Meet Isabella Hahn, Austrian delegation

Hello, my name is Isabella Hahn, most of my friends call me Isi. I am 19 years old and live in Vienna. I have a younger sister she is 17. Because self-descriptions are not easy for me I asked my friends, how I am. They said I am chatty, helpful, kind and tolerant. (And I am to fast at talking and walking (the rhyme was a coincident, but I like rhymes)). My Hobbies are baking, cooking and I really love to read. When I was younger I did horse-riding, and at the moment I am doing a bit ballet.
A friend of mine joined peacecamp last year, he was really enthusiastic about it, and told me a lot. That was the impetus for me to join peacecamp, but I also hope to get experience and hear from other countries. Second I hope to be able to answer the last question "What can you do in the future to promote peace in your own country" after peacecamp. At the moment I don't really know what I can contribute for peacecamp, but I am sure there are things and I will get them during peacecamp.

Meet Victoria Borochov, Austrian delegation

Hello everyone, my name is Victoria, or simply Vicky. On July 2nd I turn 17, my favourite food is Pizza and black is my favourite colour.
But let's get serious. My friends and family would describe me as open-minded, funny, reliable, optimistic and sociable. I'm jewish and I was born and raised in Vienna.
I love playing the piano (which I tought myself about 2 years ago) and the ukulele. In my spare time I watch series, read books, listen to music all the time and hang out with my friends. I have an older brother, David, who participated peacecamp a few years ago and came back with only good memories.
People often get confused when I talk to my family. At our family table we talk mainly German, but also Russian and Hebrew. I think it's very interesting and funny because that way, if you might forget a word in one language you just switch to a different one!
I want to join peacecamp because I am very interested in the stories people share and how they feel about the political conflicts nowadays. I think I have experiences on my own which I will be able to share. I'm hoping to go home with new friends, different views and more knowledge about other cultures.
