The experience

Floripa Surf Hostel is a cozy beachside hostel, owned and operated by a local family who lives on-site. We’re looking for kind, positive people to help us keep the good vibes flowing and the space well-organized.
🌊As a small hostel, it’s a great place to connect with guests from around the world and experience the local culture in an authentic way.
🏖️As a surf hostel, the atmosphere is laid-back and peaceful — this is not a party hostel.

Program Details

📣 We Need a Helping Hand at the Hostel!
This semester, my wife and I will be quite busy with studies and taking care of our kids, so we’re looking for reliable packers to help us manage the day-to-day operations of the hostel.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Being available during your shifts to assist guests
- Handling check-ins and check-outs
- Helping maintain the cleanliness of shared and outdoor areas (which you’ll also be using)
- Supporting with any occasional tasks that may come up and require attention
🌍 Around 90% of our guests communicate in English, so fluency in the language is essential.
We’re counting on people who are proactive, responsible, and ready to keep the good vibes going while helping us care for the space and our guests.
