The Experience

So we are a hostel. And a hostel is the place we go to have a good time when travelling. Reception is the heart of the hostel and for everybody to have fun, there's lots of backstage work. This position is all about that: taking care of the whole backstage to help people have the time of their lives. And if you love people, you pretty much know that if everyone is having their best time because of your hard job, you are the one who wins ;)

The hostel is an awesome host. They promote a great environment to connect people by doing parties, city tours and events . The staff is the best part, they make you feel like if you had grown here, surrounded by friends. The location is a bonus, very nice neighborhood. Totally recommend!

My volunteering at the hostel was one of the best so far and it certainly taught me the most. I learned how to prepare many drinks and I will definitely use these lessons for future volunteering and for life. The hostel staff is incredible, everyone is very nice and always willing to teach us. I highly recommend it and I know for sure that I will always have a home and a family at the hostel.

If you're reading this, you're looking for a social, jam-packed, tight-knit Worldpackers experience. You want all these qualities, of course - that's why you're here. But most importantly, you're looking for a certain feeling. That feeling you get excitedly bartending on a busy Friday night. That type of feeling you get napping on the hammock after a crazy night out. That type of feeling you get laughing your butt off every night with your coworkers who are like family. the hostel was where I felt alive - and you will too. One of the greatest travel experiences of my life.
