I really enjoy soccer, whether it’s playing, training, or watching it on TV, especially Real Madrid CF. I also love running and, in general, any kind of sport or outdoor activity. Spending time with my family is very important to me, so I really enjoy playing board games and watching movies together. I also like reading, traveling, and making plans together, such as going on excursions or discovering new places. Recently, I’ve also started learning how to cook because I would love to prepare some Spanish recipes for my American family. I chose Virginia because the climate is more similar to the one we have at home. Sports are one of my biggest passions, especially outdoor sports, and I would love to play soccer in the USA. However, whether that is possible or not, I’m also very excited about the opportunity to try a new sport. I would really like to learn tennis or basketball, although I’d be happy to try any other sport as well. Since sports are such an important part of life there, that is something that really motivates me.

I'm of medium height, with dark hair and eyes. I'm very tolerant; it's almost impossible for me to get angry. I'm understanding, outgoing, cheerful, sociable, loyal, responsible, and hardworking. I love playing soccer (it's a very popular sport in Spain, as is volleyball). I also love skiing, going to the gym, and all sports in general. I enjoy studying and learning. Abroad, I'd like to make new friends, try new sports, and sample new cuisines. I'd like to know what it's like to be a student at an American school, since my school is completely different. I'm also interested in what people do for fun there. I think it will be a bit of a shock at first, with so many different things, but I'm sure I'll love it—everything new fascinates me.

I'm friendly and optimism. Also I'm a dreamer. I like to make new friends and chatting, and I say I'm positive because I don't scare to face challenges and fails. For examples, when I went to UK, I know it would not be easy. My English is not so good at that time, the first day in the school, the Italian student beside me ask me question and at first time I almost can't understand what she talk about. So I just smile, because I know it's an international language and it's the best way to solve every problem. Then I tried to use body language to chat with her. It end up amazing, now we are still friend that keep in touch. So it is one of the reasons I think I'm friendly and positive. Reading is my biggest interest. I love classic western novels, especially 19th centuries, no matter American, British, French or Russian writers. And I like playing basketball and muscle building (I'm starting doing that since half a year ago and I really like it).I also love nature, walking in forest or swimming in ocean for examples. I'm also a really big fan of music, no matter rap, R and B, vintage songs or pop music. When I go to the America, I'm looking forward to maybe I can go to see NBA ,Because I'm really a big fan of basketball.
