I've been delaying my review since I don't want to say goodbye to this wonderful place, I guess everything in life comes to an end…except memories! And let me tell you that the memories we created in this volunteering where incredible, since day 1 I felt like home, not because of the place (Which is literally in the middle of Downtown; great base point) but because of the staff and of course other volunteers, Chris is a fucking Leyend! Very professional, respectful, funny and he does some great Tiramisu's haha, got here not knowing anyone and ended up leaving with a “family”…Thank you!

This was my first volunteering experience and it was truly wonderful Chris, Hervé, and the team welcomed me with such kindness and care. I felt supported from the start, and quickly became part of the group. I made great friends, learned a lot and truly enjoyed the daily tasks the hostel is a charming city, and I also got to visit nearby places. I'm very grateful for everything and would love to return someday <3

First of all, I'd like to thank Chris and Hervé for giving me the chance to be part of this amazing experience. Since the first day, I felt like one of the team. the hostel is a vibrant and friendly city, filled with interesting and lovely people and it's location is pretty convenient if you want to discover Scotland, and the museums are simply amazing! I couldn't possibly have chosen a better place to have my first experience abroad, and I'd love to be back someday if life allows me to.
