    Looking for social volunteers, a yoga instructor in food heaven Oaxaca City, Mexico
    (Looking for a Graphic Designer. Message for more info)

    Hi, we are a group of friends (American, Mexican and Belgian) who met 2 years ago and decided to start a hostel for Digital Nomads (People who work online and travel).

    Our Project is creating a community.
    We are a Hostel that is known for its community among the guests. Everyone talks to each other here. Not like other hostels where it sometimes can get quiet.

    We have a massive kitchen, here is where most people always hang out.
    Our rooftop is pretty big, big enough for you to hang around with people or just to be by yourself. Whatever mood you would be in.
    Every week we host between 3-6 activities

    We would need you to just make sure we have a super social vibe with everyone :D It's only a couple of shifts a week and 1 activity (You choose which activity you would like to host)

    We have 4 local staff that do the cleaning and maintenance in the facility. So good news, you don't have to do the cleaning haha.
    We want you to focus on community vibe and not have to worry about this.
