Rules

Friendly Reminders for Our Volunteers

- How long will you stay ? :
We want your experience to stay fresh and exciting! That's why your stay will be capped at one month. But if you love it and we do too, we may consider extending it or inviting you back.

- Communication is key!
We use Telegram to stay connected—be sure to check private messages regularly, as well as the staff and community group, to stay updated. Revolut is also good to have.

- Ending your stay early:
If something's not working out, whether it's us or you, we can agree to part ways. Just give us a heads-up. We also reserve the right to end your stay if responsibilities aren't met, house rules are broken, or anything in this agreement isn't followed.
