About the experience in: Santa Ana, El Salvador
Canada
Urban nest and Santa Ana were so welcoming! Even only being there a few weeks, I felt part of a community and made friends with travellers and locals alike. The bar work is fun and it makes it so easy to chat and get to know people! Also super good to practice Spanish because lots of locals come to the bar.

Mi experiencia en Urban Nest es de las mejores que viví. Desde el primer día el equipo me abrió las puertas con confianza y cariño. Me sentí en casa y en familia. En poco tiempo, me encariñe y hoy considero a mis compañeros como mis amigos. Erika es una anfitriona muy noble y me ofreció toda la comodidad y atención, y me siento agradecida. Mención especial a Alexis, Isa y Gustavo, que me cuidaron e hicieron de mi estadía, hermandad.

Great place to volunteer! The hostel has been pretty quiet (low season), but that means that when the guests come together everyone gets to know everyone which has been super nice. The staff are lovely and Erika always tries to accommodate any requests I make about the hours. The hostel itself is muyy bonito, there is a cool roof terrace, fruit trees and hummingbirds in the garden, showers where you can choose the temperature, a well-equipped kitchen, laundry that volunteers can use, and regular events like game nights, cooking classes etc. Volunteers are also given $20 per week for groceries!

I volunteered at Urban Nest and really enjoyed my time there. The hostel was quiet and peaceful, which I appreciated. The work was fair, and the staff were kind, respectful, and supportive. The owner was also great—very down-to-earth and easy to talk to. Overall, it was a great experience and I’d definitely recommend it to other volunteers.
