About the experience in: León, Nicaragua
Slovenia
Being a volunteer at Bigfoot was an amazing experience. Everyone was so welcoming, friendly and loving from the beggining until the very end. If you love to party, socialise and just being surrounded by amazing people, this place is perfect for you. Was only planning to stay 3 weeks at the beggining but ended up staying for 7! The cleaners, the cooks, the guides, the board guys and all other workers were all so friendly and really aceppted me into their family. Big shotout to amazing Paulina who is the best boss ever. I will be back soon!!

Mon expérience au BigFoot Hostel était incroyable. J’ai eu le sentiment de passer les fêtes de fin d’année et de vivre 3 semaines en famille, avec les autres volontaires et le staff de l’hôtel. C’était aussi super d’être proche du staff qui était local. La manager Paulina est très gentille, à l’écoute et arrangeante c’était vraiment agréable de travailler avec elle.
Les shifts de jour consistent à monter le volcan Cerro Negro et le descendre en luge : définitivement mon activité préférée ! Les shifts du soir consistent à animer ou accompagner dans les soirées.

Experiencia increíble!! Mi paso por Bigfoot fue increíble, un voluntariado lleno de diversión y actividades/tours por los volcanes de la zona. Además te sentirás como en casa, la familia de Bigfoot te acogerá como a uno más y nunca te sentirás solo!! Totalmente recomendado.

Fue una breve pero bonita experiencia que voy a llevar en mi recuerdo, si lo que buscas es un voluntariado con mucha fiesta este es el tuyo sin duda, tiene un gran equipo humano trabajando en el hostel que harán todo lo posible para que te sientas como en casa, y las actividades son muy dinámicas no te dará tiempo aburrirte, por mi parte el único consejo es que si sabes inglés será mucho mejor tu experiencia y podrás disfrutarla más si cabe, mil gracias por estos días y éxitos 🍃🙌

Volunteering at Bigfoot was definitely one of the best decisions I made this year. The staff is amazing, I felt at home from the start and all the tasks are fun to do, whether it's karaoke night or volcano boarding. There are no words to describe how much I enjoyed spending my time there and meeting new people every day, since I consider it to be te perfect balance between partying and joining outdoor activities. I'm already missing Bigfoot so much, but I'm very grateful because I got the chance to be part of this incredible family :)
