I volunteered in the hostel for one month and for me it was very difficult to say goodbye. My experience was great, I've loved the atmosphere in the hostel and the activities. The team was kind and available, you're not alone and if you need something there is always someone in the reception to help you. I recommend it, because the activities let you connect with other volunteers. I've loved my experience here because they care about the well-being of the volunteers and they allow you to connect with the hostel staff. It was the kind of experience I was looking for! See you soon!

Had my first volunteer experience at the hostel and was an awesome time! Most of the tasks were enjoyable and not too hard to learn, and the staff were always very helpful and welcoming. Can definitely recommend volunteering here if you get the chance.
