Camila was unfortunately a huge disappointment.
She came across as immature and disrespectful. I totally honoured my obligations to her...she had her own private bedroom with a double bed and I allowed her free use of guest bathrooms for her three lengthy showers a day. She received three good meals a day and any snacks of her choice. I also provided her transport to local destinations.
Regrettably, Camila was a poor worker with no initiative, who simply wanted a holiday in my home. Inevitably, she could not stay when she had no interest in giving anything back to me as a host.
It all started well, but in the end I was traumatized, humiliated and without a place to stay. John was friendly at first. But he kept putting me down. I did everything I could to help, but one day, after cleaning the dishes, I stopped for one minute to text my husband saying I was ok and John started screaming at me saying I wasn't doing my jog. He was rude before that too. I felt so helpless, I just had to get out of there. The place was isolated so there were no taxis to get out. Thank God someone appeared and gave me a ride. It was truly an experience I wish I never had.
My stay at the hostel was amazing! I was a little worried because it was my first time volunteering, but everyone was super kind and understanding and I felt like they did everything possible to make sure my stay was enjoyable. I stayed in the female dorm, which is just gorgeous! And it has its own private bathroom, which was also great. I'll miss everyone! ❤️

Come il viaggiatore aiuta la comunità Worldpackers oltre al volontariato.
Sou escritora, viajante e apaixonada por café. Não há lugar onde eu me sinta mais confortável que dentro de uma livraria. O que me motiva a explorar o mundo é minha paixão por histórias e experiências. Adoro viajar sozinha e e já tive o prazer de me aventurar em diversos cantinhos do mundo. Estou sempre em busca daquele friozinho na barriga ao conhecer um lugar novo. Atualmente, estou em algum lugar por aí, correndo atrás dos meus sonhos.
