COMMUNITY GUIDELINES

We all belong, everywhere.

When you travel with Farwest, you become an integral part of our global community – a community that values humanity and is genuinely curious about the diverse ways we connect across cultures, geographies, and personalities. These guidelines are in place to ensure the safety and respect of every individual within our community, including Hosts, Travelers, Guides, and beyond. Our commitment to fostering a healthy environment extends to every member, and we do not tolerate any form of bullying, harassment, discrimination, intimidation, or cruelty by any participant.

Farwest's Commitment to the Community:

1. Transparency and Safety:

•  We encourage open dialogue while prioritizing safety. Any content, including reviews, created with the intent to harm others may be promptly removed.

2. A Complete Story:

• We believe in understanding the full picture when issues arise. Our team reserves the right to investigate any incidents within the Farwest community.

3. Opportunity for Growth:

• Assuming best intentions, we provide space for individuals to rectify actions in the wake of guideline violations. Farwest may explore probationary steps for minor violations when appropriate.

What We Do Not Tolerate:

• Harassment, bullying, hate speech, violence, or any negative behavior based on personal characteristics.
