The cost of living can stack up very quickly when interning in London. Accommodation, food and travel costs are probably making you question if it is worth the ensuing dept – even if you are paid.
Room for Tea may be able to help. Describing itself as a new kind of home-sharing network, Room for Tea connects guests in need of short-term, affordable accommodation in London with hosts who have spare capacity in their clean, comfortable homes.
The network is open to all, however, Room for Tea states that it’s motivation is to help aspiring interns and apprentices access affordable accommodation in London during their dream career.
It also believe’s that if a host can easily find reliable, friendly and courteous guests to welcome into their homes without long-term
commitment, they might have: a new friend in the making, a very grateful guest who is willing to help out around the house, and more disposable income to spend on the finer things inlife; be that treating the grand-children, fine dining or just keeping the heating on for an extra hour or two.
If you are considering an internship in London why don’t you see if roomfortea.com [@roomfortea] can help you.
