Who I am?

I am Nona, the middle daughter of the family.

The city where we live, Terrassa, is the third city in Catalonia in terms of inhabitants, a city with a textile and modernist industrial past, which is reflected in its museums, parks and houses. Terrassa is located between the city of Barcelona (with good communication with the capital, 20 minutes by car and 30 minutes by train) and the Sant Llorenç del Munt and l'Obac Natural Park; This park is located in the province of Barcelona, between the districts of Bages, the Vallés Occidental (of which Terrassa is part) and the Vallés Oriental, it is also the first natural park on the peninsula. The park is part of the Network of Natural Spaces of the Diputación de Barcelona.

My father is a pharmacist and, soon, a Social Worker; My mother is a Pedagogue and is one of the technical directors of a center for people with intellectual disabilities.

We are a large family with three children and a dog. The eldest son is Bernat and is 20 years old, the middle one is Nona and he is 18 years old, and the youngest is called Blai and he is 15 years old. The three of us are students and athletes (Bernat practices triathlon, Nona artistic gymnastics and Blai soccer). Both I and my older brother have a fairly good level of English and we defend ourselves well, my parents have a medium level and although they do not know how to speak it perfectly, they understand almost everything and defend themselves with the language. The mother of our father, our grandmother Máxima, makes a spectacular potato omelette; My mother's father, our grandfather Francisco, likes to walk on the mountain much like our grandmother Teresa, who also cooks Michelin star. My father also cooks very well; we have a celiac in the family, Bernat, so this will not be a problem for us if our visitor is too; In addition, my father is a specialist in gluten-free food.

We are a pretty normal family; we love to travel and we usually do it when we can, if we can not, we visit markets and typical fairs of the peoples of Catalonia.

Our apartment is large and is in a quiet, but central area; It has 4 bedrooms, a large living room, 2 toilets and a large terrace.

We have a dog called Nuca, she gets a little excited when it comes to meeting new people, but it lasts 5 minutes, and then she is very affectionate and calm as always.

We like camping and we usually spend the summer on the Costa Brava, specifically in the Empordà region, an interesting area for its famous beaches for the practice of Kitesurfing and for the cultural legacy of Dalí that splashes everything (Dalí Museum of Figueras, Castell de Púbol, Port Lligat ...).

We would be happy to make an exchange with another student of our age. We have opened this profile mainly for me, Nona, since I have been wanting to carry out an exchange for a long time.

Yo soy Nona, la hija mediana de la familia.

La ciudad donde vivimos, Terrassa, es la tercera ciudad de Cataluña en habitantes, una ciudad con un pasado industrial textil y modernista, del que dan fe sus museos, parques y casas. Terrassa se sitúa entre la ciudad de Barcelona (con muy buena comunicación con la capital, a 20 minutos en coche y 30 minutos en tren) y el Parque Natural de Sant Llorenç del Munt y l’Obac; éste parque está situado en la provincia de Barcelona, entre las comarcas del Bages, el Vallés Occidental (del que forma parte Terrassa) y el Vallés Oriental, además es el primer parque natural de la península. El parque forma parte de la Red de Espacios Naturales de la Diputación de Barcelona.

Mi padre es farmacéutico y, pronto, Trabajador Social; mi madre es Pedagoga y es una de las directoras técnicas de un centro para personas con discapacidad intelectual.

Somos una familia numerosa con tres hijos y un perro. El hijo mayor se llama Bernat y tiene 18 años, la mediana se llama Nona y tiene 17, y el menor se llama Blai y tiene 13 años. Los tres somos estudiantes y deportistas (Bernat practica triathlón, Nona gimnasia artística y Blai fútbol). Tanto yo como mi hermano mayor tenemos un nivel de inglés bastante bueno y nos defendemos bien, mis padres tienen un nivel medio y aunqueno saben hablarlo perfectamente, lo entienden casi todo y se defienden con el idioma. La madre de nuestro padre, nuestra abuela Máxima, hace una tortilla de patatas espectacular; al padre de mi madre, nuestro abuelo Francisco, le gusta mucho caminar por la montaña al igual que a nuestra abuela Teresa que, además, cocina de estrella Michelin. Mi padre también cocina muy bien; tenemos un celíaco en la familia, Bernat, así que esto no será ningún problema para nosotros si nuestro visitante también lo es; además, mi padre es especialista en alimentación sin gluten.

Somos una familia bastante normal; nos encanta viajar y solemos hacerlo cuando podemos, si no podemos, visitamos mercados y ferias típicas de los pueblos de Catalunya.

Nuestro piso es grande y  está en una zona tranquila, pero céntrica; cuenta con 4 habitaciones un salón grande, 2 lavabos y una terraza grande.

Tenemos un perro que se llama Nuca, se excita un poco cuando se trata de conocer a personas nuevas, pero le dura 5 minutos, y después es muy cariñosa y tranquila como siempre.

Nos gusta mucho el camping y solemos veranear en la Costa Brava, concretamente en la comarca de l’empordà, zona interesantísima por sus playas famosas por la práctica del Kitesurf i por el legado cultural de Dalí que lo salpica todo (Museo Dalí de Figueras, Castell de Púbol, Port Lligat…).

Estaríamos encantados de hacer un intercambio con otro estudiante de nuestra edad. Este perfil lo hemos abierto principalmente por mi, Nona, ya que llevo mucho tiempo deseando llevar a cabo un intercambio.
