This volunteering project was where I felt the most welcomed. I enjoyed every moment of being there, especially interacting with the staff, who made me feel like part of their family. I truly appreciated the flexibility of my colleagues, who were open to accommodate my wishes to join tours and visits. Everyone was kind and caring, which made my experience really enjoyable. The tasks were clear, everything was well-structured, and the workflow was smooth. I also got to enjoy free dance classes and take part in some interesting tours, such as visiting a coffee farm and exploring Salento

My volunteering experience at the hostel was absolutely incredible and I enjoyed it so much. The whole team was extremely welcoming and they treated me like I belonged there from the day I arrived. Most of the time I was working at the reception which was a fun task to do and it also helped me to get in touch with fellow travellers. Whenever I had questions about work or other things my host Sebastian or the receptionist Camilo were always there to help and I never ran into any issues. Overall I highly recommend volunteering at the hostel and I would definitely do it again!!

My time at the hostel was a truly wonderful experience. The whole team is very friendly and always willing to help Sebastián treats volunteers not just as extra hands to help but as part of a family. He genuinely wants to share his experience, show his way of life, and create a warm and welcoming atmosphere Everything that was promised was provided, and I believe this is a great example of a beneficial experience The place itself is safe and surrounded by beautiful nature and kind people I will definitely miss this place and will always remember my time at the hostel <3
