Meet Alejandro! (15yo upon arrival)
Alejandro is a friendly and easygoing 14-year-old from a small town near the mountains outside Madrid. He loves the outdoors and enjoys basketball, skiing in the winter, sailing, watching movies, and spending time with friends. He also likes music and video games, and his favorite subjects are Geography, History, and English.
He has mild allergies to walnuts and shellfish, but they only cause itching and are easily managed with antihistamines. He doesn’t react to traces and has never needed hospital care.
One of the most unique things about Alejandro is that when he was 11, he spent a full year sailing around the Caribbean with his parents and two older brothers. They crossed the Atlantic twice, lived on a boat, studied online, and visited countries with different languages and cultures. It was an experience that made him adaptable, curious, and excited to see more of the world.
Alejandro is looking forward to his exchange year and hopes to join school activities, make new friends, and experience everyday American life with his future host family.
