Dear Host Family, first of all, thank you so much for being willing to take me in as an exchange student and allowing me to live with your family. I’m a German girl, and I want to experience something new, travel across the world and see new things! I love music and playing my guitar, I also really like reading Japanese and Korean comics, but my favorite Hobby will always be horse riding, I think horses are amazing and beautiful animals. I love pets in general, my family owns a total of ten pets as well: four guinea pigs and six budgies. And I love spending time with them. I also worked with them a lot, so they’re not really shy and not afraid of people they know. My parents are both programmers for a relatively big company and I’m alone at home for a few hours before my parents come home, so I can handle most household chores on my own. But we're really close, and I hope to become a close part of your family as well. I and my mom love travelling, especially going on vacation somewhere near the ocean. We both like scuba diving, and I love water activities like swimming or snorkelling and just watch the wildlife under the sea. I’m from Bavaria, which has a long history, to be precise, I live near the city of Nürnberg, which is a really old and historically important city, and it’s beautiful too! I’m so excited to be able to share so many cultural details and our festivals like the Kirchweih, or typical Bavarian food, which is great! I’m really excited make amazing memories and new friends in America and I’m excited to become a part of your family! Best wishes, Katharina
