    Hey Workawayers! I’m a Norwegian American renovating a cool surf hostel in El Tunco, El Salvador! Help join me to make the place awesome!

    El Salvador is know for its surfing, and El Tunco is the center of surfing in El Salvador. Besides great surf, food, nightlife, people, sunsets… there is some of the most beautiful coastline I’ve seen, an epic waterfall nearby, and we are only 40 minutes from The Capital of San Salvador

    In El Salvador you will be immersed with the local culture and what better place than El Tunco.

    At our hostel we will be a family working together during the afternoons, going surfing, having bonfires, weekend adventures, and potentially going out for drinks.

    You’ll get the real experience meeting many locals and working with locals as we renovate the hostel. I’ll also introduce you to my local friends…
