Dear Host family, My name is Lada, and I am so excited about the opportunity to be part of your family while I study in the United States. Thank you for opening your home to me and I look forward to getting to know you and sharing my experience and cultures. I come from a beautiful city in Russia, known for its rich history and stunning architecture. In my free time, I enjoy sports especially volleyball and basketball. I love cooking and am excited to share some traditional Russian recipes with you, like borscht and blini(Russian pancakes), if you would like. I am also fond of fashion and beauty. And I like to visit beautiful cultural places like, theatre, museums, musicals and exhibitions. At the same time, I’m eager to learn more about American culture and traditions. I was once in Italy and that was such an amazing experience for me. One of my biggest passions is travelling and experiencing different cultures and understanding how people think differently around the world. I am a responsible and adaptable person who values kindness, good communication and respect for people. I am willing to do my part to help around the house. Whether it’s helping with chores or taking part in family activities and will definitely contribute positively to your household I can’t wait to meet you and hope we will create many wonderful memories together. Thank you again for giving me this opportunity, and I am excited about this experience with your family Warm regards, Lada
