More details about your skills
Sophie: Ever since I was young I've took on the responsibility of caring for animals, children, plants, etc! I've gotten lots of good feedback telling me I have a very creative presence, as well as an eye for detail and high patience. I use my creativity in my daily life to cook, bake, plus create (visual + mixed media + crochet+lots more!). I am an extremely hard worker; In highschool I joined the International Certificate Program, which offered a language course, sources for global research, and the oppertunity to go to China (which I did and it was an unforgetable expirence). I graduateed from that course with honours and a record of 250Hrs of work and 50Hrs of Swedish education. Some skills I left highschool with that I use on the daily are organizing, public speaking, and researching. Overall I've been told I am a joy to have around and I would love to prove that right with any willing host/hostess :)
Jack: A happy to help attitude, with a great dedication to making sure things are done right. Good with house cleaning, pet maintenance, and being a helping hand wherever I can. I've also been accepted into an engineering program back in Ottawa, so I can give logical and thoughtful input or advice on any personal projects that you might have going on. Lastly I play guitar as well and hope to have a song written about everywhere we visit. Duets/jam sessions are totally possible with musically inclined hosts :).

18 & 18
What else ...
Jack: I have a huge nerd brain, and a super big interest in board games, RPG's, and brain teasers! I find that board games/RPG's like Dungeons and Dragons or Pathfinder can bring a perfect balance of social aspects and puzzle solving that I just love! Outside of those I also have a deeprooted love for guitar and music. Reading about why a song was made or analyzing key choices in theory are also things I love to do, and I am extremely interested in broadening my musical understandings as much as I can. The last thing I want to bring up is my active lifestyle, which I more than thrive in! I have going to the gym as a big priority for myself, and I have 2 jobs in the serving industry. Those combined keep me on my feet all day and night which translates into enjoying sports and a good hike while I'm abroad. I'm more than down for any outdoors activities and would love to explore nature as much as culture while I'm journeying.

Special dietary requirements
Sophie: I do have a gluten intolerance which is pretty easy to live with, and I've also heard that European wheat grains are easier on those with gluten intolerances so I'd love to try the bread/flour anyway.
