Gijon Surf Hostel
Your next volunteer experience here will be a total adventure! From surfing and skating to organizing excursions to near beaches and mountains, connect with nature in a magical and paradisiac place, if either you're looking for a sporty experience, meeting people from all around the globe, connecting with your inner self, taking time off from routine, this is the place to be. You and the way that brought you to us will be important to us. Each volunteer is a person that influences the energy of our place and we are eager to get to know you!
We are local entrepreneurs with a passion for surfing and adventure, but we are also very passionate about the place where we live and grew up, and that's why we came with the idea of building a house where we can host people and share everything Asturias has to offer while building life-lasting relationships with our family here.

About the experience in: Asturias, Spain
Netherlands
I volunteered at Gijón Surf Hostel taking care of the social media and it was such a fun and unforgettable experience! The team is super friendly and made me feel at home from the very first day. I got to do something I enjoy, improve my skills, and at the same time meet amazing people from all over the world. Spending my summer there was the best decision and I wouldn’t change it for anything!

Gijón Surf Hostel ha sido un lugar maravilloso para conectar con el surf y hacer amig@s, conocer asturias desde una forma local, hablar diferentes idiomas y disfrutar de las diferentes playas, crear comunidad y conexiones. Me ha encantado la experiencia en este lugar y me llevo un recuerdo muy bonito.

The pace of life here is very leisurely. Our work is simple and reasonable. I think we couldn’t complain about anything . From the first day I arrived, I felt that everyone was very friendly and eager to help me fit in. I learned a lot here and had some invaluable experiences, especially for being a Taiwanese girl, I always felt like I was in an incredible dream. Thanks for Mareike for chosing me!

I spent 6 weeks at GSH and had the best time! Location is great, you can walk or bike most places, but public transportation is really easy to use in Gijon. You get free use of surf materials, yoga classes, and other activities or events in the hostel. This place quickly became home thanks to Marieke, the other volunteers and guests. I will never forget the memories and people I met here ❤️❤️

My volunteering experience at Gijon Surf Hostel was absolutely amazing! From the very start I felt welcomed by the other volunteers and permanent staff members. At any time there are about 8 volunteers so it is incredibly social and creates such a nice sense of community. There is so much to do and see in the area, beaches, the old town, bars, etc. Bikes are available for free so you can ride everywhere around town. I worked in housekeeping and the hours were great. You work 5hrs so you have the whole first or second half of the day to do what you want. Loved this experience, highly recommend
