Volunteering at the hostel was a soul-nourishing and rare experience. From the start, UnaAga and the team welcomed me with such warmth—it felt like joining a family. The tasks were easy and well-paced, and the hostel itself is clean, beautifully designed, and wonderfully chill. Hualien is a place of quiet healing, where mountains and sea invite you to slow down and reconnect. If you're looking to contribute, connect, and grow, the hostel is a truly special place. I wholeheartedly recommend the hostel!

Una made me feel very comfortable throughout my entire stay,everything we discussed prio to my arrival was respected.Most days duties took around 2 hours and mostly cleaning bathrooms and hallways and making beds.She also took us on a awesome bike tour and one night we went out to a local bar w other staff and volunteers.Great low key town to get to know for a few weeks

I had an amazing time in the hostel. Una is seriously interested in you as a person and your culture. The environment is very social, everyone is super nice and interested to bring you closer to Taiwanese culture. The work is exactly what is agreed on or sometimes less when there is not too much to do. I definitely recommend it to everyone! Big thanks to the whole the hostel Team <3
