I want to write that I want internet, do you think that’s ok? How do I phrase that? And what else do you think I should write there?

Also, there’s a question about hobbies. Let’s say I make websites for money, how would you phrase that as a hobby?

Your hobby is "website design".

You can say internet if you want, but I wouldn’t even bother. It’s pretty unlikely not to have internet. Usually special requests would be something more like "Family without dogs as I am mindly afraid of dogs" or something, not little stuff like internet that you are likely to have anyway. I have a friend in Japan who has no internet at home, but she is by far the exception — most exchangers have internet. Granted, it might not be fast, 100% reliable, or wireless, but chances are very good you will have it. My exchange program, Rotary, mostly communicates with students through email, and the only letter I have received was a copy of what I got in an email. (I say this to make the point that the likelihood of exchangers having internet means that important communication will be done online.)
