Description
Hi! I’m Gela. I’m a creative soul who decided to leave city life behind and move to Liwliwa. Like many wanderers, I fell in love with this place the moment I first saw it. It’s a small community with rich character and unique charm. I manage the hostel, which has been my second home for quite some time. I am working alongside three staff members and two front desk personnel to create a welcoming environment for our guests.

You can help us tidy up the place by doing housekeeping or if you have exceptional taste buds you can also cook. We’re pretty much chill about our daily routine but we appreciate any form of help that can improve the hostel and the Liwliwa community.
You can help by:
- Maintaining hostel cleanliness (Housekeeping)
- Preparing and cooking meals exclusively for hostel staff use
- Doing basic carpentry
- Bathing and feeding resident pets
- Pick up and delivery of laundry (Must know how to drive a manual transmission vehicle)

It is difficult to find words to describe the atmosphere that surrounds the hostel. Erish and Angela are two pure souls, ready to open their hearts to new cultures and personalities, however different. And they are not the only ones, the staff is entirely special.
