Program Details

Imagine yourself as a Worldpacker volunteer where the Atlantic Ocean hums your morning soundtrack and your daily currency is a blend of waves, sunsets, and shared stories. In this little Portuguese paradise, you’re not just a volunteer—you’re a vital brushstroke on the hostel’s daily canvas. 🌅

⸻

Here’s the vibe: you’ll offer about 25 hours a week of your superpowers, and in return, the hostel spoils you with a trifecta of treats: free breakfast and dinner to keep your belly happy, free surf lessons to keep your soul salty, and a comfy bed to call home. 🏄‍♀️🍳🌮

Your daily missions are like picking different hats from a costume chest. One day, you might be the magician of cleanliness, turning rooms and dorms into sparkling sanctuaries for new guests. Another day, you’re the evening ambiance artist, helping prepare dinner and weaving a tapestry of good vibes on the sun terrace as the sun takes a bow. Sometimes, you’ll channel your inner laundry wizard or even play the role of the friendly face behind the bar.

In short, it’s a swirl of tasks that keeps the days interesting and the sunsets even sweeter. And when you’re not working, the waves and the local charm of Portugal become your playground. 🌊

So there you have it: a volunteer role that’s not just about hours—it’s about blending into the rhythm of a little coastal utopia.

Activities & Shift

Morning Shift: The 10-to-3 Freshness Fiesta 🌞

Picture this shift as your backstage pass to making the hostel gleam and sparkle. From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., you’re the curator of comfort:
• Bed Wizardry: Strip those beds and transform them into fluffy, inviting nests for new guests. Think of it as tucking in a little piece of coziness. 🛏️✨
• Room Whispering: Sweep the rooms, empty bins, and make the bathrooms shine like they’re ready for a magazine shoot. You’re basically a room rejuvenator! 🚿🌟
• Laundry Alchemy: Help with the laundry so that every sheet and towel is a fresh cloud of comfort. A little folding, a little fluffing, and voilà—laundry magic. 🧺✨
• Kitchen Tidying: Sweep through the kitchen and leave it gleaming. It’s like giving the kitchen a mini spa day. 🍽️🌿

Evening Shift: The 4-to-8 Vibe Crafting Extravaganza 🌆

Now for the second act! From 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., you become the evening enchanter:
• Dinner Co-Creation: Join the culinary chorus and help prepare dinner. You’re not just cooking; you’re sprinkling a bit of evening magic into the meal. 🍲✨
• Vibe Ambassador: Float around the sun terrace and common areas, getting drinks for folks and weaving social threads between new guests. You’re the conductor of the evening’s social symphony. 🍹🎶
• Friendly Faces & Warm Welcomes: Make new friends feel at home and help everyone settle in. You’re basically the evening’s social glue. 🤗
• Post-Dinner Zen: Help wash up, put everything away, and leave the kitchen and common areas in a state of evening serenity. It’s like tucking the hostel in for the night. 🌙✨

⸻

And there you have it! Two shifts, each its own little adventure. One is about creating a sparkling daytime haven; the other is about spinning the threads of an unforgettable evening vibe. L

Rules

Think of this as the gentle spellbook that keeps our hostel’s magic alive and well. ✨ We’re looking for awesome souls who are more than just holidaymakers and who can vibe with a few golden guidelines:
• No Cloudy Habits: We’re not a place for anyone wrestling with heavy substances. In other words, we’d like to keep it clean and bright—no drug-related clouds in this sunny sky. 🌤️
• No “Just Here for a Tan” Folks: We adore fun, but this is a two-way street. If you’re only looking to lounge and not lend a hand, this gig might not be your perfect cocktail. 🍹
• No Late-Night Raves: We love a good vibe, but we’re not a party hostel that turns into a midnight circus. Quiet nights are golden, so if your spirit animal is a night owl DJ, you might need to tone down the beats. 🎶🌙
• No Unofficial Slumber Parties: As much as we love new friends, only paying guests can sleep over. We keep our guest list legit to keep the hostel running smoothly. So, no surprise sleepovers from friends who just wander in. 🛌🚫

⸻

In essence, we just want responsible, sun-loving, and team-spirited folks who can help keep our slice of Portugal as blissful as a postcard. Follow these little charms, and you’ll fit right in like a seashell on the shore. 🐚
