My first Worldpackers experience was fantastic! the hostel is super welcoming and the staff made me feel at home right away. The work is well-organized, and I always had enough days off to explore Haarlem and the surrounding areas. Last but not least, I will always cherish the people I met here!

That was my first volunteer experience and I couldn't ask for something better, I really felt part of community. The other volunteers are people really open-minded, with a strong sense of community as well. The hostel is marvelous and I can say that even for the staff!
