Had a much better time here than I ever anticipated, I ended up extending my time volunteering.Mi Casa made Shkoder feel like I had a home away from home. I’ll definitely return in the future 💕💕

Mi casa es tu casa was a great experience! The host, Alma and the hostel in general is full of wisdom and even though I only stayed for 2 weeks I feel as though I learned a lot in that time! About nature, about sustainability, etc... It has to be said that the hostel is pretty quiet, so the atmosphere during the day was sometimes a bit too lonely (for my taste), but that is obviously out of the hosts control. Overall I wpuld definitely recommend this to anyone, who wants to learn and escape the buzz of the city in this small oasis!!

I was looking forward to my workaway at mi casa es tu casa but then the host cancelled a few days before my arrival. This was quite upsetting and forced me to make alternative plans. After cancelling on me, the host reached back to me and offered that another volunteer had cancelled and that it is now possible again for me to come and volunteer. I did end up deciding not to do it as this way of managing volunteers felt quite disrespectful of my time and commitment to the agreement, including the money already spent for my travel to Albania.

When I arrived there wasn’t any of the website development work for me to do (I applied to the website development listing which was mistakenly up on Worldpackers) so unfortunately I left early. But I ended up paying for a few nights anyways since the hostel was nice :)
