Volunteering at the hostel was incredible! Workers and volunteers made it feel like a big international family. Perfect for meeting travelers, cultural exchange, and practicing languages. Daily life felt like the “penthouse” of the hostel our flat was separate from guests, with a private kitchen and a backyard with flowers 😍 The vibes were unbeatable, with organized schedules and respect for belongings. Chang the sweetest, Violeta the rock, and ❤Phillip, always friendly and supportive. Truly an adorable team❤

Volunteering in Earl's the hostel was one of the most meaningful experiences I've ever had. From the very beginning, I felt welcomed, supported, and part of something special. Everyone, from the staff team to volunteers brought such positive energy, kindness, and a genuine sense of community. It honestly felt like being part of one big family, and that's something I'll carry with me forever. Those friendships mean a lot to me and I know I'll carry them with me for the rest of my life. I'm really grateful for everything I experienced there. It's something I'll remember with a full heart.

Caique is reliable and always ready to help when needed. He got along really well with all the staff and volunteers, bringing positive energy to the team. Everyone here had good things to say about him.
Wishing him all the best in his future adventures!
