Dear American Family, My name is Martin, and I am 17 years old. I study in a gymnasium in Skopje recognized as the best gymnasium in Macedonia. I like to travel and visit new places, as well as meet new people. Trying new stuff, learning new skills. My favorite activity in my free time is playing guitar. I do not live with my parents, instead, I live alone in boarding, with my roommate Slavce, and with that, I have more responsibilities than my peers in my born town I have to clean my room, take care of my clothes. That are activities that I do not enjoy the most, but I really enjoy playing guitar, but not only me my friends also like when I play guitar. We all sing together and have fun. I have an interest in computer science the most. I love being in touch with news about new tech products. I started learning to code last year and I have been in coding competitions. I am born in a small city near the Bulgarian border, it is a quiet place with a population of 150000 people, but since I started Highschool I live now in a bigger town with a population of around 500 000 people. I live now in boarding. I love that lifestyle, I look at that as a challenge, getting out of my comfort zone. I look at the exchange as getting out of my comfort zone, visiting new places, and experiencing diffrent lifestyles, school system, and cultures. This exchange will give me opportunity to do all of this things Martin
