Hello, 

My name is Aitana and I’m 15 years old, but soon I will be 16. I’m from a town in the Basque country, northeast of Spain. I’m the oldest of 4 siblings, I have two brothers and a sister  younger than me, who are triplets. I live with them and my parents, we don’t have any pets but I would like to have a cat. I don’t have any young cousins to play with or to take care of. Which is a shame, because I like young kids and I connect with them really well. I have three grandparents, my grandmother from my mom's side is from the south of Spain, but she lives 10 minutes from my house. I go every Thursday to eat with her and normally on Sundays she comes to our house, with my cousin and uncle, to eat all together. My grandparents from my dad’s side are from another city in the northwest of Spain , they also live here but only half of the year because the other half they go to the northwest of Spain. So I don’t see them that much but we stay in contact.

I enjoy taking theater classes that I have been doing every Wednesday for two years. At the moment I have done three plays but in a few months I will do my fourth one. Even though we are of different ages in my group we all work well and have a great time together. In my free time I usually watch movies or series. I don’t have a favorite type of movie because I love all of them, however some of my favorite movies are the Marvel ones, Harry Potter and 10 things I hate about you. And my favorite series are Friends and Grey's Anatomy. And I like reading, in this case my favorites are teen romance novels.

I also enjoy doing sports a lot, especially going to the gym. I started going one year ago and I love it. I lift weights and occasionally do cardio, sometimes I go with my friend but most of the days alone. I also did five years of figure skating when I was younger. Last summer I surfed and in winter I went skiing and I enjoyed it so much. I’m always listening to music, which is essential for my life. I listen to different styles of music depending on my mood and my favorite artists at the moment are Taylor Swift and Gracie Abrams.

When I hang out I usually go with my friend because we don’t have a group or with my boyfriend. I also have other close friends but they don’t live in my town, so I don’t see them that much. When my friend and I meet up we go to coffee shops, for a walk or to a house to watch a movie when it's bad weather. One of our favourite things to do is get ready and go to a nice place to take photos. And with my boyfriend we normally go for a walk, enjoy our time together or sometimes we play video games together. That's another thing that I like to do, playing video games. I usually play them with my siblings and most times we play Fortnite.

To me, I consider myself a kind, cheerful, curious and extrovert person but at the same time I'm hardworking, sometimes I’m shy, I like having my time and ambitious, to achieve my goals and purposes. I’m a very creative person. I like making gifts for the people that I love like crafts or customized items, and I’m good at it. I am also a very organized person, I like to have my space clean and my things on the agenda and I'm a constant person, I like to set goals and work hard to achive them. I also like to take time for myself and my personal image, doing my makeup or my nails and chill. And I love visiting new places, going on excursions and try new things. I think that I’m a good friend and girlfriend, that I care for the people that I love.

Talking about my goals in life, I always wanted to be a professional actress but now I want to work on something related to marketing, if it can be of fashion, and let the interpretation like a hobby. I want to achieve everything that I want, but I know that I have to work hard for that. Going abroad to The United States has always been my dream since I was young. I have always wanted to live the American life. I love their passion for sports, their high schools and especially how they celebrate all the holidays in a big way. I know that is not everything like the movies, but it is special for me. I also love the language, English, and I want to improve mine the most that I can. I think that this can be a perfect experience in my life to visit new places and to learn a lot of different and new things, a dream come true. I can’t wait!
