The Experience

Procuramos alguém comunicativo, organizado e aberto a novas culturas. Nossa casa é tranquila, limpa e acolhedora — e é importante falar inglês! Em troca da sua ajuda, você vive uma experiência cheia de aprendizado, a 5 min do metrô da Glória e perto do charme de Santa Teresa. Turno 10h–14h, folgas segunda e sexta. Você trabalhará com outra voluntária e uma pessoa fixa, em um ambiente leve e colaborativo. Aqui você realmente se sente em casa.

Working at the hostel was a wonderful experience. The schedule is flexible and the house is a place of peace in the middle of Rio. All you have to do is helping to maintain that good energy of the house. Julia is a great host, a kind and generous person. So far, it has been my favorite experience with Worldpackers. =) miss it already!

Mi voluntariado en el hostel Teresa fue mi primera experiencia como voluntaria y la verdad, no pudo ser mejor. El hostel es un lugar precioso, super tranquilo y se siente como casa. La experiencia me permitió mejorar mi portugués y conocer personas de todo el mundo. Julia y Flaviana son increíbles y siempre fueron muy gentiles conmigo, al igual que Adrielly, voluntaria y amiga; además, las tareas en el hostel fueron las acordadas y pude transitar mi experienicia de la mejor manera, alojándome en este hostel lleno de vida y paz en Río. Sin dudas, volvería mil veces. Siempre agradecida💛

Essa casa é um convite para se sentir acolhido em cada detalhe. Ampla, confortável e sempre bem cuidada, oferece quartos aconchegantes com camas que abraçam o descanso de quem chega cansado. As áreas comuns são limpas e organizadas. Aqui, cada canto tem o cuidado de quem entende que acolher vai além de oferecer um teto: é criar um ambiente onde todo mundo se sente parte da casa. Isso é muito importante para quem saiu de casa para desbravar o mundo a fora. Sou grata por esse tempo que passei noo hostel, obrigada de coração
