It was my first volunteering experience and it was great! When I first arrived the other volunteers welcomed me with open arms. Thiago is also a very very nice and relaxed person. The tasks you have to do are not difficult and you have a lot of free time to enjoy your time in Ericeira. The hostel is located near the beach which is great if you want to surf or learn it. All in all it was an amazing and unforgettable experience and this hostel is for sure the best place to meet international travelers and make new friends<3 I recommend this experience to everyone and I'm sure I will come back:)
