Amazing Experience at the hostel! I had such a great time volunteering at the hostel! The atmosphere is super fun and welcoming. As a volunteer, you get to meet people from all over the world, enjoy free parties, and really feel part of the family. The location is perfect — right in Lapa, close to tons of samba bars and nightlife. Thanks so much to the team for the unforgettable experience! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a good time in Rio.
