【Borderless Station Community App】Your Second Living Room Anytime, Anywhere

Borderless House has always been more than a share house. It’s a place where people from around the world meet, live together, and build connections that feel like family. But staying connected beyond borders, houses, and move-out dates isn’t always easy — and that’s exactly the challenge we wanted to solve.

That’s why we created Borderless Station.

Designed as your “second living room,” Borderless Station helps Borderless Mates — past and present — stay connected anytime, anywhere. With more than 18,000 members across 120 countries, it keeps friendships alive and makes it easier to build new ones, no matter where life takes you next.

In this article, we’ll explore how this new community app supports both current residents and alumni in staying connected, growing together, and continuing their borderless journey.

A quick note: Borderless Station is launching first in Japan. Korea and Taiwan are planned to join the platform in 2026.

What Is Borderless Station? — A Space That Keeps Everyone Connected

Borderless Station is the official community app for everyone who has ever been part of Borderless House — whether you’re currently living in a house or moved out years ago.

Its purpose is simple: to bring Borderless Mates together in one place, no matter where they are. Across Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and more than 120 countries, people continue their journeys, but the desire to stay connected always remains.

Borderless Station offers a comfortable, familiar space where conversations continue naturally. You can reconnect with past housemates, meet people from other cities, and feel part of a global community even after moving out.

With Borderless Station, the relationships and experiences you built don’t fade — they grow with you.

So, what exactly can you do in Borderless Station? Let’s dive into the features that make this community come alive.

Feature 1: DAILY TALK — Small Conversations, Big Connections

DAILY TALK is the heart of Borderless Station — a relaxed, everyday space where conversations begin naturally, just like in a real Borderless House living room.

Here’s how it works and what you can do:

■ Share moments from your day

﹂ A photo from your walk to school
﹂ Something funny your housemate said

■ Ask questions & get quick tips

﹂ “Where’s the best kimchi in Seoul?”
﹂  “Any fun cafés in Sendai?”
﹂ “How do you handle homesickness?”

DAILY TALK turns simple messages into meaningful connections. Even if you’re thousands of kilometers away, this is where the Borderless community continues to feel close.

Feature 2: LANGUAGE EXCHANGE — Learn Languages the Fun Way

LANGUAGE EXCHANGE makes learning languages feel natural and enjoyable. Instead of studying alone, you can match with Borderless Mates who want to practice together — just like finding a study partner in your share house, but on a global scale.

Here’s what you can do inside Language Exchange:

■ Teach your language and learn theirs

﹂ Match with Mates who want to learn your native language
﹂ Exchange Japanese ⇄ Chinese, Korean ⇄ English, or any language you both want to practice

﹂ Pick up learning tips and study advice shared by other Mates inside the app
﹂ Discover language you won’t find in textbooks

■ Connect through cultural exchange

﹂ Learn how locals really speak and communicate
﹂ Share customs, humor, and daily life stories
﹂ Gain new perspectives and build meaningful cross-cultural friendships

With LANGUAGE EXCHANGE, learning becomes a shared journey — one that helps you grow your skills, broaden your world, and build friendships that cross borders.

Feature 3: JOIN EVENTS — Meet People Through Real Moments

JOIN EVENTS lets you discover what’s happening in the community — instantly. You’ll receive real-time updates on upcoming activities and can join with just a tap, whether the event is hosted by Borderless House or created by residents themselves.
Here’s what you can do:

■ Join both official & resident-organized events

﹂ Borderless House cultural nights and community gatherings
﹂ Resident-led meetups, study groups, or casual hangouts
﹂ Small house events and large seasonal activities

■ Meet people through shared experiences

﹂ Casual coffee meetups or bar hopping nights
﹂ City walking tours, jogging sessions, or local food trips
﹂ Hobby sessions or House-to-house meetups

■ Explore events happening across different cities

﹂ Discover activities in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and beyond
﹂ See what’s happening in other Borderless House communities
﹂ And if you’re traveling in that city, you can jump in and join, too

JOIN EVENTS makes it easy to meet people who share your curiosity and values. Whether it’s your first time joining or your tenth, each event is a chance to connect, grow, and build friendships that last.

Feature 4: COMMUNITY QUEST — Build, Contribute, Grow

COMMUNITY QUEST is a new feature currently in development, designed to help Borderless Mates take part in meaningful activities together. It’s all about teamwork, contribution, and stepping into small challenges that create real impact.

Here’s what you’ll be able to do:
﹂ Join or create community-driven activities
﹂ Host or support events
﹂ Grow through shared challenges

COMMUNITY QUEST is being built to encourage collaboration and personal growth — giving residents and alumni more ways to connect, contribute, and grow together.

Choose The Best Locality To Rent A Share House In Taiwan!

If you will hold a meaningful conversation with people belonging from different corners of the world about their likes and dislikes, undoubtedly, you will come across many individuals who will describe traveling to new places as their favorite hobby. Many people will accept that visiting new places inspires them and aids them in learning new things. Some people will also confess that traveling works for them like yoga. It fills them with a new zeal for life, especially, traveling to the countries in the East.

Yes, traveling to the East has emerged as a new obsession for the travel junkies in the past few years. Discovering the East, its way of life, its culture, its habits, and traditions, has turned out to be a new fascination with the common people. Some individuals claim it is so because the East is deeply rooted in the old cultures and values, and that its lifestyle brings content and peace to the human mind and soul. This belief has given birth to the new trend of temporary migration to the East.

Now, one of the many countries situated in the East that has fascinated a lot of people with its customs and traditions, and which has attracted many travelers in the past few years is the country of Taiwan! Yes, Taiwan is an island country that is located in East Asia, and that is popularly known as the “heart of Asia.” This country is loved by migrants so much so that it topped the global rankings for ex-pats to live in the year 2016.

The major reason for this status and popularity enjoyed by the nation includes causes like the cheap and practical lifestyle of the country. People in Taiwan lead a simple and easy life. But still, the country boasts of a remarkable education system and strong infrastructure. In Taiwan, the convenience stores open 24*7, and they are present in every nook and corner of the country. Apart from this, the people here are also very friendly, and they never miss a chance of helping others even when the people in need are strangers to them.

So, if you too are one of these people who are thinking about moving to the East temporarily, then you must consider visiting Taiwan. While you are there, you can look for a share house, where you can stay for the duration of your visit. However, for those of you who are not sure about the localities in Taiwan where you should try to find accommodation, here is a list that you might find useful! Go, check it out?

What are the best localities to rent in Taiwan?

If you are moving to Taiwan and you are looking for a share house for accommodation purposes, then here is the list of localities that you should bother checking out to find a residence. Here you go!

So, you love shopping?

Well, I have met some people during my traveling excursions who describe shopping as a therapeutic act. Now, I might not feel about shopping the same way but who am I to judge? Hence, for those of you who consider yourselves shopping queens, and who would love staying in a locality that is close to a marketplace, I have some recommendations that you would appreciate.

So, for all the shopaholics out there, when you are looking for a share house try searching for one in the Shilin district that is considered to be the largest and the most famous night market in Taiwan. Apart from this place, you can also look for accommodation in the Da’an district that houses some quirky boutiques which sell trendy outfits. The Gongguan and Ximen areas are the two more localities that you can consider while hunting for share house service such as BORDERLESS HOUSE.

Would like to focus on your studies?

Taiwan is home to an extraordinary education system. Every year many people move to this place in search of better education. So, if you are one such people who has moved to this country for getting access to better education, then it makes sense that you would like to stay in a place that is close to your college or university so that you won’t waste much time in commuting between the places.

So, for those you would prefer that, I would recommend finding a share house in the Da’an district of the Taipei city that is home to many educational institutions. You can also consider searching BORDERLES HOUSE in the nearby Gongguan area that is also close to the National Taiwan University. Finding a residence in such places will also give you the benefit of staying with other students.

Want to live a thrilling and exciting life?

If you are one of those people who gets easily bored with leading the same monotonous life every day, you should try finding a place of residence in localities like Ximen or Zhongxiao Fuxing Area. Now, Ximen that stands for West Gate is an exciting area that houses historic Red house theatre. Around the theatre, there are also many bars, meeting places and shops that will keep you entertained. In the Zhongxiao Fuxing Area, on the other hand, you can locate many shopping malls that house some of the biggest brands. So, if you are also a fan of brands and you only like to shop for branded goods, then this is the place that you have been looking for.

However, for those of you, who do not consider shopping or dancing as thrilling enough activities, and who would prefer staying close to arts and culture, maybe you should try researching Shilin as a viable resident locality. Shilin is home to the National Palace Museum and it houses a remarkable collection of Chinese prints and fine arts. Apart from this, the area also has serene gardens and upscale eateries.

So, if you are moving to Taiwan, then these are some localities that you can check out to find a suitable share house for your stay!

All the best!

Why Are Sharehouses The Best Shelter Option When You Are Starting Life In Abroad?

In the present world, borders and boundaries have become fluid. These lines that mark and enclose an area to represent a city, country, or continent, and which primarily only exist on paper are in the present world not as rigid as they used to be earlier. Instead, in the present moment, these boundaries have become porous to allow people to move in and out of a country. This sits true for the borders and boundaries of almost all the countries or continents around the globe.

The Earth presently has become a global space, and all the cities and countries have become a part of its chain. Whether it is for studies or managing businesses, every year we witness people moving across borders. Because of this, it has become a natural occurrence to find citizens of different nationalities living together in a country they were not born or brought up.

But if you have ever traveled overseas, then you would know that living in a new country is not a very pleasant experience especially during the initial days. It is so because when you go to a new place you usually miss your old friends and family, and the previous surroundings terribly. Plus, when you move to a new country you feel like a stranger, and thus, it becomes difficult to blend in.

Mixing-in in a new country is not as easy as it may appear in the first place. We say so because when you go to a new place, you usually don’t know much about the culture or tradition of that place. And because of this, you always feel anxious and stressed in your new surroundings. You are always on your toes observing how other people are behaving so you would not mistakenly do that would hurt or disrespect the sentiments of the natives.

Thus, in such a time when you have freshly moved into a new country, it is considered a good idea to live in a share house. Doing so will help you in many ways. Wondering how that works? Well, in that case, read our next section to find out your answers.

How are share houses helpful in starting a fresh life in a new country?

A sharehouse is a big property that is offered on rent to tenants where many strangers share the same roof. In a share house, you can rent a single room for yourself or you can rent a room that houses 3 to 4 people in total depending upon your needs and requirements. This place is a top shelter choice for people, especially for those who have freshly shifted to a new country because-
It helps you in understanding alien customs.

As we have already established, when you move to a new country, chances are that you will be unfamiliar with its customs and traditions. This can make you anxious while adding to your stress levels. Also, there is this probability that if you did something wrong because of your unfamiliarity with the local customs that the natives find offending or insulting, then you might feel even more alienated and alone. Thus, for this reason, it is a safe choice to live in a share house at least for the initial days because there you are bound to come across many people who will be interested in international exchange.

When you will live with them, such people will help you in learning more about their local culture, while at the same time they will also try to understand your traditions. This healthy exchange will make your life significantly easier. So, if you want to know about the local customs and traditions of a place, its food, its manners, etc. in a friendly way without wasting much time, then share houses should be your top priority while seeking shelter.

It is a borderless accommodation

When you move to a new space how fluently you can speak their local language plays a very important role in deciding the ease with which you will blend in your new surroundings. So, for example, if you have moved to Japan for your further studies and you can fluently speak and write Japanese, then this will probably mean that you will find it easier to navigate Japan as compared to someone who doesn’t even understand Japanese. It is so because when you don’t understand the local language of a place, you find it hard to explain to people your queries or emotions.

Now, in such a scenario, it is wise to find a share house in your new country because in share houses you can probably find residents who are familiar with your language. In this way, your common language can help you in befriending people and it can also help you in learning the local language quite easily. We, BORDERLESS HOUSE, make language exchange easy for you by offering on our website the information about the nationality of its residents. You can even opt to talk to the residents of the share house while requesting a preview of the property.

It offers you easier access to common knowledge

When you shift to a new country, other than the customs, traditions, and language of that place there are many other things that you ought to learn about your new home town. These things include information on the common practices of the new place, knowledge about local shops and convenience stores in your locality, and awareness about the norms of living in that place such that your safety is not threatened.

Living in a share house can help you in gaining easy access to such information. It is so because when you are sharing a roof with other people you are bound to interact with them. In your conversations, you can come across the above-mentioned info without even requesting for the same. In opposed to this, if you opt to live alone in a new country, then acquiring such information may take some time.

Thus, these are some reasons because of which living in a share house should be your preferred choice. Living here can help you in settling-in easily.
