Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
As a volunteer, more likely you'll stay in a place with a separate room, but a shared kitchen and other facilities. It may be also a room in a dormitory. It’s a great chance to meet new people, make friends, and immerse yourself in community life. Volunteers will receive a food allowance, giving them the flexibility to buy and prepare their meals. Sustainability is an important part of Radi Vidi Pats, and cycling is the main way to get around, we will arrange a bicycle for you if it's comfortable to get around like this! However, if needed, we can also arrange a monthly bus or tram ticket.
