Community Guidelines
Fostering a culture of curiosity and appreciation
Our purpose is to create meaningful connections, and community is at the center of it. We need your help to create a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for everyone.
We expect all community members to follow these guidelines. It means adhering to these guidelines while on Zhoola platform/website, social media or spaces, or traveling on one of the trips booked at Zhoola or interacting with community members including travelers, hosts, and guides.

- Show kindness. Empathize with others and assume the best intent from others.
- Show respect. Treat others as you would like to be treated.
- Be inclusive. Celebrate your uniqueness and welcome others to do the same.
- Be specific and intentional. Communicate clearly.
- Be responsible. Own up to your actions.
- Avoid derogatory or unfriendly language.
- Be aware of breaching these guidelines.
