My name is Maria, I was born in Italy and I’m part of a fairly large family. I have two older brothers aged 20 and 18, while my parents are respectively a lawyer and a judge. Nanny also lives in my house, she has Filipino origins and is a second mother to me. We also have a beautiful dog, Teo, a very funny foundling we all love very much. I am also close to my grandparents but they don’t live with me, I visit them often. I’m attending the third year of a classical high school and I’m interested in what I study, even if it’s very challenging. I love sports, I used to climb, to do gymnastics and to swim. Now I take boxing lessons. I want to study a semester in the USA to improve my English, make new friends and live an experience that, as everyone says, is unique. #169509
