Work Exchange Application

Not feeling great? Maybe it's time to step out of your comfort zone!

Warning! Don't come to Taichung expecting easy transportation—it's not a city with a convenient metro system!
It takes one hour from the train station to Kuang Kuang Hostel. Before you find yourself, find Kuang Kuang!

Kuang Kuang Hostel may not have beach babes in bikinis, but it has the most beautiful sunsets at Gaomei Wetlands.
Taichung has Qingshui, but no cliffs.
Taichung has Donghai, but you can't surf here.
Taichung offers diving—but it'll cost you.
Taichung offers relaxation, but it has a price.
At Kuang Kuang, you can drink without worrying about a designated driver, and play board games without hourly fees.
We don't have fancy decor, we don't serve breakfast or dinner.
What we have are cool people, and no salary to support you.
What we offer is sincerity!

If you've accidentally been fired and need time to think about your future, Kuang Kuang might just be the place for you.
We need your time.
At Kuang Kuang, we have:

‧ A multitasking Boss

‧ A lovely Miss

‧ A food-loving butler

‧ The Fantuan Princess

‧ And you!

We don't ask for much, just that you're passion! 🙌

If you decide to apply, here's what you need to know

🏠 Minimum exchange duration: 14 days !

❓Q&A：

Q1：If I apply from 12/16 to 12/31, but want to stay until 1/7, can I?

A1：Yes! You can extend, but not shorten.

Q2：How are the 7-day pre and post exchange calculated?

A2：If you apply for 12/16-12/31, you can choose 12/16-12/23 or 12/24-12/31.

Q3：Can I leave after 3 days if my family needs me?

A3：Yes, you can leave! You're still figuring out time management.

Q4：Will leaving early cause any issues?

A4：Yes! It disrupts not only us but also others working with you.

Q5：If I just want to experience 1-2 days and can't adapt, what should I do?

A5：We can treat you like a guest. If you leave within 7 days, you'll need to pay for the overnight stay.

Q6：Will I definitely get the position if I apply?

A6：Not necessarily. We haven't met you in person yet, so we'll judge based on your resume. A detailed and informative resume will increase your chances.
