Whoa, man! My time at the hostel was rad. Polished my English and Spanish skills, soaked up heaps of new cultures. I mean, where else could you get this, right? Plus, it's all set near beaches, waterfalls, groovy bars, parties, museums, and the city center. And despite being a residential 'hood, there's a Bohemian vibe going on. The hostel itself is lit! Common areas to chill with a pool table, bar, video games, and a TV lounge. Not to mention, it's not just fun and games. The place offers real growth opportunities too. What a ride!
Administration, Party Promoter, Reception, and Bartending
Foi uma honra ter como voluntario e agora fazendo parte da equipe.
A experiência de poder continuar em contato com inglês e outros idiomas é muito bom. Além da possibilidade de ser comissionado ajudando com a viagem. Como também de ter oportunidade em crescer junto a empresa.
Party Promoter and Tour Guide
John was with us for the 3rd time (if I'm not wrong) and is welcome here again at anytime. He already helped us with multiple tasks such as Bar, Reception and Tour Guiding. He is very friendly, super good with sales, has good communication skills and is goal oriented. A small improvement on his attitude with other WPs motivating them to do their best and making the Hostel a better place would make him a 5 stars WPs. Obrigado John!
Pela segunda vez fui aceito como voluntário. Porém, desta vez pude vivenciar uma nova função: guia de turismo. Uma função que queria ter feito no passado e espero continuar fazendo por um tempo. Só agradeço outra vez pela oportunidade. Paz ✌️ @ojalaworld
