Maria
Hi. My name’s Maria and I’m almost 19 years old. I live in Valby, Copenhagen with my mom, stepdad and our cat Radha. I live a 20-minute ride from downtown Copenhagen. My parents are divorced, but they live very close to each other, so I see my dad every week. I’m studying Chinese, social studies and English. I chose Chinese because of the culture which has fascinated me since I was little. The culture is very different from the Danish culture and I am looking forward to experiencing it when we go to China next year. In my spare time I like dancing, singing and hanging out with my friends. I have a sister named Sophie who’s 27, and she works as a management consultant. She lives with her boyfriend in Nørrebro, Copenhagen. But even though there’s a big age gap between us, we are still very close. I’m a vegetarian, I don’t eat meat because I don’t like the way animals are being treated and it’s better for the environment. My favourite colour is green.
