Thank you so much for everything, Laura. Laura has been incredibly helpful—she's always ready to do anything you need and never shies away from responsibility. You can comfortably entrust your tasks to her when she's around. Now you have a home in Koh Phangan, and you're always welcome to come back whenever you want.

I'm so grateful for having had the opportunity to be a volunteer at the hostel! Everyone around was very friendly, Tahsin is a great “boss” and person. I felt like I found a family in Thailand! The tasks were simple and done according to what was agreed. I had time to relax and enjoy the amazing atmosphere that Koh the hostel has to offer. I had a great time and totally recommend the experience. Thank you! 🫶🏽❤️

Laura foi extremamente importante para o hostel e além disso contribuiu demais com as pessoas que aqui passaram. Extremamente pró ativa, comunicativa e competente. Com seu olhar super atento nos auxiliou em tudo. Ajudou todos os hóspedes sempre com simpatia. O período que ela passou por aqui foi extremamente positivo para nós, seja no lado profissional ou pessoal. Laura vai deixar saudades. Recomendo a todos os membros da comunidade.

Tive uma experiência maravilhosa noooo hostel! A localização é incrível (10 min a péo hostel praia), a casa é deliciosa com muita área verde, o público que frequenta o hostelcurte natureza, trilhas, yoga e afins. Os donos William e Ambra são uns amores e foram super flexíveis (por contao hostel pandemia, tivemos que adaptar algumas tarefas). Os horários foram combinados previamente e respeitados, as tarefas eram variadas (aprendi coisas novas) e tive espaço para utilizar também minha criatividade e potencial. Amei muito! Ganhei uma nova família! Gratidão pela acolhida! <3

Tive uma experiência maravilhosa! As tarefas consistiam em ajudar o pessoal da cozinha com os pedidos na hora do jantar e em seguida ajudar com os pedidos do bar. Em um dos seis dias de trabalho eu assumia o bar por completo. Como o trabalho é sempre no período da noite, você tem a chance de aproveitar o dia praticamente inteiro. O hostel é grande e com uma área externa deliciosa, tem uma vibe muito boa e a equipe é querida! Há muita interação entre os hóspedes, e você tem a chance de participar das atividades com eles. Foram 3 semanas de muita diversão e relaxamento. Recomendo muito! :)

About me as an author

Laura Sette | 7 Cantos do Mundo

Hi! I'm Laura (37, Brazilian-Italian) and I've been traveling the world for many years. I've lived in 6 different countries and traveled to about 40 & counting! I have a degree in Biology and I'm a travel blogger/Instagrammer/YouTuber @7cantosdomundo. I've done tons of different works throughout my journey and I've already tried different traveling and accommodation styles, such as Worldpackers/Workaway, Couchsurfing and Trusted House Sitters (you can find my profile with numerous 5-star reviews). I've been doing house sittings since 2021 and I spent an entire year exclusively pet sitting in Australia. People who like to travel, share experiences and connect are my kind of people! Apart from traveling and exploring, I love animals, creating content, learning new languages, hiking, dancing, reading, meditating and talking about Astrology, Human Design and other deep stuff! Shall we be friends? :)
