  Description

  Hello!
  My partner and I are 23 years old and live 15-20 minutes from downtown St Louis.
  We are very active people and love to go out and hike, play disc golf, try new restaurants/bars, and hangout with our friends and local family.
  Our home is a 3 bedroom 1 bath with a finished basement and fenced in yard with a deck.
  High speed internet available, we both enjoy PC games, so we have good internet!
  You will have a private room and share the bathroom with us.
  We will invite you to meals with us, but we might not cook every night, so in those cases you will be in charge of your own meals. However, you are welcome to any food in the home! We would also love to try a traditional dish from your home if you feel like cooking :)
  We are just looking for some basic help around the house with animal care, cleaning, and cooking if you're interested. In the summertime, garden/yard help is an option too!
  We do also have a few house projects we plan to do as well, so if your experienced in any sort of carpentry or reno in general, those kind of projects can be planned for instead of the other options :)
  Work, regardless which category, will be minimal and 2-3 hours a day max! We more-so are interested in meeting people from around the world! Our availability to travel is limited right now, so I figured hosting people from around the world is the next best thing!
  Open to individuals or couples :)
  We welcome everyone. No discrimination of any sort is welcomed in my home. Just be a kind, genuine person and we will get along just fine<3
  Alcohol & 420 friendly
  We have two big dogs and a cat! So this is not the place for anyone scared of (or allergic to) animals. They will of course be kept out of your room unless you choose to let them in! They are all big cuddlers and would love to keep you company if you let them! (Just keep the door shut if you don't with to share your space with our 4-legged family members)

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  St Louis is a city rich with history and culture! There are always events or music festivals to attend. We have a wonderful zoo and aquarium in the city, along with countless other museums!
  My partner and I speak English, so we can help you learn our language.
  My partner is in the tech industry, so he may be able to help you learn some coding skills.
  I work in biopharmaceuticals primarily, but also have a few businesses including: real estate, digital design on etsy, and photography (Newborn) and am happy to help teach any of these skills!
  I am also deaf, and use a hearing aid to hear, so basic ASL can be taught as well :)

We also have a few minor house projects we plan to do as well, so if your interested in that kind of work we can plan for that instead of the other options :)
  Work, regardless which category, will be minimal; we more-so are just interested in meeting people from around the world!
  I have a basic chore chart or todo list that we complete weekly/monthly, so I will just ask that you complete a few tasks a day while you are here!
