I didnt knew what was expecting me in the programm but i was completely overwhelmed by how rewarding and fulfilling this expirience is. It is my first time solo travelling and i feel like this was absolutely the right choice. I felt really welcomed and my expectations were more then met. The hosts also give you a lot of space and respect your boundaries, so you never feel pressured or anything at all. You also have a lot of freedom when it comes to incorporating your ideas in the program. Overall i can just say that this program was my best travel experience ever🫶🏼🫶🏼

I could not have asked for a better start to my trip here in Brazil. Living in Vidigal has been an experience I will never forget and the opportunity to teach English and connect with the locals here has been incredible. Even despite unforeseen accomodation issues, the team at the hostel worked tirelessly to ensure we were all happy and comfortable. I really enjoyed my time in Rio and I had plenty of free time to explore and enjoy this crazy city. Thanks to all the team for making it so special.

Staying in Rio and teaching was an amazing experience thanks to Victor, James, Larry and Lydia. I will never forget how connected I felt to the other volunteers, the students and the city. My only regret is not staying for longer !

I can not recommend this experience enough, unfortunately I did not get to teach a ton due to the holidays but I enjoyed every minute spent with the kids and adults in the classroom and found Vidigal to be a lovely home away from home. Larry, James, Lydia, and Victor were all so wonderful and inspiring. My favorite trip yet :) 🫶

James, Lydia, Victor and Larry were excellent hosts and super welcoming and friendly. I love this project and having the ability to meet locals and provide a service to the community. The housing facilities were constantly being improved while I was there and it has a clean, safe, cozy vibe. I would have stayed longer if I could! I appreciate the mixture of casual, laidback, friendly vibe at the hostel and then the professional commitment & engagement with the kids and adults at the school.

Thank you for the opportunity to volunteer at the hostel! Its an amazing chance to get to know the life in Vidigal and in Rio. The team and volunteers I met were just lovely 🥰 The only thing to keep in mind: there is a lot of parties going on all the time in the Alzira house so its difficult to sleep if you're a light sleeper like me. Also the price for the private room is too high for the value (bathroom very small and cant walk around in the room). However I liked the project and I was able to give a boxing workshop!

On a good note, everyone working at this school is sweet. However, overall my experience was horrible working with them on the professional side due to a lack of organization. The day I got there they started moving where I was going to stay. I was told so many different things by the same people, and this put me in an unsafe position. It was 3am the day that I was supposed to move into a the hostel. I had no exact plan on where to go, what time to go, who to meet, where I could leave my stuff. I don't recommend working with them if you care about these things.

We invited Noah to join in with our group chat and New Years Eve celebrations before his volunteering was due to start.

As you can see from our profile on worldpackers we have comprehensive documents detailing all details of the program.

Noah did not spend a single night with us and did not show up for this experience .

We can only conclude that the intensity of Rio was too much for him.

Vidigal is a very safe place, any quick Google search will show this.

Lovely weeks that I will never forget. The opportunity to meet international travellers and locals at the same time. And I really loved the teaching.
