This was my first worldpackers experience and it was exactly how I expected! The team is very friendly and the work is light. The hostel environment is chill and the location is AMAZING! Literally 2min walk away from the metro station and right across from a 7-11, it was very convenient. The owner, May, sometimes would cook lunch for the volunteers which was always very kind and delicious. I met a lot of other amazing cool people while I was there too. Special shoutout to my goat Will for being so kind, caring, and welcoming.

I had a very peaceful experience here and even extended my stay. Atmosphere is respectful and relaxed. The hostel is perfect for focused work and mature travelers, not for parties or social activities, but you can still connect with people. The facilities are clean and beds are comfortable! You're in a prime location near many shops, restaurants, transportation and a 7/11 right across. Tasks are light and hours were shorter than expected. Quite often, May would bring a generous, delicious spread of food for us. Special thanks to Will for some great conversations and including us in outings :)

This is such a great volunteering experience! The location is perfect, task are easy you'll usually be done by less than 2hrs, and I had plenty of time to explore Taipei. Big thanks to May, the sweetest manager, her home-cooked meals made the place feel like home. The hostel is also perfect for digital nomads with strong Wi-Fi and comfy work spots. I'll truly miss this place! 💛
