My name is Rui Fonseca, and I am 19 years old. I am from Porto, Portugal.
I am graduating in Foreign Cultures and Languages in Porto, and I do it as
a full-time activity.
I like technology a lot, especially everything that involves videogames, they
are probably my favorite hobby. Another hobby that I have is collecting things, especially figures, from actual figures, to happy meal toys (if this toy looks like figures).
I would like to have a job in something that I like, probably something involving languages, like translation, or even something like being a flight attendant.

Hey there!
My name is Vânia Vieira and I am 19 years old. I lived all my life in
Porto. This is my first year as a student of Foreign Languages and Cultures,
but before I was in the first year of Law school.
I love to spend my time watching movies and series, I watch most of
them on the internet because it is difficult to find them on television.
I have a dance group with some friends and we use many socialmedia to captivate the attention of audiences to our group. We upload full videos on Youtube and we use Instagram, Twitter and Facebook to publicize our group by posting photos and short videos of choreos.
I also use Instagram and Facebook to show my cosplays to everyone.

Hello! My name is Sara Silva and I am 18 years old. I study Languages and Foreign Cultures at ESE.
As hobbies I am used to reading, playing games and watching many
Youtube
videos. I consider myself a very active user of social media, however, I am
not addicted to those.
I spend a lot of time on Instagram and Twitter but I don’t use those to share what I usually do. I use them to know what is happening in my friend’s life and what is happening in the world. I use social media to be in touch with friends
and the world because I am a person that likes and enjoys being alone.

Hello! My name is Beatriz Chaves and I’m 18 years old, born and raised in
Porto, Portugal.
I started my academic adventure recently, so I am in my first year in
Languages and Foreign Cultures. I intent to postgraduate although I do not
know exactly in what - I am still figuring out my future plans.
Concerning my interests (excluding the obvious passion for languages), I like to watch romance movies on Netflix, read, hang out with my family and friends, travel and camping and spend a lot of time scrolling on social medias (even though I should not). I also love animals and nature and to spend some of my free time in contact with them.
In the future, I hope to bring together my two passions (languages and travel) in order to have a work that fulfils me in all aspects.
