I'd be so happy if I could have the opportunity to be with you for a school year! I would consider myself to be curious, friendly, and reliable. My dad and I share a great passion for music, even if we have different tastes. He likes rock music and I like alternative pop music. Since I was a kid, my mum cooked organic and healthy meals, which has helped me to care about the future of our planet. In fact, I'm trying to do some little things like not eating meat. I learned to cook some vegetarian dishes with my sister! I really love animals, and I have two little dogs and a bunny that live free in my bedroom. I'm a quite active person, I go horse riding which has been a part of my life since I was eight. Sometimes I participate in horse riding competitions, where my speciality is jumping.
