Connecting with teens around the world
Name Aricia Cristina Santons Pereira
Age 17
City Belo Horizonte, Brazil
Star sign Gemini
Brazil is a tropical country with  a nice climate all year round.  My hometown Belo Horizonte is a big  city packed with people and cars.
At school, I study Portuguese - the official language -  geography, mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics, philosophy and English.
In the future, I'd like to work  in International Relations.
I usually spend two hours a day on homework and then I like hanging out with my friends, going to the park or shopping.
Sometimes I play sports, handball is my favourite game. I listen to  electronic music and enjoy all kinds of films. I also like travelling with my family in school holidays.
I adore pets and have two dogs and some fish.
What I like most about my country are the warm, friendly people.
The most popular  Brazilian festival is our seven-day carnival of music and dance.
