Volunteer in an Artistic Cafe and a Hostel in the Golden City

Brasil

3

Passei uma semana no hostel e foi uma experiência bastante desafiadora. O hostel fica na cidade de Jaisalmer, fronteira entre Índia e Paquistão e é uma região islâmica já de costumes bem conservadores. Para andar na rua eu precisava me cobrir por inteiro e também usar um véu para me esconder. Andando pelas ruas da cidade e dentro do forte há mto assédio sobre as mulheres estrangeiras. Os homens da cidade abordam demais e fazem todo tipo de pergunta íntima e constrangedora. Me senti muito vulnerável. Sobre o voluntariado a experiência foi positiva, porém desafiadora.

My volunteer experience was really great! Talab and Hari are very welcoming and made me feel like home. They are very easy going and thankful with everything you do to help them. I stayed in a dorm and got two meals a day with an awesome view of the city from there rooftop. They even invited me to join the desert the hostel just for fun. All over an awesome experience!

My experience in the hostel was amazing! I enjoyed a lot working with all the staff both, in the reception and in the kitchen (where I learnt even how to cook indian food) and thanks to all the team working there, Jaisalmer is now as a second house for me. Furthermore, I could experience the hostel to the desert with them and I cannot be more grateful for such an opportunity. Hope to see you again!

My stay at the hostel was my first experience with Worldpackers, that's why it was important to me. I'm glad to say that I had a great time here. From the moment I arrived at the location, the staff treated me as one of their own, with respect. The entire staff is humble and considerate. The workload was not much during my stay, but I promptly completed all the assigned tasks. I also had plenty of time to explore the city and its surroundings. The food was good and healthy. I had the opportunity to meet and interact with international travelers. The host is responsible and gracious.

Talab was an amazing host and the hostel was very welcoming. As an American practicing Hindi, this was a fantastic opportunity to practice the language while interacting with locals, while also feeling safe and welcomed. Be sure to speak with Talab clearly about what you are looking for with your experience and he will certainly help you with whatever you need!
