Housing is a premium in The Landing. It is a case by case scenario. Depending on your requirements(creature comforts)that you can (or cannot)live without will determine your options.

WORK EXCHANGE AT A HOSTEL CHAIN ALL OVER INDIA!
JOBS ABROAD – Posted 12/7/2016
Zostel is India’s first chain of backpackers’ hostels, here to revolutionize the way India travels! The home ground for people who are passionate about travel, Zostel is where you get to meet travelers from all over the world, chill, exchange stories and have the experience of a lifetime! Offering centrally-located, international-standard and affordable accommodation for people who are young (at heart), Zostel whips up the perfect brew that will leave you wanting more! More travel, more fun, more awesomeness – that’s Zostel for you. Join them for a memorable time!
They need traveler volunteers to spread the happiness at their hostels.
They have a fully functional team taking care of the hostel and running it very successfully, however they need traveler interns to add value in following areas:
1. Interact with other travelers in the hostel, help with basic questions about the city, train bookings, events, facilities in the hostel etc. People who have manned the reception before could be a great fit! Manning the Front desk and helping the staff communicate even better in English is the name of the job.
2. Show other travelers around the city. Help organize and conduct tours or special communal activities such as yoga classes, paint nights, Bollywood screenings etc.
3. Paint the hostel (If possible) and make it even more beautiful. Should have past / current work to reference.
4. Write Blogs – Folks who have a live blog need apply, or past writing work to reference!
Other Must Haves:
1. Should be able to speak and write well in English to be able to make sure that they are able to communicate with the team.
2. Should be passionate about exploring and hence should be able to gather knowledge about the city very quickly. They are looking for someone who loves to walk, read and observe and then share with other people, else there is no point in working at a travelers hostel.
Also, Please note:
1. They are very particular about the timing of work. Please do report for your shift on time. Late reporting to work is highly discouraged. The shift timings, once decided mutually, will usually not be altered unless there is a pressing need at either end.
2. Please make sure that the tasks that they agree to complete at the beginning of the internship are brought to a logical conclusion. If in a few days after the allotment of the task you feel that the task needs more time, please communicate, else they will assume that the agreed time is sufficient for the task.
3. They place a lot of value on our internship program and are very serious about it. They have had some great work come out of this program and unfortunately, have also have had some non performing interns, which was extremely sad. They hope you will strive to be part of the first category rather than the second.
4. Your contribution to the hostel will be reviewed on a weekly basis, with feedback given for improvement/ modification. If they feel that you are not fit for the task assigned, they reserve the right to modify your task and change your shift timings accordingly. In extreme instances of continued under performance/ non performance, they reserve the right to ask you to leave in the middle of the internship at 1 week notice.
5. During the internship, they may request you to move from one dorm to another if ever the need arises. However, they strive our best to avoid such situations.
6. You should be enthusiastic to learn about the city you are working in. Ignorance about the city even after two weeks of interning is just an indicator that you are not a traveler at heart. So go ahead and use the rest of your day to know the city you are working in so that you can guide the other travelers
7. Please note that they expect 25 hours week and give out internship engagements for minimum a 15 Days, extendable with mutual consent. However, please note that in case you decide to end the internship before 15 days, you will be required to pay for the services availed at the hostel as a normal guest would. This is a well thought out policy to be able to clearly differentiate between committed interns and eager travelers.
They offer meals and accommodation in exchange for 25 hours of work a week with a minimum 15 day commitment. TO APPLY or find out out more check out the Zostel web site.

TEACH YOGA AT A FREEDIVING SCHOOL IN HONDURAS! Posted 10/15/2016
Yoga Utila began as a way to share the practice and teachings of Yoga with the community: to locals, expats, and travelers, on the great little island of Utila. Last year, they teamed up with Freedive Utila to offer sunset yoga classes on their dock and make yoga classes more accessible for freedivers and scuba divers from few of the busiest dive centers of the island located just next door.
With Yoga Utila, you will have the opportunity to benefit from the good reputation already built by the previous dedicated teachers. Good reviews on TripAdvisor, yoga mats, blocks, straps, blankets, two locations available for you to teach , your own schedule, and of course everything that comes from life on a tropical island. But anybody who wants to apply for this job offer needs to know a little bit more about this island.
Utila is a party place where backpackers come to do their scuba diving certifications because it’s cheaper than other places on the “gringo trail.” There’s also a big community of expatriates and some of them were regulars in yoga classes. There was also a previous teacher that was teaching kids yoga, and although Ashtanga has always been one of the most popular classes, there is a place for every style of yoga. Even if Utila’s crowd is mostly scuba divers that dive, party, and do it again and again, you will find at Freedive Utila an oasis for anybody who wants to take a break from the party scene. They don’t sell alcohol, and this is a non-smoking environment. They also have a smoothie / salad bar on their dock were people come at lunch time, and they are next door to the best coffee shop on the island. If you are sociable, responsible and good at promoting your classes and keeping up with social media, you will be happy here.
REQUIREMENTS:
Sober, autonomous, and dedicated, experienced teacher, comfortable in the backpacker world.
ACCOMMODATION:
Freedive Utila is also a small guesthouse. They have few private rooms and two dorms. The priority goes to their freediving students, but if there are rooms available, they will be able to charge you the same price as they ask for instructors staying long term. Don’t worry, it’s really easy to find accommodation in Utila, and they will help you with it.
