生活就像一顆巨石。
日復一日、毫無變化的生活，沉重得讓人喘不過氣。
但是，當你有心做出改變，用力地踢這巨石一腳，
他滾動起來所產生的能量，足以擦撞出美麗的火花。
你準備好來「踢‧生活背包客棧」重新定義你的生活了嗎？
We believe travel is an essential element of life, and so are many other various lifestyles. Thus, we are trying to incorporate every little good bit of life, blend all of them into our space, so what you experience here may be more than just a good night of sleep, and essence of different lifestyles.
Our staff are talented with different specialties, such as Korean, Spanish, Cantonese, Chinese literature, photography, Muay Thai… and of course, chatting and partying.
We are hoping our diverse interests and hobbies may help you to discover more about Taiwanese culture and lifestyles, more than sightseeing and visiting attractions. Moreover, we are also looking forward to discover more about your culture, so please come and share with us.
【換宿方式】
我們希望你們不是純粹來「打工」換宿，
而是以你們的「專業」來換宿。
不論你的專長是寫文章推廣背包客棧、變魔術跟房客互動、
或是願意親自下廚幫員工打理三餐、跟房客分享廚藝…等，
我們都非常歡迎！
當然，如果你的專長就是打掃，
我們也很歡迎你來一起為背包客打造一個更乾淨、舒適的環境！
We are looking for…
We are looking for people who are talented in art or photography, and people who are willing to simply do the housekeeping and cleaning job.
【換宿期間】
若是有特殊專長，換宿時間可依專案所需討論。
純粹處理房務跟接待的話，最短需配合10晚，能配合較長時間者優先考慮。
Duration
For who are talented in art, design or photography:
We’d like to exchange free accommodation with your project. The length of accommodation and the number of projects to be exchanged are negotiable. Please feel free to ask and bargain with your talent.
For who are interested in simple housekeeping and cleaning:
Minimum length of stay is 10 days.
【工作時間與休假天數】
若是有特殊專長，換宿時間可依專案所需討論。
純粹處理房務跟接待的話，每天打掃的時間會是早上10點~下午2點，約4個小時。
第一天報到時只會大概介紹環境約15~20分鐘，介紹完後即可自由活動。
第二天開始工作，而最後一天亦須完成工作後才可離開。
每滿7晚，可以有2天休假，未滿7天則沒有休假。
例一：1號報到，8號離開，共計7晚，可以有2天休假。第一天報到沒有工作，加上2天休假，等於停留8天7夜，實際工作天數5天，3天自由活動。
例二：1號報到，13號離開，共計12晚，滿7晚但未滿14晚，還是只有2天休假。第一天報到沒有工作，加上2天休假，等於停留13天12夜，實際工作天數10天，3天自由活動。
例三：1號報到，15號離開，共計14晚，滿14晚可以有4天休假。第一天報到沒有工作，加上4天休假，等於停留15天14夜，實際工作天數10天，5天自由活動。
…以此類推。
排假事先跟老闆討論一下，只要不是在客滿又人力不足時放假，基本上都OK~ 🙂
Working Hours and Days
For who are interested in simple housekeeping and cleaning:
– Minimum length of stay is 10 days.
– Daily working hour is from 10am to 2pm
– 2 days off a week.
【寫文章換宿】
如果當天房客不多，工讀生或小幫手人力充足，不需要你做房務時，可以用寫文章來換休假~
文章內容可以有兩種題材：
1. 找一個台中的景點，或是排出一日遊的行程，然後去玩~
玩的同時，記錄下所需大眾交通以及實際交通時間，然後整理成一份10~20張照片+500字左右的遊記或心得。
會發布在我們的網誌上給其他房客參考~
2. 換宿結束可以寫一篇這段時間的心得。
不論是在這邊遇到了什麼人、碰到了什麼事、學會了什麼、體驗到了什麼、覺得老闆很帥或是很嘰歪…等，全部都可以寫。 XD
Exchange with article
If there are enough helpers, you may write an article on our blog to exchange for a day-off. The subject is pretty open, but basically, it should either fit in either of the following two categories:
1. Something about Taichung; whether food, culture, people, attractions or anything you think interesting about Taichung.
2. A personal reflection about the experience in T-Life Hostel; who you met, what have your experienced, what you think about the space…etc. Any thoughts about this space and experience is fine.
【住宿環境】
住宿會安排一間雙人房給你，兩張單人床或一張上下舖，但可能會需要跟另外一位小幫手睡同一間。
Accommodation
Volunteers will be arranged to sleep in a 2-Bed private room with 1 bunk bed. May need to sleep with another volunteer in the same room if needed.
【三餐及伙食】
沒有供膳，但老闆跟小幫手們偶爾會自己下廚，如果不嫌棄的話可以一起吃~ 🙂
或是你願意煮給大家分享也都可以~~
老闆偶爾會請客，但請不要抱持太大期望！ XD
