My experiences at Yume Nomad were great. Kobe city was very relaxed. This was my third time volunteering with Worldpackers, so it was an easy introduction and I knew what to expect. The job mainly involved housekeeping and checking in guests. Most days were slow, but it got busier on the weekends. The hostel staff were friendly, but communication was limited due to language barriers. Most of the time, I socialized with other volunteers and met some great people overall.

It was my first volunteering experience, and I highly recommend it. I felt like home in this hostel and you can easily enjoy the life in Kobe. You have enough flexibility to explore everything in the city and around, and there is a lot to do. It's a great location because you can easily go to Kyoto, Himeji, Osaka... I had a nice time there with the other volunteers and Hiro was a cool and chill host. I wish I could also do the job with the kids in the kindergarten but they told me before I came that they stopped this activity with the volunteers. Thank you for everything!

It was with great pleasure that I had the chance to participate in this new project at the local kindergarten in Kobe! It was my first time dealing with kids and I loved it, definitely created life long memories! The project coordinators were always very friendly and did all in their possibilities to guide me and teach me whatever was needed. Unfortunately, due to some reorganization, this activity is currently suspended for volunteers, hopefully in the future more people have the chance to participate in it, as it was one of the most rewarding volunteering activities I have done in Japan!

It was a great experience working here! This was my first time doing a work exchange, and Hiro, the host, was very kind and patient. I highly recommend trying a work exchange here!

My stay at the hostel was great! Hiro is super chill and fun, he considers our health and capability when making the scheduling and asks us if there is a specific day off that we would like; I've been here 2 months and I've never had a problem with not being able to take the days off that I requested. The work is "easy", just the usual: making beds, cleaning rooms, checking in guests and so on. Once you've done it a couple of times it's quick work. The shifts are just 4 hrs and if you finish fast you can take some breaks here and there or at the end, Hiro will definitely say the same.

I had a great time at the hostel/Nakamura. Hiro and Mayumi are fantastic hosts who always respect the volunteers' schedules. Everyone I met, from other volunteers to guests, was nice and respectful. The work is split into two roles: housekeeping, which is straightforward, and assisting English teachers in a Japanese kindergarten, which was my main job. The latter is more challenging but very rewarding; you learn a lot from both the teachers and the kids. There are still some scheduling improvements needed, but I'm sure it will be in future. Overall, I highly recommend this experience!

I had a wonderful experience at Yume Nomad Hostal(: Hiro is very organized with the tasks you have to do and the amount of working hours and free days is fair. The hostel is very cozy and the people who work in the Cafe are lovely. Kobe is such a nice and underrated city where you have a lot to do and meet some locals. Also, you meet people from all over the world at the hostel and you can bond with them very easily. I always will be thankful for this experience and the kindness, respect and good vibes of the host. I strongly recommend this experience!!! (:

The work is very easy, Hiro is very kind and flexible and you can work out together to find the shift that suits you the most. The hostel is very cute, a terrace living room, kitchen and interesting decorations. You can easily feel like home!

He tenido una grata experiencia en Yume, han sido muy amables conmigo, me han dado indicaciones claras y me han tenido paciencia. Agradezco que fuera mi primer voluntariado por que el equipo era muy agradable y cooperativo. Sin duda, lo recomiendo, esta bien ubicado, además Kobe tiene muchos lugares lindos para explorar.
