This was my first volunteering experience and it honestly couldn't have been better. I felt at home from the very beginning. Marco and Federica are super kind and welcoming, always listening, always making sure you feel good and comfortable. The whole staff is amazing, really friendly and fun to be around. The hostel is super clean, well located, and has such a great vibe. It's the perfect place to meet people and feel part of something. I'm really grateful for the time I spent there, it was an incredible experience and I'd definitely recommend it! PURA VIDA 🫶🏼

La ubicación es excelente, la vibra del lugar y la manager son las cosas que destaco de esta experiencia. Lo malo es la poca comida semanal, con ausencia considerable de proteínas y verduras. Tienes que venir con tu propio presupuesto si quieres comer bien. Lamentablemente los voluntarios no tienen habitación propia.

It was a true pleasure having Juana as a volunteer. She is an eclectic, artistic, and very sociable person who brings a lot of creativity. Anyone looking for someone with a different and original perspective will find Juana to be the perfect fit.
