Dear Host Family, My name is Ruben, and I am very excited about the opportunity to spend my exchange year in the United States. I look forward to learning about your culture, your traditions, and your everyday life. I would describe myself as open minded, friendly, and curious. I enjoy sporty activities like going to the gym and doing athletics. I also enjoy spending time with my family, and I often hang out with my friends. We often ride e-scooters together, and sometimes they visit me at my home, or I go to theirs. During my exchange year, I hope to experience new things, meet interesting people, and become a part of your family. I am also happy to share my own culture and traditions with you. I believe this exchange year will help me grow as a person, improve my language skills, and give me memories that will last a lifetime. I am especially looking forward to building strong connections and learning more about the American way of life, both in school and at home. Thank you so much for welcoming me into your home and giving me this wonderful opportunity! See you soon, Ruben
