Heidi Has a House for Rent

I am a single female who has never hosted an exchange student in the past, but I do have the space available. I reside in a town called Visalia, CA. The good thing about this area is that it is directly in the center of California, so it is only a couple hours in each direction; south to LA, west to the beaches, east to Las Vegas, or north to San Francisco. Visalia is located in a town that centers around agriculture; however, I live across the street from a couple major grocery stores, gas stations, various restaurants, and shopping centers. My neighborhood is very safe, and I know most of my neighbors. I can provide the following: - a private bedroom (bed/desk/smart tv/front window & closet space) - private bathroom - 3 meals a day: I will stock the refrigerator with whatever types of food you prefer, and I would like to cook & bake for you; however, you should probably prepare your own meals if you have special diet restrictions or allergies. - Backyard has a built-in pool, and a bbq grill/patio area, which you are welcome to use. - WiFi/high speed internet (will also provide login access to Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon Prime while you are staying here) - Some transportation can be provided (depending up on my work schedule). Otherwise Uber & Lyft both operate around here w/short wait times. I have used both myself. I also live near bus stations. EXTRA INFO ABOUT ME: - Main language is English, but I do speak a little Spanish, and am interested in learning more languages. - I currently work for the State of CA, Dept of Corrections, and work Monday-Friday, 6:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. I have weekends off. I also run a side business in eCommerce sales. You will have access to high speed internet here. - I enjoy movies, outdoor activities such as swimming and hiking, I love shopping, fashion, and art. I especially enjoy engaging in digital art (photoshop, etc.) - I am happy to be your host and travel with you if you would like to see the various popular sites of CA. However, if you prefer to travel alone, I am happy to just give you suggestions and help you with navigation/directions. - I have 2 cats, who mostly prefer to be outside, but I do have a pet door installed so they do come in sometimes. They ignore strangers so you would probably not see them much.
