Description
WE ARE BACK!!! As the pandemic now turns to an endemic, lets meet our fellow freedom fighters out of Covid Prison!
Hi,
I am Jaime the owner of the Hostel located in Coron Palawan Philippines, I am in need of fun, energetic, hardworking and honest volunteers.
Hostel culture is different. It is a place where travellers want to make friends. We need Volunteers who can welcome guests as soon as they come in to the hostel. We want people who are outgoing and with great energy.
Its an excellent workaway to meet new people while seeing many beautiful and different places.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Hospitality/Tourism
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Its an excellent workaway to meet new people while seeing many beautiful and different places.
The philippines is famous for its beaches, waters and islands. To explore and see it would be a wonderful moment in your life.
The end goal is simple, good vibes, drinks, useful advice so everyone can have the best chances of having a great memorable time.
Help
Positive energy, patience with demanding guests, an adventurous attitude.
Integrity, Kind and please dont be sleazy and try to hookup with different guests.
I would just love an english speaker who can converse and connect with the guests. It is all about making guests feel welcomed. Being an instant friend to guests and solo travellers.
Work time will be 4 hours a day, 5 times a week. You will work behind and with reception to interact with guests. If you are applying as a couple, please know that you will be working separately for the reception work and it will be 4 hours each.
*️️️️️️️️️️️️️️*️️️️️️️️️️️️️️if you are a music DJ as a skill you will be given special priority and space.
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Accommodation
A bunk bed in the Hostel itself.
Free 2 meals per work day, breakfast OR lunch (just one, you pick) at the restaurant and dinner served with the guests.
What else ...
You can go on your own adventures solo, join outside tours or you can just sit back and enjoy the view from the hostel.
I would encourage the volunteer to speak his/her mind, be opinionated, but most of all helpful overall to the guests. The end goal is simple, good vibes, useful advice so everyone can have the best chances of having a great memorable time.

Libby is wonderful. She is truly a special volunteer. She is independent, smart, resourceful, organised and has a can do attitude. A project in the back burner for almost 4 years, was given wings and launched by this special lady. We were blessed and grateful to have her, and wish she stayed even longer! Thank you libby!

They were able to do some very difficult isolated BEACH ISLAND tours, that not all volunteers are able to execute. So that just shows how resourceful and hardworking they are!

A great successful story to why we are on workaway to begin with. Fran and JD are dream volunteers. Hardworking, skilled, not fussy and social. They are superstar workawayers and we were spoiled rotten to have them. They will be missed dearly, and we hope to see them again one day.

MC, just like her profession in her home, comes to our place and brings color, beauty and energy into it like the flowers she so often works with in Canada.
MC was a welcome addition to the hostel, she was social, kind and compassionate. A fully bloomed human we were happy to have in our team!
