The Portuguese Element

We are close to several famous tourist spots in Faro. So while you help us here at the guesthouse you will also have the opportunity to get to know the city very well.

We like to share our experiences and learn from the traveler's life experience as well. It is nice to have different people helping us out and giving us new ways to see things.

El trabajo y horarios fueron respetados tal cual lo acordado. En relación a otros voluntariados que hice, este fue bastante exigente (nada imposible), ya que se tienen las mismas responsabilidades que las personas que trabajan allí. Me parece importante tenerlo en cuanta a la hora de aplicar. Los anfitriones son amorosos y están atentos a tus necesidades, aunque casi no tengas contacto con ellos. Los almuerzos son el momento ideal para conectar con otros voluntarias ya que no estamos todas en el mismo hostel (Dato: los almuerzos fueron mayormente vegetarianos). Me sentí cómoda y respetada!

It was my first experience as a volunteer, and it was really nice. Altough the room didnt habe a window (this was disclosed when applying), it was okay to stay in for 3 weeks. The host was really friendly and you could always reach out if you had questions. We always ate lunch together at an other hostel, with volunteers from alot of different hostels, so it was really easy to meet other solotravellers and to make friends.

I loved my time in Faro! It was my first volunteer. The work and schedule was followed and the tasks were easy. You could always ask for help in the group and get a fast response. I met many new friends that I’m still in contact with! Loved the lunches- the food was great and you met lots of new people!

I truly loved being here. I met so many people from all over the world and made some good friends. The food you get is so delicious. The work is as expected and fair. Only the room could be a bit better. But you get used to it, and eventually it doesn't bother you anymore.
Thank you so much for everything. I already miss you <3

It was not third experience with Worldpackers and I stayed for 3 weeks. All in all, I had a very good and fun time. The working hours are very easy and you have a free day after three days of working. To eat lunch, we always go to another hostel and get fresh food there. I have had enough time to explore Algarve and Faro. I would definitely come back!
