Program Details
Welcome to our homestay in Calgary! This program is designed for travelers looking for a peaceful and grounded home base while exploring Alberta. As someone who has spent time volunteering in hostels across Europe, I understand firsthand what makes a great work-exchange experience. In exchange for your help keeping the house clean and organized, you'll receive comfortable accommodation and regular, dedicated yoga instruction to help you unwind and stay balanced. We value cultural exchange, mutual respect, and creating a relaxing environment for everyone.
Activities & Shift
Your main focus will be general household upkeep to ensure a comfortable space. Daily activities may include sweeping or vacuuming, cleaning the kitchen after meals, taking out the trash, keeping the bathroom tidy, and occasional deeper cleaning or organizing tasks.
We typically ask for about 3-4 hours of help per day, 5 days a week (roughly 15-20 hours total), leaving you plenty of free time to explore the city, hit the local trails, or head out to the Rockies. Yoga sessions will be scheduled collaboratively based on our mutual availability.
Rules
Keep it Tidy: Please clean up after yourself in common areas, especially in the kitchen after cooking.
Quiet Hours: Please respect quiet hours between 10:00 PM and 7:00 AM to ensure everyone gets a good night\'s rest.
No Smoking: Smoking is not permitted inside the house.
Communication: Open communication is key! Please let me know if you need anything, have questions about the tasks, or if your schedule changes.
Good Vibes: Bring a positive attitude and a Yoga Mat, respect for the shared space, and a willingness to learn.
