Workaway, Help Exchange and Volunteer Opportunity in Taichung, Taiwan

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.
