Passei uma semana no hostel e foi uma experiência bastante desafiadora. O hostel fica na cidade de Jaisalmer, fronteira entre Índia e Paquistão e é uma região islâmica já de costumes bem conservadores. Para andar na rua eu precisava me cobrir por inteiro e também usar um véu para me esconder. Andando pelas ruas da cidade e dentro do forte há mto assédio sobre as mulheres estrangeiras. Os homens da cidade abordam demais e fazem todo tipo de pergunta íntima e constrangedora. Me senti muito vulnerável. Sobre o voluntariado a experiência foi positiva, porém desafiadora.
