Hi there! I'm Lilika, a 16 years old student of Het Amsterdams Lyceum. I live in the centre of Amsterdam, at the Keizersgracht. My hobbies are going out, meeting up with my friends and playing fieldhockey. I really like the idea of showing you guys how it is to live here, and i'm curious what the differences are between our lives in Sevilla and Amsterdam. My facebookaccount is www.facebook.com/lilikawiersinga and my twittername is @lilikaa_ . Maybe we can communicate with each other by chatting on facebook or something :) I'm looking forward too meet you all! X Lilika
Hey, how are you? To start with the usual, my name is Diego and I’m 17 years old. I live in Diemen which is close to Amsterdam. I pretty much love every type of music (except classical/opera), but I listen to pop the most. I play guitar as well for about a year now.
I’m a bit laid back, but I try to see the good side of things and I do my best to make things the most fun. My hobbies are: playing guitar (which I mentioned earlier), watching tv, drawing, biking, partying, going to the cinema, generally having fun. I have no allergies and I like pets and wouldn’t mind to stay over where one is, but I myself don’t have any. Almost every holiday I go to Spain, mostly to Estepona (near Malaga). My English is pretty ok and I think I can make myself clear in Spanish. I have Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/diegorenting Or you can mail me at diegorenting@gmail.com Hope to see you soon, Greetz from Diego PS (I included a picture of me from Rome)

¡Hola!
Me llamo Lizzy y voy a contarte algo sobre mí (voy a escribir en español, pero probablemente hago muchas faltas ☺).
Vivo en Amsterdam, con mis padres y mi hermano Remy. Remy tiene 14 años, yo tengo 16 años. Mi casa está al lado de un mercado y al fin de la calle hay un parque. Vivo cerca del centro de Amsterdam y también hay un zoológico aqui.
Me gusta el voleibol, hacelo dos veces por semana. Me gusta patinar, ir de compras, escuchar la música, mirar series (por ejemplo ‘’how I met your mother’’ o ‘’Pretty Little Liars’’) y viajar también. Y al fin de semana, cuando tengo tiempo libro, voy a salir con amigos.
¡Bebo mucho café! Me lo gusta mucho, pero pimiento no me gusta. Además, como y bebo casi todo. Si tienes un animal doméstico, no es una problema. Yo mismo no tengo un animal doméstico pero quiero tener uno :D
Tengo muchas ganas para el intercambio. Si quieres, puedes ver mi página de facebook (busca ‘’Lizzy Sinnema’’) o enviar un mensaje electrónico (lizzylizlo@hotmail.com)
¡Adios!

I live in Amsterdam Amsterdam (about half an hour away from the centre) with my parents and my 18 year old brother (his name is Boris). I am a very active person and I like to sport.

I talk a lot and can’t wait to meet new people. I’m in Spanish class for for 4 years and speak enough Spanish to understand you (if you talk a little slow). My email is: mariekevanbrussel@msn.com Or you can find me on facebook: Marieke van Brussel !Hasta Luego!
Hi! My name is Peer and I’m 17 years old. I live in Amsterdam, the capital of The Netherlands. The people from Amsterdam like to think that Amsterdam is the best city in Holland. I think so too. You can do all sorts of things here. Just hang in the park, play sports and especially go out. The best Dj’s are from Holland, so you can go out to clubs very well. My hobbies are playing sports like soccer or tennis. Go out with friends. Most of the time to parties but also to pubs or cafés. I play soccer with a lot of friends in the same team. I like it very much. Other hobbies are playing videogames (not a lot), play the piano or just hanging with friends. I have a fish. There aren’t any vegetarians in our house. I live with my little brother who is 10 years old. And my mom and dad. It’s about 10 minutes cycling from my house to school and 5 minutes to the place where all the fun spots are in Amsterdam.
Here’s a picture:
My name is Thomas, i'm seventeen years old. I was born in Amsterdam and lived there for about seven years, but after that, I moved to Amstelveen, a city located just under Amsterdam. In Amstelveen, I live with my parents and my little brother and sister. My brother is 12 years old and my sister is 10. My birthday is 12 November 1994. I really like playing sports, like for instance football or tennis. I also like going out with friends. I don't really have a favorite kind of music I listen to, it can be many things, like house, R&B or reggae. I defenitely look out to meet you all and I hope we'll get along.
see you all in April!
Hi, My name is Wirasha Autar, I’m 16 years old, and I live in Amsterdam. So I have to tell you more about myself. Well I really like dancing and I’m doing it since I was six years old. I prefer Hiphop but I also like to do a modern choreography. If you like to stay at my place, You don’t have to be afraid of cycling, we will look for another option to go to school. I also like listening to music, but if I go out, I prefer House more than Dubstep. I also play tennis once a week but I’m not very good at it, it’s just for fun! I also have Spanish lessons for 2,5years, so I can speak a little bit Spanish. My favorite TV shows are How I Met Your Mother, friends and Gossip Girl. My friends say that I’m very funny and outgoing. And it’s easy for me to socialize. I like to meet new people, especially from all over the world. I live with my mother and we don’t have any pets. It’s not a problem for me if you have a pet. My favorite things to eat are: pasta, pizza and chicken But I don’t eat beef. That’s very important to know! I’m not allergic to anything. I would like to go to Sevilla. I’ve never been to Spain before. Only to Mallorca when I was seven years old or something. So I hope that you can tell me a lot about your city. I love to travel and see new cultures. I don’t have twitter but you can add me as a friend on Facebook (just Wirasha Autar) And if you have any other questions you can also send me an e-mail on wirasha_15@hotmail.com
I hope to speak to you soon, and I’m looking forward to see you in April.
Greetings,

Hola, me llamo Eline Sparreboom y tengo 16 años. Vivo en Amsterdam con mi madre y mi hermana de 14 años. Me gusta el fútbol y ver películas o la tele. Tengo muchas ganas de ir al Sevilla porque me gusta la sol y la comida de España. As you can see I speak a little bit Spanish ( I hope I didn't make to much mistakes), but I prefer to talk and write in English. That's much easier for me. I'm really looking forward to the exchange and I hope it'll be fun! Myu hobbies are watching tv, for example I like to watch How I Met Your Mother, Friends, Private Practise, Will and Grace and some other american comedies. I love to play soccer, I've played it since I was little and I still do it. I love to watch the games too, for example Barcelona. Besides that I like drinking coffee and going out with friends. I don't have any allergies. When you're in Holland you'll have to sleep in the same bedroom as I do and I hope you can ride a bike because that might be necessary. I live in a quiet part of the city, close to a supermarket a bar and a parc. I hope you'll like it as much as I do!

Hi man (maybe girl,) My name is Lucas Roeleveld, I’m writing you this mail in English mainly cuz I’m just too lazy to do so in Spanish. I’ve had five years of class in Spanish so I have all the right to do so. Well the purpose of this letter is to introduce myself which I am now gonna do. I’m dutch, blond, tall, relaxed, 17 years old, I like sports (like not love), gaming, eating (I’m not fat ☺.) Let’s see, I do gymnastics you know like Epke Zonderland but way lamer, got a guitar here (haven’t played in a long time…), I do NOT live in Amsterdam which is f***ing lame, live in this small village 15 minutes by bus from A’dam called Ilpendam. I got a trampoline in the garden (I know my tricks,) what more to tell… I got 4 brothers live with my parents, oh yeah my house is a crazy chaos, just like my room XD. I hate homework, love chicas, hate people being a pain in the ass, love relaxing, hate working (work every Saturday from 9 to 5, oh yeah,) love being a pain in the ass. Well I think this gives you a good image of me but to illustrate this image, here’s an image of me (credits to the iPhone for the great quality…)

Hi, my name is Quico Schmitz and I'm 16 years old. I live in the centre of Amsterdam and I go to The Amsterdams Lyceum. Each week I have Spanish for 6 hours, so I'm stating to speak it better and better but my English is way better. I like playing videogames on a ps3, playing soccer or basketball and watching tv. I want to go to Sevilla because I want to improve my Spanish and my parents went there and I heard reall good stories about it. I hope you're going to have a good time in Amsterdam and see you later!
Hello my name is Tom, I’m 17 years old and was born in Amsterdam, I live with my younger brother (15) and my parents just outside Amsterdam. To the center it’s about 20 minutes biking or it’s easy to go by tram if you can’t ride a bike. I like to sport as much as possible and I love to be outside but I like to play games or watch movies too. I also can’t live without music, I listen all kind of music: rock, house, rap, pop… I play hockey (4 days a week) and go to the gym about 1 or 2 times a week. An important thing to know is that I don’t speak Spanish. I’ve had Spanish for 1 year but it was just vocabulary and I forgot almost everything.
