Mi experiencia en BigFoot ha sido de 10. Desde el primer día que llegué hasta el último me he sentido arropado. Desde el staff hasta el pedazo de equipo de voluntarios se merecen lo mejor. Sin ellos, esta experiencia hubiese sido un poco menos divertida. Las actividades son muy divertidas y fáciles de hacer. Sin duda alguno uno de los mejores voluntariados que he hecho en mi vida, lo recomiendo al 100%. Me llevo una familia para siempre, por siempre a BigFoot Lover. Prometo volver

I had an amazing experience in bigfoot! the tasks are so fun and easy it doesnt feel like working at all. my only regret is not staying longer there! also being vegan might be hard sometimes traveling but here they give you good meals and adapt to your needs🫶🏻 the whole staff is incredible and the volcano boarding is something i’ll never forget, thank you bigfoot💕

My experience on BigFoot was different then everything I ever lived. I felt super welcome on the team and the activities are fun and involve a lot of interaction with guests. Basically your job is to keep the good vibes with everyone while you enjoy the party, of course with responsibility and common sense. I met a lot of great people (guests, staff and volunteers) and totally is a place I want to go back! Besides that, another thing that helps a lot is the organization of the schedules, you always know what to do, at what time and how. This way you can organize yourself and enjoy the most :)

One of the best experiences ever! Bigfoot is the high energy hostel of Leon and being a part of that is quiet a privilege.

Nunu and the team really make you feel at home, job is really awesome and dinamic, you get free tours, drinks, parties and meals. So the volunteers are really valued at this place, giving back with our energy and work!

Highly recomend! Hope to come back.

Todo mundo sempre elogiou o Bigfoot e eu não poderia concordar mais. Espaço lindo demais, staff incrível e sempre disposta e feliz, um grande número de voluntários. E o melhor de tudo são as atividades propostas, não há como ficar entediado, tudo sempre com a energia lá em cima!
