Volunteer: Coliving Community Host

Who are we 

To Hani (han:travelers inn, 'happy'' and ''carefree'' in Arabic!…) is a Coliving & Coworking space in Paramytha village, 12km from Limassol, Cyprus. We are based in a charming 100+ years old historic building, recently revived into the first coliving space on the island. To Hani welcomes digital nomads and remote workers from all over the world who make To Hani their home for some weeks to months on end to live, be productive, connect, and explore the island. 

Our mission is to change the way people live, work and play. It's simple. We believe that spaces become better when shared with people and people lead inspiring lives when connected with a like-minded community. 

If you are looking for your next volunteering opportunity in exchange for free rent, a car, experience, and island explorations, and are excited about taking the responsibility of helping us run the coliving space and be part of a digital nomad community on the island, this role might very well interest you. This opportunity can come with bags full of fun moments, socializing, inspiration, and learning. If you think you have what it takes and are open to this new adventure, we’d love to hear from you, so read ahead… 

Who are you (couples are more than welcome - Digital Nomads and Remote Workers could be a great fit. If you are looking for your next coliving free rent space in exchange for some hours of work :) )

• You are a natural people-driven who loves building communities, understands people, and would like to be part of our coliving.

• Loves to be part of a community & enjoys bringing people together.

• Understands the importance of communication within the community

• Helper/Problem Solver. Likes to be an extra pair of hands when needed and understands what it takes to go that extra mile to make the home feel welcoming and comfortable for our members

• You take pride in being part of an organized space. You understand that you may be involved in cleaning and tidying up

• Loves to experience and be part of new cultures. You love getting to know people from all over the world

• You have a good eye and love to take pictures/videos and you are active on social media. We always need fresh content for our Instagram, Facebook, and website

• Happy to commit to 20 - 25 hours a week. If you meet all other requirements but you are currently unable to commit full-time, let's still talk, we may find ways to make it work!

• Excited to relocate to Cyprus in October and November.

• International Drivers license is a must (we provide the car ;)) 

• Fluent in English 

• Are you a digital nomad? You are most welcome to join us as a digital nomad. We love it if you are already a digital nomad and looking for your new coliving home. If you are a digital nomad and have a regular job/other commitments, but meet all other requirements, we are more than happy to accommodate and decide on a mutual agreement. If you are not a digital nomad and are looking for a full-time commitment, this is still for you

You’ll be having fun on most days. Having fun comes with responsibilities

• Responsible for running the day-to-day building of To Hani. Running a co-living space is very different every day. You will have to be flexible and able to solve any issues that arise. Don't expect routine. On some days, you may have to call in the plumber, and on some other days, you will be responsible for arranging the logistics of a fun wine-tasting weekend excursion, board games night, or a yoga class. This is part of the co-living fun! 

• Coordinating, and welcoming guests: You’ll be available for guests, and make them feel at home on arrival and during their stay. You’ll provide them with all the information they’ll need to feel comfortable within the community and on the island 

• Helping around the house, and sometimes this may involve cleaning and getting your hands dirty. You are willing to participate in the day-to-day various housekeeping projects to ensure the space is kept in good condition. We have a professional cleaner who joins us twice a week and we encourage a clean-up-after-yourself culture, however, on a day-to-day, you’ll have to ensure that the space is kept clean and tidy 

• You’ll be responsible for reporting any problems that arise

• If you have the DIY skills, it's a plus!

• You are able to move to Cyprus on October 1st and stay on the island for 2 months

• You'll take care of our pets onsite :)

What do you get in exchange:

• We offer an ensuite room at the coliving+car. It's a basic room with a double bed and its own shower. The room is at the extension of the building.

• A small budget for on-the-ground community activities and excursions

• You’ll make To Hani your home: You’ll be staying onsite in a simple private double ensuite room and you’ll have access to all our spaces (fully equipped kitchen, work-friendly space, common living areas, and large gardens). You’ll basically get everything a normal guest would get. It’s your home after all! 

• We’ll give you a car to use for community excursions, grocery shopping, and your own private time escapes

• Networking and building connections. You’ll join our digital nomad/remote work community, meet & socialize with people from all over (our guests), whilst working, living, and exploring the island 

• Being part of a growing coliving community 

• Hours and working days are open to discussion 

Deadline to APPLY: We would like to hear from you by September 16th.

A little more about us:

Your new home

To Hani has kept its charm and a character that takes us back to those early 19th century travel days on the island. We love and admire old buildings and this is one of the main reasons we chose to bring life back to To Hani whilst preserving its character and historic charm. 

Our coliving spaces are thoughtfully redesigned in such a way as to help bring people together to live, work, connect, unwind, learn, create, and play. Our large spaces allow our guests to keep a good balance of privacy and alone time while having a sense of connection and belonging to the community. 

To Hani Coliving consists of 9 cozy en suite bedrooms, a large communal area, an open plan work-friendly space, a fully-equipped master chef-like kitchen, and a large outdoors with a hammock or two, fruit trees (get ready to taste our seasonal oranges, lemons, apricots, and mandarins). Our outdoors are ideal for resting, working, creating, and exercising during those long spring and summer days. Our winter days are best spent in our cozy communal living area next to the fireplace. 

Who’s in the community

Our guests are multicultural professionals, creatives, entrepreneurs, remote workers, digital nomads, explorers, seekers, life lovers. People join us from all corners of the world from different professional backgrounds and stories (this is exactly what we love!). We all have one thing in common, we come together, to experience living and working from an inspiring place, explore island life, and be open to learning and growing from one another, whilst working on our projects, start-up ideas, and work commitments.  

To Hani Coliving facilitates and hosts co-created activities, workshops, skillshares, family-style dinners, and island weekend excursions. Our community calendar is co-created and depends on the group of people joining us at any given time.
