About the experience in: San Juan, Puerto Rico
United States
The nice things about this experience are the location of the hostel, getting space to yourself, and having a mostly straightforward routine when it comes to work. Tasks included cleaning and changing beds. Often I received packages for the restaurant and communicated with maintenance staff (plumbers, AC tech, etc), so I do think volunteers benefit from knowing Spanish before working here. The hostel is not particularly social, and the important thing to know is you will be mostly on your own, as there is only one volunteer at a time and Angelica communicates with you through text.
