Description
Join our big family of helpers and local staff in creating and running this hostel.

We are a new tourists & backpackers hostel. Created on the run from day one, but still much to do.

Located in the town center just 100 meters from the water line of the Sea of Galilee and a short ride away from many nature attraction and beaches. Tiberias saw much better days but its still a perfect hub to explore the north of Israel, Galilee, Golan Heights, Jordan valley and the lake. And we have come to provide a good home base for travelers.

Its been more than 3 years since we took the place and have been renovating and designing on the run, there is still plenty to do.

We have been working day and night to turn it into a comfortable base for guests to head out and explore the area of the Sea of Galilee. we collect information for our guests and staff to explore the nature and its activities and communities, and we provide detailed information on sites.

You are welcome to join this project and growing family, take part in daily chores of cleaning and maintenance or if you have good hands or experience help in renovation, setting up the daily routines .

the volunteer staff composes of 3-7 people on top of 3-5 regular staff members.

- we currently need :
*️️️️️️️ maintenance that knows how to clean and generally keep the place awesome
*️️️ good hands for woodwork, painting, construction and renovation.
*️️️️️️️ graphic design to make signs,map and flyers
*️️️️️️️ art projects - mural painting, furniture decoration. send us some of your art work.
*️️️️️️️ entertainment- night swim, beer pong, social games, etc, showing the guests a good time.
We will be happy to have you and your skill to bring back life to this hostel, renovate, invent, and explore what the beautiful nature around has to offer tourists.

Hope to see you here with us !

Sara stayed with us only one week but her presence and contribution are still here. She helped us in any way she could and was great to work with. Except of being a great help she is also a great person, funny and interesting with a special view of life.
Thank you for everything and we hope you come again.

This hostel is an island of life and diversity in the beautiful sea of peace of Tiberias, in a country of crazy life and big diversity.
