Dear Host Family, My name is Lucca, and I live in Brazil in a town 20 miles away from a big city. I live with my mother, who has a degree in Economics, and my father, who is a Police Officer with a degree in Law, and both work in our city's Civil Defense. I have two siblings, a brother who is in his final year of Architecture school, and a sister who also participated in a high school program in the USA and currently lives in Australia. I consider very important to get to know and experience other cultures, and I love to travel. I have visited several countries in Europe with my family: France, Italy, England, Spain and Portugal, as well as Jamaica, Haiti, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina and the Bahamas. I have also been to Disney World in Orlando and visited Miami, and I loved the USA. I enjoy playing sports very much; I do weightlifting and have been playing soccer since I was a child. My dream is to become a professional soccer player. Besides sports, I love playing video games, going to the mall and watching movies. I have been in a relationship with my girlfriend for two years, and we have a great relationship. I am very sociable and have many friends. Despite my young age, I am very independent and responsible. I love animals! We currently have a dog and three cats at home. I am seeking this opportunity to improve my English, make new friends, and broaden my horizons. Additionally, I am committed to adapt to your family routines and values, as well as respecting your rules and traditions. I am willing to help with household chores and share responsibilities, ensuring that our coexistence is harmonious and mutually rewarding. It is my genuine wish not only to be a temporary member of your family but also to establish bonds that will endure beyond this exchange. I am excited to create unforgettable memories together, explore new horizons, and build a lasting friendship. I would like to end this letter by thanking you for choosing me and welcoming me into your home. Best wishes, Lucca
