My partner is Fabio Colombina, he lives at Via Malteotti 11c in Vicenza.

He is a fan of Iron Maiden, he likes to play soccer and has a special interest in chemistry. He is a friendly and shy person.

He wants to study chemistry or science. I like him because he's a nice and friendly person, but he is really shy and he doesn't talk so much.

I liked this week a lot, it was such a nice experience. The Italian people are very nice, funny and very friendly. I felt sad when we had to say goodbye. I liked the programme too, and I didn't mind the walks. Although I would have liked a little more free time to walk around for our selves.
