How do I pay?
Currently, all payments are made in cash directly to the host families.
How can I overcome the language barrier?
Very good point. We select our hosts on the condition that at least one person in the family speaks English. Many of them are not proficient or fluent in foreign languages, but communicating with unfamiliar groups is part of the beauty of traveling, too. However, in this regard, we offer the following solutions:
- translate.google.com — By using this site and writing in any language, you can translate your text into a fairly extensive list of other languages. Normally, locals from many countries use it.
I have other plans on the same day. Can I adjust the event time?
You're an honored guest, and you'll be treated as such. Locals are very accommodating and will make efforts to ensure you're comfortable. While the event is scheduled from X:XX PM to Y:YY PM, they are flexible! You decide how long you want to stay and participate. Simply communicate with the hosts to coordinate the arrival time.
Can I take videos and photos?
Absolutely! In fact, we encourage you to capture quality photos and videos to reminisce about later. We appreciate user-generated content, so please tag us in anything you share @likelocal.io!
