Housing, Food, Transport & Location
Housing
Our international volunteers and interns come from a variety of different backgrounds. Accordingly, we have identified a handful of great housing options during your time abroad. From coliving apartments where you share common spaces with young professionals to homestays and serviced apartments, we can help you choose a housing option that's close to your placement and according to your lifestyle.
Food
Your first welcome meal is on us! After that, depending on your housing arrangement, you may cook meals, eat out or have an in-house cook who prepares breakfast and dinner. Most volunteers/interns like to eat out with their co-workers during lunch as well as on the weekends when they are often traveling.
Transportation
Depending on where your placement is in relation to your housing, you may choose to walk, take an auto rickshaw, Uber or Ola app, or a bus to work everyday. We generally recommend interns stay no more than 30 minutes away from workplace in order to reduce commute times. Our team will help orient you to the transportation system in your first few days so that you feel comfortable to try it on your own.
