    Description

    Hello, fellow adventurers!

    I'm Reed, a Canadian from Vancouver Island, BC, and for the past three years, I've been soaking up the sun and vibrant culture of Puerto Princesa on Palawan Island, Philippines. This lively city serves as the perfect gateway to explore the island's gems -- head north to the pristine beaches of Port Barton and El Nido, or venture south to the breathtaking landscape of Balabac.

    At the heart of this tropical paradise is a Hostel, a cozy and welcoming spot that I've had the pleasure of running. Our hostel offers comfortable dormitory and private rooms, complete with secure storage and free Wi-Fi. The common are is designed for relaxation and socializing, featuring a lounge with a TV and a kitchen serving up delicious homemade meals.

    I have a small but awesome local team. 1 super friendly receptionist, 2 hardworking cleaning staff and me -- I mostly handle the cooking and those late night check-ins. But the real bosses are our two fur babies! Rica (dog), the ever-enthusiastic greeter, makes sure everyone feels welcome, while our royal feline, Abby demands endless cuddles in the hammocks!

    BUT that's not all! Hostel boasts a beachfront area equipped with two traditional nipa huts, providing the perfect setting for a relaxing day off. For those interested in surfing, we have boards available for beginner surfers to use and enjoy the waves.

    We're also excited to introduce our new island podcast, where we will dive into engaging interviews with our diverse and fascinating guests. It's a platform to share stories, experiences and the unique perspective that each traveler brings to our hostel.

    ABOUT YOU:

    We're on the lookout for a dynamic individual with social media savvy to help us amplify our presence online. If you're passionate about creating engaging content and are eager to contribute to promoting our day trips and podcast, we'd love to hear from you. Your role would involve crafting compelling or interesting posts and ideas to engage with our community, and showcasing the unforgettable experiences that Hostel offers.

    In exchange for your expertise, we offer comfortable accommodation, 3 delicious meals daily, and the chance to find yourself in the vibrant culture of Puerto Princesa.

    WHEN: We're looking for awesome Workawayers between October and June.

    If you're ready for an adventure and keen to make a meaningful impact, send us a message. Let's create unforgettable experiences together !

    Looking forward to welcoming you to our island family.
