Remember: We're volunteers, so we're not available 24/7!
DO NOT come to our address without calling us first! Sometimes there's no one here to let you in, and we want to make sure we can properly welcome you 🤗
If you're in the area and waiting for us, you're totally welcome to sit at the nearby Starbucks! Here's what you should know:
We don't have 24/7 phone service because we're a volunteer-based project. Please be patient with our response times - we promise we'll get back to you! ❤️
You cannot just show up at our apartments or main location (we have a few different locations of the project) because sometimes no one is there to let you in. Here's how it works:
We cannot always host everyone and it definitely doesn't help if you just wait outside our address without following the process. This is actually a red flag for us! 🚩
We won't be able to take people who didn't read and understand this properly because:
Just ask and be patient! 🙏
You're VERY welcome to call and visit anytime! This is actually what our project is all about! 🎉
Our Vision: We created a space where socializing is the primary goal. No hidden commercial interests, no cult-like atmosphere - just people connecting with people in an open environment. 🫂
Especially for locals: If you're from Bern or the area and found us on Google Maps, we're SO excited you're here! This place is for everyone - locals, travelers, anyone who wants to connect with others. We welcome people of all ages and backgrounds in an open atmosphere where everyone brings their own unique flavor to the community. 🌍
In a world full of social events with hidden commercial interests, we offer something different: a space purely dedicated to human connection. Many places offer socializing as a secondary benefit - a language event, a gaming bar, a religious gathering - always with some other primary goal behind it.
Here, everyone brings their own "flavor" and contributes something interesting. The free accommodation is just our hook to create a crowd where people want to socialize and "not feel like they're alone in this world and just enjoy the company of other people." ❤️
Even if we're at full capacity for sleeping, we love having visitors! Maybe we can't offer a place to sleep that night, but you're always welcome to come hang out, meet people, and see if this community is a place for you. Just always keep a backup plan! 🎒
Once you've had a call with us, remember to:
