Ivan is 15-year-old boy living in his native city Razlog in Bulgaria. His parents Kostadin and Maria have studied law just like their parents. His sister, age 10, studies in the same elementary school where he studied 5 years ago. He is now studying in the high school in Razlog and he just finished 9th grade. The languages he is learning now are English – for 9 years, Russian – for no more than a month and he just started studying Spanish at home.
AUBG Summer Camp is the first of its kind Ivan has ever visited. Anyway, he really likes it not only because of the perfect conditions of practicing his English, Russian, Spanish and even Turkish but also because there he made some really good friends and met many interesting people who deserve only respect and gratitude.
He loves doing sports that require a lot of energy like swimming and basketball as well as mind games like chess, backgammon and cards. His favourite color is blue, he likes eating homemade Bulgarian dishes and he really likes listening to R’n’B and Pop music.

Ainhoa is a Spanish girl born in Bilbao in de 25th of June of 1993. Now she is 17 and next year will be her last year in de High School. She went to school where everything was learnt in Basque. But when she was 12 years old she became part of the trilingual project where some subjects where teach in English. Nowadays she is still part of that project “next year I will study Art History, Literature, Law and History in English” she said. The first year of University is so close, so now is time to decide what she really wants to be. “I may study Journalism” she answered. The brother of her mother and his wife are journalists, and this is a job that has always fascinated Ainhoa.
This summer she is taking part in a summer camp in Bulgaria. Travelling, knowing new people and cultures are things that she really loves. After this camp she will meet all her family in a big house in Spain. “My mother has 5 sisters and 1 brother, so when we are all together we have a lot of fun!” Ainhoa said. But she admits that she will also miss so much her friends of Bilbao.
When she is with her friends, she likes chilling out in the sun, playing cards or just talking about life. But they also go to cinema. One of her favourite movies is Billy Elliot. When she is not with her friends she also like reading. This passion has been in inherited by her mother. She said that her favourite is “The Book Thief” by Markus Zusak. She also loves listening to music or writing.

In this interview, I’m writing about Ana from Montenegro. She is 16 years old and she really likes her country. She has two younger sisters – Angela (15) and Milica (13). What is interesting about Ana is that she has already been in the AUBG summer camp two times. Since that is her third time here, you could say that she knows her way around. When I asked her why she likes this particular camp so much, she said that many girls from Montenegro come here, so for her it is like refreshment from the tough school program back home. Her dreams are to be successful in her job, travel a lot and possibly live in London, for it is the city that she has wanted to live in since she was very young. What Ana really likes about herself is that she is ambitious, responsible, simple and a good sister.
