I am so glad that I my first Worldpacker experience was with the hostel. Working at the hostel gave me the opportunity to slow down on my journey and really appreciate the place I was in. The owners were very encouraging about going out to explore all of La Fortuna, helped schedule my tours and also gave me the opportunity to go on some of the hostel tours for free- which were some of my favorite days. Overall it was an amazing experience and met some of the most amazing people while on my travels.

I'm forever grateful to Lara & Lautaro for this opportunity, I got to make lifelong friends and had such an amazing time as a first ever volunteer experience. They have a little family that is so welcoming and you quickly feel at home, especially because of the people there. The work is fun too because you get to learn about Costa Rica a lot more and it gives you a pretty good idea of the culture and customs here! Learning spanish but also helping others learn french & english was a pleasant surprise as well :). The month flew by quickly and Lara & her family were part of the reason why :)

This was my first volunteering experience, and I had a great time staying at the hostel. It quickly felt like home and I met amazing people along the way. The work itself is pretty relaxed once you get the hang of it and there are plenty of perks, like staff food to prepare your meals and discounts on tours, which is really nice. I highly recommend this experience to anyone considering volunteering!
