The Experience
We are a youth sustainable hostel, where everybody feels welcome. Our interest is a sustainable way of work (we have a sustainability certification from the Chilean government for our efforts for less energy consumption, recycling, and respect for the workers and the community). The hostel was founded by two college mates who like to travel, and now it´s mostly run by a young international staff.

My stay at the hostel was great! The staff and also the people who stay here all have an amazing vibe, truly like family. It's super easy to meet people too because everyone is so friendly and open for a chat. Work hours are good, the work is easy and leaves enough room for exploring the city or even day trips to other places in Chile. Thank you for the lovely time I got to spend here, Id come back anytime :D

The hostel was my first experience as a volunteer (: and I think it was a great one! The staff in general it's pretty cool, fun and helpful. Tasks were easy and work schedules were also very flexible. I'ts mainly cleaning and help with the events during the week were you get to socialise a lot with other travelers. The location it's pretty convinient, close to Line 1 of metro and in a nice corner in Triana. I'm grateful to continue my trip with new friends! Would definitely love to come back later in life! Thanks a lot for everything.

I lovedd my experience there ! Had a lot of fun. It was my first time working in a hostel, sometimes cleaning was tiring but the work was actually so fair and not complicated. It left a lot of time to discover other places in Chile. The team was amazing especially Valentim and Alvaro who are extremely kind and inclusive. Thanks for the experience
