This was my first volunteering experience ever and i must say, it couldn't have been any better. Every single person in the hostel, including the hosts are so kind and extremly supportive! I am utterly thankful for every single person i got to meet here and for all the amazing experiences. People who stayed at the hostel once, somehow always end up coming back and so will I! Muita obrigada e até breve

I stayed working there for almost 3 months, and didn't see time pass by ! The place is amazing, the volunteers and guests as well, working there was a wonderful experience that I recommand to all Definitely one of the best hostels to work at, good working hours, the breakfast is fabulous, the kitchen is big and has a lot of stuff to cook with, lots of spaces to work from home or chill, the neighboorhood is calm and has a good number of bars, markets and restaurants, I really loved it !

Volunteering at the hostel has felt like being apart of a second home for me. It has provided lovely connections I believe will last a lifetime, a perfect environment for discovering Rio's Carioca culture, and opportunity to learn balance in work and play. I would recommend this volunteer experience.

Back at the hostel, this time rocking the social media scene! Round two is like a sequel with more vibes, more fun. Capturing the hostel's magic is a joy. Every corner tells a story, and I'm here to share it all. The team's vibe makes this encore epic. It's not a job; it's a co-created journey. Grateful for the chance, ready to turn this encore into social media gold!

My second Worldpackers adventure in Botafogo was pure magic. The hostel offered stunning views and easy access to vibrant nightlife and restaurants. Beyond its walls, Botafogo's energy became my playground for cultural discovery, making this experience unforgettable. Obrigado for the memories!
