Hi!

I am looking forward to meeting you, I am very excited about going to the United States.

I am a very sportive person and I practice many sports, such as: basketball, surfing…

I play basketball in my neighborhood's team, and I have many friends because of that. I also surf, but normally in summer. I like swimming and I sometimes go to the pool for that. I like soccer but I don't practice.

This year my team has won, for the moment, 3 matches and has lost only 1. This is quite good, taking into account that, last year we only won 3 matches in all the season, but this is because we were playing versus teams that were much better than us, and this year the matches are really equal and I am improving more.

 I go to watch soccer games with my father in the stadium of the soccer team I support, and I really enjoy going there.

I also go to watch basketball in the basketball arena of the city, with my mother and my father.

 I live with my parents in a small city in the Basque Country, the Basque Country is in the northern part of Spain. My grandparents, my cousins and my aunt and uncle also live in the same city,

My two small cousins study at my school too, so I see them a lot.

 My school timetable is really good because I only go there from 8am to 14.15pm and then I have all the afternoon to train or to study or just to chill out and relax.

 When I hang out with my school friends, I go shopping or for a walk, sometimes we have dinner all together too, but when I meet with my basketball friends we normally go and watch matches.

 As I have said before I love doing sport, but apart from that I love traveling and I have been in many places like: Italy, Portugal, Germany, Ireland, France, US and Belgium. My parents and I try to travel when we have time for it because we all love it.

I also like hanging out with my friends, sometimes my school friends and other times with my basketball friends. With my school friends I normally go shopping, with my basketball friends I normally watch matches from the club I play.

Unfortunately, my summer friends don't live near me so I don’t see them during the winter and if I see them it is only onces.

 In the summer I go to a small town on the coast called Gorliz, this town is also in the Basque Country. There I have many friends and my cousins also go there during the summer so I spend a lot of time with them. There, I surf or play soccer but I also relax at the beach, when the weather is good enough. The town is not so big so I know most of the people from there and that is good because when something happens you talk to someone you know.

 I would like to improve my English skills and also learn about American cultures. I want to meet new people too.
