    Description

    Hi everyone!
    I am Cristian and I have just opened a small art hostel in the oasis of Todos Santos.
    I am looking for volunteers to help me keep the place running harmoniously while putting that little something that makes a place magical and special.
    As a traveler that is coming to experience this bohemian town lost in the middle of nowhere, you are going to be up for many surprises, the art scene here is very interesting and the wilderness is something so unique that it is paired with the Galapagos Islands.
    You won't need a car to move around town here as the centro is a 20 min walk through the town's beautiful green oasis.
    You are welcome to come to experience La Sardina, the town's newest hostel with its barefoot vibe, tall palm trees, and funky architecture. If you are handy, proactive, and responsible, give us a shout, we are looking for your help.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are in an expensive town and a place to stay is very hard to find. We are offering a super-centric location with a laid-back vibe.
    We will be happy to show you around town and introduce you to our friends who are mainly local artists, bohemians, and misfits.
    Our schedule is usually 3 days on, and 4 days off. Unless you are babysitting Sebastian, the schedule would change according to the needs and working plan we have for the little bugger.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    A bunk in a shared room (8 people), a basic dispensary, and lots of coffee.
    The place has got hot water, electricity, high-speed internet, and an outdoor kitchen.

    We always have coffee, tortillas (Corn or wheat depending on the mood), eggs, and beans for breakfast. Usually whoever wakes up first puts the coffee and after that, someone cooks.
    There is a spot for volunteers, where we keep rice, lentils, beans, pasta, and other none perishables, with lots of different spices. some veggies
    I don't usually buy meat, but am not close to having some during the week.
    It's a very relaxed vibe, so everyone eats at their own time or organizes to make a communal meal.
    We make paellas on Sundays sometimes and sell them to friends who like to come and have a big gathering.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Downtown is walking distance, the beach is close by, there is a new art venue in the oasis not too far from us. A lot of galleries and a few bars (the cool ones) nearby. Two very popular cafes to work.
    There is a hidden damn that is really close by. Locals swim in it and foreigners have no clue about the cristal clear river that passes through.
    There is a ceremonial space nearby with temazcal and medicine plant ceremonies, as well as a yoga/health center.
