Job Description
Homespitality.com is a start-up company. We want to create the first “sharing economy” peerto-
peer marketplace where tourists have the opportunity to enjoy, a pleasant and affordable
accommodation as well as get in touch with locals and their culture, through a variety of
activities while the hosts would be happy to offer their houses and provide direct services
according to traveller’s needs and desires. The services would include: accommodation,
transportation, food, activities and a variety of other experiences, in order the travellers to
explore the “real hospitality”. Optimally, the travellers would discover authentic cultural
experiences by connecting with local people, which in turn by offering their houses and/or
their time, knowledge and skills would accordingly earn some money, in order to cover their
needs and/or fulfil their aspiration to contribute to the sharing of their culture.
