You're lucky if you're chosen for this experience. It was my first WP. the hostel in Calle Loíza is right in the heart of everything: a park 1min away, Ocean Park beach right there, and endless places to walk, eat, and explore. The free buses made it easy to see so much of SJ. Krys knows this the hostel like the back of her hand. I've had many supervisors over the years, & she's genuinely the first (and ONLY) manager I've ever liked hahaha She gave great advice on local events and is an incredibly hardworking, supportive person. Make sure to chill at the pool at IV! Thank you for everything🩵

Volunteering at Nómada felt like an amazing once in a lifetime experience. I was nervous about being a young woman traveling solo, but I always felt safe and comfortable at this hostel (and in San Juan in general). Volunteering here allowed me to practice my Spanish, meet lots of fun people, enjoy nature, and so much more. Nerri & Kyrs are the absolute sweetest managers ever and I am so grateful I got to meet/work with them. If you get the chance to stay/volunteer here — do it!

I stayed at the CL location so I can't speak for the IV location but I enjoyed my stay here. Krys was very open, helpful, and welcoming during my stay. I extended my stay here alongside some other volunteers who did so as well. I would recommend.

The hostel was my first work exchange experience and it was great! Everyone was super welcoming, made me feel at home right away and created a fun environment. The work itself was really doable and made it easy to meet people from all over the world. We had to work 20 hours a week which gave me a lot of time to explore and hangout at the hostel. Neri, Krys and Henry were incredible and I am really happy I got to know them. The hostel was really nice, super close to the beach and I spent a lot of my time walking around and exploring the city! Overall, it was a amazing experience

Khrys is an awesome manager and is more like a friend to the volunteers. The work itself is very laidback and enjoyable. The shifts are very flexible as well. Best thing about this assignment is definitely the location! It is located in the super walkable area of San Juan. You can get to all the best spots around the metropolitan area from here! Also it is located on a very artsy cool strip where you can find great food, cool bars and local shopping. This is also a street away from Ocean Park beach and a 10 minute stroll from the beaches of Condado. I extended also, recommend!
