Description
Hello!
This is Nacho, founder, a recently renewed hostel located in the heart of the national SURF capital, PICHILEMU, oriented to both, national and international tourists.
We are looking for lively enthusiastic friendly staff to mingle with the guests and create a great warm vibe whilst helping on daily tasks. Depending on the season you will share with 3 to 6 other volunteers and permanent staff members between 2-3.
We've been riding the waves of awesomeness for six whole years at our chill central located hostel! 🌊 Running this place has been one wild ride – full of highs, lows, and everything in between.
Our hostel isn't just a spot on the map; our hope is to make it a vibe, a community, and a place where memories are made.
We want YOU to jump on board! Whether you're quite person, motivation booster, or just spreading good vibes, there's a spot for you in our crew. We're not looking for suits; we're after folks who share our passion for making people feel comfortable and creating a vibe that everybody wants to be a part of.
So, if you're ready to swap your desk for sandy toes, embrace the sea breeze, make a pause on your trip, start here or end your magical travel through south america and join a crew that knows how to have a good time while getting stuff done, hit us up! Let's keep this awesome journey rolling.
Cheers to the good times ahead!Types of help and learning opportunities
