Dear host family

I am Valentina Urrego Rodríguez, I am 20 years old. I am from Colombia I am from the city of Fugasugá, known as the garden city of Colombia, let me tell you about my land, since I was little I was born and grew up on a farm on the outskirts of my city with many animals among my favorite horses and dogs, beautiful landscapes and good people, I lived on the farm with my parents and my two brothers, since the death of my father a beautiful person full of love who instilled in me many nice things, my mother raised me and my brothers with a lot of sacrifice and love, he is a great learning for us, she is our pride and motivation, since I was little I remember that my parents loved taking my brothers and me to enjoy these activities such as tennis, painting, skating and horse riding, one of them And what I owe to highlight is (equine therapy) since on the farm we use horses and that was one of the sports that we liked the most because we help children with good emotional development, promoting social activities and social skills. al and communicative, teaching them to relate to other classmates while stimulating memory and generating self-confidence, also reducing anxiety and depression.

In my free time I really like to travel, I like to drive long trips and enjoy the landscapes, I love music I like to go to the gym, play tennis and volleyball I love to share with my family and friends going for a walk, camping, going to the beach horseback riding and making bonfires, I like to live in constant learning my mind never stops dreaming.

After I finished high school, I started studying English. I have always liked languages, and my dream has always been to study my degree in Canada. I would like to study cosmetology. I have always been very independent, responsible and disciplined. I started as a volunteer at Baby Soul. spa an incredible place that caters to babies and children between 2 months and 36 months, where we develop water activities in a small tub with a spa function, where in the warm water the baby relaxes his muscles and enjoys the gentle movement of his body. it helped to perform swimming movements and this helped the baby to walk and swim more easily, also to increase his lung capacity and to develop his psychomotor ability. We carry out early stimulation workshops, painting workshops, and stimulation through aromatherapy massages, we carry out activities to stimulate your senses and help you identify different textures such as smooth, rough and wavy, these and many more activities, I lived this experience 6 months ago and I could say that it was one of the best experiences. I love children and being able to help them grow healthier and stronger is a source of pride for me.

After that beautiful experience, I started my trip to Malta, Europe, where I lived alone for 1 year learning English and discovering new amazing places. it is a very good way to meet new people and make very good friends from other countries, being away from home and dealing with very different people from different cultures helped me grow as a person to be more independent and responsible, in malta I had the opportunity to take care of a friend's baby they are from France, rym is 8 months old and she is an adorable girl, my tasks were to prepare the bottles, feed her, with her I also put into practice what I learned in the spa because I taught her to know the textures and stimulate their senses, I feel that just as we teach our little ones we also learn a lot from them, I am very excited because I know that I will be able to share a very important experience with children, which is one of the most beautiful stages of childhood, and to be able to help their growth makes me very proud.

I like to eat healthy, I love to cook and try new flavors but I also love to make banana cakes, pizzas, chocolate cookies, brownies, cheesecakes and fruit smoothies, I find it very entertaining to teach children how to prepare fun desserts and smoothies.
I am very excited with the opportunity to meet you and be part of your family to share new experiences together, thank you for taking the time to read my letter, I wrote it with a lot of love.

I hope to hear from you




with love



Valentine
