Valparaíso é uma cidade linda e a Casa Vander é um hotel super lindo, uma ótima localização, o quarto muito bom, com banheiro privado. As tarefas são super simples e tranquilas. Toda a equipe do hotel são super gente boa, vou sentir falta dos pãezinhos da Señora Miriam. Único problema que tivemos foi com organização, que infelizmente nos afetou um pouco, como o fato de não termos nem um dia de folga em 1 mês, para ter um dia era necessário trocar turnos com outro voluntário e cobrir ele em um dia para que me cobrisse em outro. Mas fora isso foi uma ótima experiência, super voltaria!

Me gustó mucho la atmósfera en Casa Wander, muy amigable. Aunque mi español no era muy bueno, siempre conté con la ayuda de mis compañeros voluntarios. El lugar es muy acogedor y está en una zona histórica muy bonita de la ciudad. Mi trabajo fue en los turnos nocturnos, que no fueron difíciles. ¡Gracias por el tiempo que pasé en Casa Wander!

O voluntariado era de apenas 2 semanas, mas acabei ficando 1 mês e a Valen foi muito acolhedora durante todo esse período, o restaurante abriu novamente a pouco tempo então a ritmo de trabalho não é grande, e os turnos de trabalho são definidos por nós voluntários oque é muito bom. Todos estão sempre abertos para dialogar e mudar algo se necessário e tive a oportunidade de fazer horas extra de trabalho e ganhar por isso tambem. Foi uma experiência muito boa, adoraria retornar no futuro! 🤩
