O the hostel foi um grande aprendizado. Estive cuidando de recepção e limpeza com bastante flexibilidade. O anfitrião teve alguns problemas pessoais então eu tive que encerrar minha jornada no the hostel. De qualquer forma, foi uma experiência bacana e impactante.

Minha experiência como voluntária no Vidigal foi incrível, especialmente por conhecer a comunidade e sentir o acolhimento das pessoas e do lugar. no hostel, vivi momentos de risadas, trocas e aprendizado, além de conhecer pessoas novas e me divertir. Aprendi muito sobre adaptação, movimentos e a realidade de viver em um morro. Embora sinta que a organização do hostel possa melhorar, no geral, é uma experiência rica para quem busca se conectar com pessoas calorosas, explorar a arte e entender a vida em uma favela. Vidigal está guardado no coração ♥️

O hostel é um lugar acolhedor e o anfitrião Marcos é bem gente boa. As tarefas são tranquilas e o horário é flexível quando necessário. A praia é linda e dá uns 5min no máximo da praça no pé do morro até lá, além de ficar a uns 30min de caminhada da praia do Leblon e um pouco mais até Ipanema. Ah, e tem vários ônibus que passam por aqui, além das vans. O Vidigal é incrível, tem de tudo e o que não tem você encontra na Rocinha, que é super acessível pra chegar daqui. Você realmente vive a rotina do morro e tem bastante contato com os moradores. Esta sendo uma ótima experiência e recomendo mt!
