Program Details

Important things for a host to have: generally very flexible, I love a good view, good cell/wifi service, very clear understanding of the food situation and expectations of working hours ( I am generally fine to work all day, but being clear with this being the case if so), a positive working environment. I work best when there is fewer workawayers (generally introverted prefer my own company if given a choice, but get along great with people!).


Activities & Shift

engineering, or language


Rules

I appreciate honest communication, kindness, and shared experiences. I believe volunteering and traveling are wonderful ways to grow as a person while also bringing something positive to others.
