Thao and her whole the home family welcomed me warmly into their hostel. She takes care of the volunteers and makes sure we're good, doing our tasks, and having a great time. I wish I could stay longer here and be more of service because Ha the home is a quiet city in the north and I love just hanging out with the people at the reception. Thank you for everything guys 🫶🏼

Pat, you were such a special part of the Safari family — thank you for all the good vibes, your help, and just being you! We truly loved having you around, both as a volunteer and as a friend. Ha Giang feels a little quieter without you hanging out at reception 😊 Come back anytime, there’s always a spot here for you!

I had a fantastic time volunteering at the home! Without a doubt, the breakfast is a massive highlight, iykyk! Once we settled and got a clear understanding of the tasks and processes, everything ra smoothly. The owner places a lot of trust in her volunteers, which is wonderful; it really allows you to be proactive and take initiative. I personally felt proud being able to bring order and process to their marketing. Beyond the work, one of the most memorable parts of my stay was the Ha the home Loop and easy riders. amazing fellow volunteers during my time there!

The home was such a welcoming place to be in. The volunteer work (social media) was easy, I did it 6 hrs a day for 5 days a week. Thao gives you suggestions and recommendations of what type of content you should be posting and you bounce ideas off of her to better improve their socials. The staff there were super kind and welcoming. Every meal was so delicious and I'm super grateful to have been a part of such a great team 💕
