I enjoyed palermo as a city and the hostel was nice and clean. The working hours were respected and were just a few a day, the host did also warn that it would be hot while working which i respected. I felt that a lot and was expected and the work was hard considering we were volunteers, not paid workers. Unfortunately I had to leave early which the host got mad about even though it's compeletely in the rights of a worldpacker :)

You have every right to leave, but it's not fair that you're staying for six days when you told me you'd stay more than a month. We don't accept volunteers for a week. I wasn't angry, but rather explained that you were breaking a promise.

Fue un placer poder realizar este voluntariado en lo de Yuri y su madre. Aprendie, conoci y fui a lugares muy lindos, palermo es una ciudad con muchas energías. Comparti con Yuri un dia de termas y con pia un dia de playa. Agradecido de que me Abram las puertas de su hostel y de su casa. Fue una estaría tranquila

La mia esperienza all'ostello è stata sensazionale. Sono stata accolta benissimo da Yuri e Pia. Anche se praticamente non parlo italiano, loro sono stati super pazienti nello spiegarmi tutto e nell'aiutarmi in ogni cosa. Il lavoro è molto semplice e tranquillo, ho scelto la modalità di 3 ore e avevo ancora tempo libero. L'ostello è situato in una posizione perfetta, nel centro storico e vicinissimo a tutti i bar. La pasta al pesto 💙 Sono davvero molto, molto grata a voi per tutto, porto con me un ricordo bellissimo de Palermo grazie voi. È stato un privilégio per me! Grazie mille 💙
