Claudia+Martinello

Hi, my name is Claudia and I'm 21 years old. I live in Limena, a big village that is about 20 km far from Padua. I live there with my family: my father, my mother, my two sisters Laura and Sofia. We love animals so we have a dog, Lara. My "faithful friend" is 13 years old but plays and runs like a puppy!

Now I'm studing English and Spanish literature and culture at the University of Padua. I'm attending the third year but I have to do still 8 exams before my graduation! I don't know why I decided to study languages; maybe because my mother is Spanish and I love Spanish language or maybe because I love traveling. I went a lot of times in Spain, above all in Barcelona, where my grandparents lived. Then I went to Oxford and London, Kiel in Germany, Paris, Norway, Czech republic and Croatia. But my favorite Country remains Spain, because there I feel at home. I like Spanish people, so sunny and friendly, and I also like Spanish food and night-life. I don't know what I want to do in the future, after graduation. I would like to find a job as interpreter or translator, but it's not easy. Few years ago I dreamt to become a famous writer, but I think it will be harder than get a job as Spanish interpreter in a firm!

I'm very shy when I meet new people and someone could think I'm presumptuous, but when I get in touch with someone I can speak for hours! Some of my best qualities -in my opinion- are sincerity and sensitivity and my high sense of responsibility. My family and my boyfriend say that my worst faults are that I'm to much anxious and nervous and that I'm really touchy. I think they're right! And unfortunately I'm also very lazy...I could pass the whole day laying on the sofa! I know it's bad and I know I need to do some form of sport so, last September I started to practice Jazzercise, that is something like aerobics.

I don't have particular hobbies and in my free time I simply listen to music, read, or watch a movie. But I don't like to stay alone so if I can I go out with my friends. When I see them during the day we have a coffee, go shopping, or have a walk. In the evening we usually go to some pub or to the cinema. My boyfriend loves dancing so sometimes we go to the disco, but I don't like discos: to much noise, to much people, and to much mess for me!

I think it's all but if you want to know more about me...ask me!
