Luci is a great salsa teacher and she also did some good classes for our guests but should say she has her own agenda behind the curtains and she is very lucrative in evading tasks which are allocated to her by giving various excuses. So if you are looking for a dedicated yet a committed workawayer I would think twice about Luci. Also make sure… read more

Sofie was amazing, she is very focussed and knowledgable. Also she is very self initiative so you can simply just let her handle pretty much anything. During the time she was volunteering with us she made sure she kept all the rooms, floors clean and shopping and most of all having everything organized. Highly recommend her for your next project!

I had a good time in the hostel where they were setting up the place and getting ready for guests.
My time was organized in shifts and quite straight forward in terms of duties. We had to keep the place tidy and clean, prepare breakfast for the guests and other tasks depending on the day including some painting and sanding wood.
