The first Urban Crabs meeting!
A nice little group of society members was in Athens last weekend. Here’s a picture of one meeting, kindly organised by Dimitris (Athens).
Amsterdam Home Swapping Restrictions – The Details
Amsterdam will introduce new regulations to limit home exchange. In this article we’ll share the details and why we strongly disagree.
The Urban Crabs Brand Identity & Colors
We are so happy with the work of our designer & illustrator Valia! She created the entire brand identity of Urban Crabs.
What’s Behind the Membership Wall?
Much of our website is off-limits for non-members. We created a short sneak preview video of a swap between actual 2 members.
Extra ❤️ for New Members From “Less Obvious” Destinations
With The Society of Home Office Swappers we make it affordable for more people to travel and live in a different culture for a while.
You Don’t Need a Separate Home Office to Join Us
“Do I need to have a separate home office in my house to join your society?” No. All you need is a table and a good Internet connection.
Not a Hybrid / Remote Worker? Yes You Can Join Us!
Many wrote us “I would love to become a member, but unfortunately I don’t think I can because I’m not a hybrid / remote worker!” Yes you can!
Hang Out, Chat & Co-work 24/7 With Fellow Urban Crab
We’re going to make it very easy to meet up with their fellow Urban Crabs, and (help) organise online & offline co-working sessions.
Introducing Founders Sanne & Bart Van Poll
Introducing the first two members of The Society of Home Office Swappers: Sanne & Bart van Poll (yes, we’re married!)
What Do We Consider a “Workspace”?
As most of our members are digital nomads who will be working from your home, we require all members to have a “home office”. But what’s that?
AirBnb: from sharing economy to rental economy
The popularity of Airbnb has led to many issues. It’s made Airbnb is more an example of the “rental economy” that the “sharing economy”.
The Story Behind Our Name
It’s difficult to come up with a good name for a new start-up. We were surprised that one of the first names we came up ticked all 3 boxes!
Our “Pay What You Can” model
Urban Crabs is a social business. As a member we ask you to pay what you think our service is worth, and only pay what you can afford.
