The best first volunteering experience i could ask for! it truly felt like family and i will really miss it. definitely will be back to see everyone again. the job was amazing and working at reception allowed me to meet so many travelers from all over the world. my favorite part was making coffees for the guests and chatting with everyone that walked through the reception area. only two blocks from the beach, you really can't beat it. thank you david and aritz (and all of my fellow volunteers) for such a wonderful experience and for making the hostel sebastián feel like home. xoxo, nati

I had an incredible experience at Surfing Etxea. David and Aritz are wonderful bosses, and I'm so grateful for the chance to volunteer at this welcoming hostel. The hostel itself is lovely and conveniently located near the beach. The tasks were easy to handle, allowing me to fully enjoy the amazing city of the hostel Sebastián. I'm definitely looking forward to returning soon. 🤙🏽

A special first experience! In Surfing Etxea I found a family and I strongly suggest everyone to go. The place is beautiful and the hostel's owners are super friendly and respectful. There are many volunteers working at the same time allowing everyone to make friends. I had a lot of free time where I could do many activities and travels. I will always have a wonderful memory of the hostel Sebastián :)
