What StayLance Members say:
My family and I have had a lot of Gap Year travelers come to stay over the years, and we have grown to love the experience of meeting new people and learning from them. It brings the world into our home and we`re hoping StayLance will help us continue to do that, whilst also getting some help with different bits around the house.
Hello everyone, I decided to take a time off work. I was signing up to the StayLance community and decided to volunteer so started to browse Hosts. I found this wonderful Host Horst with this interesting work exchange in Costa Rica looking for child care and I send a connect to him. He was connecting back and we agreed on stay. I had the time of my life in Costa Rica!
I`ve just graduated from my masters in digital marketing but I`m not quite ready to hit the 9-5 life. Instead, I`m hoping StayLance will allow me to use my skills to see as many countries as I can while I work and travel. I also enjoy playing guitar and singing with my friends. We like to have jam sessions and try out new songs. When I travel, I love bringing my guitar with me and playing with new people and trying different styles of music from around the world.
I`ve been living alone for a couple of years now, since my boy is grown up now and moved out. I`m hoping StayLance will keep my house full of wonderful volunteers and we can share things together. I am a big fan of flowers!. I have been vegan for two years now and just really love all things food. Trying new restaurants, recipes, I would love to meet people who are also interested in cooking delicious vegan food and are up for experimenting in the kitchen.
