and she is seven years old. She is literally my spoiled daughter. My main interests are related to social issues, so I like to read and learn about culture and gender.

Valentina Calabró

2024-10-25 04:01:16 UTC

Hi everyone, my name is Valentina. I enjoy playing volleyball, sport that I started 3 years ago. The game and sport have helped me in difficult moments, but most important, it helps me to control my anxiety. After changing from sport club to sport club, I am playing in the university at the moment. Moreover, Informatics is my favourite class today because it helps me to improve my short computer abilities. Despite the fact that was difficult to understand at first sight, I feel comfort after practising a lot. Also, I enjoy spending time with my cat and visiting my mom on Sundays.

Lastly, I love indie-alternative music more than anything, so my favourite band is Wallows. Their lyrics have huge impact on my life and in the expression of my emotions.

Belle

2024-10-25 04:17:06 UTC

Hello everyone, I hope you're doing ok. I'd like to start by saying that I haven't been feeling so great lately. However, after talking to my grandma and some of my dearest friends, I realized that I've always known who I am. I like simple things like feeling my heartbeat or breath when I'm running or about to sleep. I enjoy playing hide and seek with my black female cat when I get home (as weird as it sounds). I extremely adore listening to music of any kind really, I have like 35 playlist with all of mood swings, genres, feelings and favourite artists. Last but not least, I extremely adore Halloween, and it really concerns me having to take exams instead of finishing my costume.

Benjamín Lagomarsino

2024-10-25 04:30:07 UTC

Hello there! My name is Benjamin and I have long been fascinated by space. While I enjoy reading all kinds of books, I have a special fascination for science fiction as I feel it tests my imagination by creating whole different realities. From Ray Bradbudry's "Fahrenheit 451" to Robert Heinlein's "Starship Troopers", sci-fi has taken me to worlds I could have never imagined, all the while making me feel things I had never experienced before (you can imagine how I felt watching "Avatar" for the first time). As a young adult, I have grown even closer to books and as such, it is no wonder that my favorite subject is Literature. Whether I read a poem or a play, being able to experience what people wrote centuries ago is like having a conversation with the past. In my free time I usually do some exercise at home or go for a run. When night comes, I enjoy stargazing while listening to music for hours on end. Speaking about music, I absolutely love 80s and 90s American rock, like Rock the Casbah or Basket Case.

That is it from me. Have a great day!

Cecilia Jimenez

2024-10-25 04:38:02 UTC

Hi everyone! My name is Cecilia, and I absolutely love animals, so it is not surprise when I say that I have 8 cats, 4 dogs and 1 parrot. Although I have this big list of animals at home, I must admit that I´m a cat person at heart; they mean everthing to me. I also love listening to music, my tastes range from cumbia villera to pop. Some of my favorist artist are Queen, One Direction, 5SOS, NTVG. i´m also super into podcasts, especially the ones that share creepy paranormal stories or funny life experiences like "Hablemos de lo que no existe" and "Tarde de Terlulia". And of course, I love spending time with my friends and family. Whether we´re grabbing a bite to eat, going to classes, going outdoors, or just chatting, those moments really make my day because being with them means certain laughter.

Agustina Chiliguay

agussd013 — 2024-10-25 04:46:48 UTC

Hiii! I’m Agustina and there are a lot of things that I enjoy the most, like going out with my friends and having a laugh with them. I love spending time with my family and I really like outdoors. Another thing that I enjoy is listening to music a lot whenever and wherever I can. I kinda listen to almost any sort of music from oldies like Pimpinela to a more recent one like babasonicos or Mac Miller. Recently, I’ve been listening to Charlie XCX’s album ‘BRAT’, if you have the chance, you should listen to it!. I think my favorite classes so far from my course are psychology because i find it quite interesting and linguistics, mainly because it encompasses most aspects of language like syntax, semantics, etc.

Mateo Akemeier

2024-10-25 04:47:07 UTC

Hello there, I'm Mateo, seventh son of the seventh son literally, I'm a self proclaimed cinephile and my favorite movies are the Lord of the Rings trilogy and I am a fan of both Spiderman and Batman. I enjoyed playing football the most until I tore my ACL so I'm recovering and getting ready to get back to the pitch. I like to draw mostly anime like Dragon Ball Z but lately I've been trying to draw everything so as to challenge myself. I like almost all kinds of music but my favorite is definitely movie soundtracks.

2024-10-25 04:51:35 UTC

"Hi, I'm Monserrat but everybody call me Monchi or Monse, as you wish. I really love music any kind of genres and I am very interested in literature, especially books that explore psychological and romantic themes. I like to participate in reading workshops, thanks to that I have the habit of writing about some reflection after reading a book that has touched my soul. I like to write my point of view of the book or simply dedicate some drawing to it, I firmly believe that sometimes if you can't express yourself through words you can do it by drawing. Also, cinema has a special place in my life, as my father being a very busy guy on weekends we would watch movies or go to the cinema. I look forward to connecting with like-minded people who share these interests.

2024-10-25 05:45:06 UTC

Hello everyone! I consider myself a dog lover, I really love animals. I think they are the best company a person can have. I actually have a dog, "Tito", and he is the love of my life, partner in pranks and sleep times. I also love working out since I found out about Crossfit, a sport that has changed my whole life! I've learnt a lot, not only to practice the sport, but also I've learnt about determination and sticking to something. So, and I adopted as my favourite sport ever. And also the people I train with are amazing. However, I'm not a cinephile person because I easily fall asleep when I'm watching a film or a series, but I like to watch documentaries (crime documentaries actually), so it's really nice to talk about someone who watches this kind of content. My favourite thing to do with my friends is to go out and have a cup of tea while we talk about whatever is on our minds or just be quiet but together. It's so much fun! Fun fact! I was diagnosed with gluten intolerance 3 years ago and it is interesting how my life has completely changed since then. I'd love to read it and find out a few things about you! Have a nice day :)

My favourite things in the world are spending quality time with my grandma while she recounts all her life-stories, hanging out with my friends and my boyfriend and travelling with my mom and laughing together about some anecdotes until our stomachs hurt.

Hi! My name is Aleyna Gungor and I'm 18 years old. I am a sophomore at wesleyan university and a prospective gov major. I'm from a very small beach town on Long Island. I love to hang out with my friends whenever I can. I love to watch movies on my free time (especially romcoms)! I also am usually always listening to music. I would say my music taste is pretty diverse, listening to music from different cultures, but I love Brent Faiyaz. In high school I was on the volleyball team and I still really love to play.

Hey everyone! I'm Isaías, and I don't know what to write here haha. I'm from Puerto Rico and I live in the state of Arkansas when I'm not at school. I'm an only child and have never had any pets, which always seems to surprise people, but I don't mind it. I speak English and Spanish, and am currently trying to learn Arabic to study abroad in Egypt next semester. I've always loved language and observing how people communicate, and one of my favorite ways of communication is movies. I am a huge movie nerd and I love looking at how movies from different places knowingly or unknowingly highlight into place's beliefs or collective consciousness.

Hi! I'm Luna, and I'm from Seoul, South Korea! I have a seven-year-old dog named Coco (also goes by Coquito), who I adore with my whole heart. I spend most of my free time walking, cuddling, or napping with him. He's the best. Music-wise I really listen to anything depending on how I'm feeling in the moment. I occasionally enjoy reading but mostly in Korean because for some reason it's just easier. One thing I've been enjoying lately is costume design and I love scrolling through pinterest and looking for potential projects to start on instead of doing homework.

Hi everybody!

My name is Ibby. I'm from New York but I went to elementary school in Dubai and High School in Spain. Because of how often my family moved as I was growing up, I'm very close to my siblings. I love to read: some of my favorite authors are Elena Ferrante, Jane Austen, and Isabel Allende. I write, too, mostly poetry. Cooking relaxes me in theory but I'm bad at multitasking and so often chaos results. The photo above is one I took cause I liked the colors.

Hi everyone！

My name is Shirley and I'm a sophomore at Wesleyan University studying economics and global engagement. I'm an international student from China. I enjoyed cooking with my friends and trying new international cuisine. Another shared love of me and my friends is watching international movies of different genres.

One of my favorite singers is Taylor Swift, and my favorite album of hers is Midnights, which helped me through the tough college application and Pandemic season.

I also like Japanese pop songs and KPOP.

Hi everyone! My name is Mariana, I'm 26 and I'm studying to become an English teacher. The photo you can see there was taken some weeks before. I love horses and I really enjoy horse riding with my family and friends, it's a hobby and a family tradition. Another activity I like is singing and listening to music, it is imposible for me to live a day without music.

Hello! I tend to enjoy all the simple things and wonders that life offers us. In my free time, I use to walk around my city or every single place I am in that moment, play videogames, listen music, watch series & films and take photos as a hobby. I love to alternate between urban and rural lifestyle. I love nature, being specially fascinated when I look at the sunrises and sunsets. Concerning what type of music I like, I have special attraction to Rock and Metal from any decade, even I also hear many other genres, like Ska, Blues, Rap, Electro, etc. Hope everyone is well!

Hi everyone! My name is Amal Mallick, and I’m from Lahore, Pakistan. I love doodling, playing table tennis, trying new restaurants and hanging out with my friends. I’m a government major, and one of my favorite classes has been Politics, Revolutions, and Visual Culture in Post-Revolutionary Arab Societies (I know, it’s a long title!) but it was a fascinating course taught by a Professor who defected from the Syrian army and had first hand experiences. I really enjoy researching and learning about politics in different countries. Looking forward to meeting all of you!

I'm a Computer Science major at Wesleyan University. I love design (fashion and user interfaces), writing (postcards, letters, and journaling), and anime. I like films and books with fleshed out characters and acute observations like The Marriage Story (2018) and Normal People by Sally Rooney.
