I’m Matilde, I’m a 16-year-old girl from Italy. Now I live in southern Italy in a small seaside town, instead until 2 years ago, I lived in northern Italy. Then because of my mom’s job, I moved here. I am currently attending the 11th grade at high school, where I mostly do science subjects, but I am also a big fan of literature and philosophy. I have always been a curious person, I like to expand my creativity and imagination. I don’t always have free time to practice all my hobbies but when I have it, I love to read, listen to music, write new stories or update my journal but also go out with my friends or stay at home to watch movies and bake with them. In the future I would like to work on TV as a dancer because my biggest passion is dancing but in general I am a very active girl who likes to do any kind of sport. In fact, I also attend a gym, where I lift weights. I also love to travel and discover new cultures, and that led me to want to do a year abroad. I don’t have any allergy. *Adacemic Scholarship Winner; 3 State Request: CA, FL, NC #177804
