To ensure a comfortable, safe, and mutually respectful experience for everyone—our family, other guests, and you—we kindly ask Workawayers to adhere to the following simple rules:

1. 🗣️ Language & Contribution Rules
English Only during Shifts: Please commit to speaking English exclusively during your scheduled contribution hours and shared meal times. This is the core purpose of the exchange.

Commitment: Commit to the agreed schedule of 5 days per week (3- hours per day).

2. 🏠 Household & Respect Rules
Respect the Space: Keep your shared room/bed area tidy. Be mindful of noise levels, especially late at night or early in the morning, as others may be resting.

Common Areas: Please help keep the shared areas (kitchen, living room, bathroom) clean after use. For example, wash your own dishes after snacks or personal cooking.

Water & Electricity: Be mindful of using resources responsibly (e.g., turn off lights and AC when leaving the room). This supports environmental sustainability.
