Elena and Alex have big hearts and are hospitable not only to the volunteers but also to many other travelers. My stay at the hostel allowed me to share and connect with many people from different countries and make friends there. The food was plentiful, and the work was quite independent.

Lena and Alex literally opened their home and welcomed me with their family. The tasks seem like a lot but it's actually very easy and once you know what to do you will finisb everything super fast.
I loved spending time with Loki and playing with him. The hostel is big but you still have a cozy and home-like feeling.
The language barrier can be hard sometimes but I was able to learn and improve some Russian and there is good communication with everyone.

Elena and Alex are people with whom you can talk about everything.
Thank you Elena for the daily soups 🥣 and the food; and of course for the shared puzzles.
Thanks for the opportunity, it was a pleasure to meet them and help them with the repairs and improvements in the hostel, which is their home.
I particularly enjoyed building the little house for Loky 🐕 and knowing that I left that mark 🐾
The girls are lovely and I enjoyed spending time with both of them.
I must also and that I enjoyed relaxing in the sulfur baths.

I volunteered for several months here and I am very happy and grateful. I started with cleaning and then with social media and entertainment, a really colorful and beautiful first volunt. They´re always open to new ideas and dialogue, something very valuable for me. Thank you Lena, Alex, Valya and Vika for welcoming me and walking through this little piece of my life with so much love. Thank you for everything shared, the delicious food, the warmth, the fun, the laughter and for doing all kinds of ideas, photos and videos! Thank you Worldpackers for making these
great experiences a reality!
