Alisson é uma pessoa legal, gosta de conversar e participar das atividades que ocorrem na pousadinha. Ela faz as coisas sem nem pedirmos. Foi muito legal fazer trocas com ela!

O hostel tem um ambiente famílias incrível. Senti-me sempre em casa. As tarefas são muito fáceis de realizar e a carga horária é muito leve. A Surama (que trabalha no hostel), faz a diferença na vida dos voluntários. Aconselho muito a experiência nesta pousada!

Travel experience

I was born in France but I came to live in Portugal when I was 6 years old. Then, when I was in University, I did my Erasmus in Spain and now I work in UK (That's where I started to travel the world)
Since then, I have been in different countries, like Brazil, Austria, Italy, Uk, Switzerland, France...
But now, I want to do a different type of travel, I don't want just to visit, I want to know more about how people live, staying a little longer, feeling more the places , and to let life decide where to go after without planning too much.
