hey Niesha, How are you? You
hey Niesha,
How are you? You hadn't replied to my last message yet so I was wondering what was going on.
At the moment we're quite busy also and as you can see with the host-requests it doesn't go down soon.
Would be great to hear from you and your plans/ideas.
Haven't a clue how to revise
Haven't a clue how to revise the calender, perhaps come by this afternoon or next week to get a better feel for each other? Let me know, thanks-N
hey - you can revise just by
hey - you can revise just by hitting edit. Should work, let us know if not.
Come by! Yes for sure. Thursday again? We just had an outflux of 4 people but new ones are coming again as you can see on the calendar... & we always have unexpected visitors.
Cool you can be flexible - just come by and check again how things are.
Thursday and I'll come early
Thursday and I'll come early for the cooking!
Hello, sorry to not have
Hello, sorry to not have gotten back any sooner, things have been a bit hectic. My apologies. Yes, I think it would be great to come back and visit with Casa again. The house seemed like such a welcoming place. Though, I'm a bit shy and tend to be quite at first, it was very great meeting everyone. I'd like to see if I could fit in for a little while.-N
hey Niesha, It was great you
hey Niesha,
It was great you were here last Thursday. Maybe you should come again to check in more detail how things work.
As you noticed there isn't much space around and there are some things we kind of expect from people who stay here for a (little) while, such as thinking what is the best situation for everyone, sharing rooms with other people and being highly flexible, being a GREAT host to others when welcoming them in the house and to make them feel comfortable when they come here, help keeping the house clean, thinking of others before thinking of yourself, etc.
Staying in casa can be quite challenging and is an adventure in itself. As you can also see with the forthcoming host-requests, it might get pretty busy and that's also why we expect flexibility and great hosting practices. Above everything one needs to be fully independent and show the initiative to make things happen.
Living in casa can be very rewarding but also needs commitment to make this rewarding (as much as we can/like to do) for everyone.
wonderful, thanks for the
