    WE HAVE A SPOT AVAILABLE FROM THE 24TH OF APRIL AND 2ND OF MAY 2024! TEXT US SOON ! :)

    Are you ready for a fun adventure in one of the most green hostels in Sri Lanka? We’re looking for a couple of extra hands to help us throughout the season!

    If you want to stay in Sri Lanka a little bit longer, enjoy the surf and the sunshine and meet new people, come volunteer at our hostel! We work hard, but we also play hard so don’t worry there will be more than enough time to chill at the beach, go surfing or explore the local towns and places.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Our hostel is in a small town called Hiriketiya on the South Coast. We have multiple local staff members that would love to teach you some Sinhala and tell you everything about the local culture. We’re also set on creating an international social vibe, so meeting new people and sharing travel stories is in our DNA.

    Barefoot is looking for the following throughout the whole year:

    1. Social hosts: Outgoing people who like to have fun and entertain the guests in the evenings
    2. Mural artists: Experience with murals and like to be creative at the hostel

    What is the job of a social host? It's easy and fun!

    As a social host you’re the ‘face and glue’ of the hostel. It’s expected from a social host to be friendly, open minded and try to involve people in the evening activities. We have scheduled some activities like karaoke night, hostel night and we’re going to a bunch of restaurants in town. Also we’re going to a ‘party’ on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Make sure people sign up on the board at the reception so you can reserve a table at the venue. The best part: you get at most venues free dinner and at some venues free (multiple) drinks!

    You can do your own thing during the day, but during the evening we expect you to be back at the hostel at around 18:00/18:30 so you can get the vibe starting already.

    Our volunteers can stay in one of the bunk beds in the dorms at the hostel. We have outside showers and toilets: just imagine yourself showering in the sunshine and looking up to the palm trees, welcome to paradise!

    We offer you free accommodation and free drinks in the evening! Like we said before: most venues offer us free dinners and some drinks!

    We won’t be providing any meals included ourself, but we know a great local restaurant where you can eat rice & curry buffet for $1, so no worries!

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    We are sure you will enjoy your stay with us! We have amazing beaches and if you’re a surfer, you can catch some great waves. If you want to learn, there are enough places where you can take a lesson. A bigger town with a supermarket is only a 10-minute walk and the best part: you can walk on the beach to the supermarket!

    Also there are enough sights you can go to (a must-visit is the local market in town!), you can visit other towns on the South Coast. Trust us, you won't be bored here.
