Gabi is a wonderful host, and the home is a nice cozy hostel a short walk from the center of São João. Everyone I met was so kind and welcoming. I definitely recommend this volunteering experience for someone seeking a relaxed stay in the heart of Minas Gerais.

Hi everyone, I'm Bianca and I'm 21 years old. It was my first time in Brazil and my first time with world packers. I don't know the language and I was completely alone for the trip, but Gabi took care of me all the time, she answered all my questions and was very kind. When I was in the hostel everyone helped me adapt and understand things. I practiced my English and started learning some Portuguese too. I tried many typical dishes and visited the city which is safe (more than big cities) The place is beautiful and peaceful, and it gives you a lot of ā€œthe homeā€!

Impossível falar da casa sem falar da Gabi, anfitriã que transforma a casa num verdadeiro lar pra quem chega, voluntÔrio ou hóspede. Foi minha primeira experiência como voluntÔria e a melhor decisão que eu podia ter tomado. Mesmo com liberdade e localização ótima, tudo o que eu queria era estar no hostel, conectada com as pessoas e cuidando daquele espaço como se fosse meu. Saí com amizades profundas e um sentimento genuíno de pertencimento. Mal posso esperar pra voltar.

Meu primeiro voluntariado não poderia ser melhor. A cidade é linda, a natureza ao redor também. E a the home traduz tudo que pensei que o voluntariado poderia ser, e mais. Conheci pessoas, pratiquei idiomas, trocamos experiências e ideias ao redor da fogueira. Me voluntariei para ajudar na decoração, mas pude aprender outras coisas graças ao convívio. As tarefas e regras de organização são bem explicadas e também temos autonomia para conhecer os arredores e viver a casa. E falando em casa, o Hostel é uma jóia na cidade, bem cuidado, organizado e acima de tudo, acolhedor.
