My first volunteering experience, and it was amazing. Erika and Nerea made me feel at home from day one. San Vicente is a magical place, full of nature and good vibes.

It read my first volunteering and it turns out to be really positive! San Vicente is a peaceful place surrounded by incredible nature, truly the perfect spot to slow down and reconnect. Staying at the hostel was amazing, I got to meet so many people from all over the world, each day brought something new to learn, new stories to share, and new connections to make. The energy there was just so inspiring. I'm really grateful for the experience!

From the very beginning I felt so welcomed. I was nervous because of my level of spanish, but they made me feel so comfortable. The staff/host created such a loving environment. Everyday felt like a new adventure, the work wasn't difficult at all and the town is rich in culture

It was honestly one of the best experiences I've ever done. I stayed at the hostel for one month but it seemed sooo short. Erika and Nerea are so welcoming and kind. They do everything to make you feel at home. Whats more, doing this volonteering has helped me improving my spanish and my english! The area around the hostel is so nice, you can go surfing or hiking. Honestly I recommend to everyone who wants to live a fulfilling experience!!! Love yall ❤️❤️❤️

I had a truly wonderful experience at the hostel. Erika is a very welcoming and helpful host who makes sure you have a very comfortable stay there. I volunteered with three other people there who made the place feel like home. Also they pushed me a lot with speaking and improving spanish in the most positive way. Generally, the work is not hard and the hostel rather hosts pilgrims who do the camino de santiago. Therefore, you have the chance to meet a lot of different people each day and have enough free time to enjoy beautiful San Vicente. Muchas gracias por todo! 🥰
