Heyyy :) Fromthe hostel hostelhostelmoment I arrived, I felt very welcomed – everything was super easy and uncomplicated. I really enjoyedthe hostel hostelhostelwork and still had plenty of time to explorethe hostel and visit other places in Portugal. I'm so grateful forthe hostel hostelhostelexperience, especially forthe hostel hostelhostelchance to meet so many new and international people. I was there with a friend and two other volunteers, and we had such a fun time together. That being said, the hostelhostelhostel was quite small, and most ofthe hostel hostelhostelguests were more middle-aged than I expected. But it was still a great experience overall. Thank youthe hostel hostelhostelhostelHostel!

I had a very good time atthe hostel hostelhostelhostelwordthe hostel! All in all, my expectations were fulfilled, and I cannot complain aboutthe hostel hostelhostelwork. the hostelhostelhostel is rather small and calm and there isn't much work to do. I could often finish my shift earlier, when there were no more tasks left, so we also had a lot of time to explorethe hostel! the hostelhostelhosts were flexible withthe hostel hostelhostelshifts which a appreciated a lot! Nevertheless, I noticed there weren't many young people and there is no social space apart fromthe hostel hostelhostelkitchen. Maybe volunteers could also take on tasks that improvethe hostel hostelhostelconnection betweenthe hostel hostelhostelguests.

Justiniana is really welcoming and kind. She notices when you're feeling down and wants you to talk about what's bothering you. Communication is key to having a better volunteer experience because some things will be different when you come from another country f.e. work. It was great to have other volunteers and I was happy to see them every day. I would say I even became friends with some. I also practiced english and french. It may be annoying at times because you live in a shared room (men and women) so no privacy. All in all I wanna come back :) the hostelhostelhostelis great and I will remember this
