About the experience in: Santa Catalina, Panama
Austria
I had a great time in Santa Catalina overall. My manager Pablo and the other volunteers were super nice and fun! That said, the organisation and management weren't great — no one knew I was coming, and at one point there were too many volunteers, so some had to sleep in a construction site. Others had their stays canceled last minute or cut short without prior notice, so reliability is definitely an issue. On the bright side the tasks were easy and enjoyable — mostly reception, breakfast, grocery shopping and helping around. The schedule was super flexible, and we could request days off.
