Help
We are looking for Workawayers to help out with organising charity events, promoting the events and leading them. Helping to create a positive vibe within the hostel environment. Additionally we would love artists to leave their mark in our social place.
At the moment, we are looking for people with previous hostel experience, who are social and can bring the social backpacker vibe to our hostel. Additionally, we love to open the opportunity for people to leave their personal mark at our hostel, by sharing skills you have (maybe art, plant care etc.) with our local staff and other guests.
We would prefer volunteers who would be happy to stay for at least one month and would be happy for couples to apply.
Please send us a message with a bit about your travels and passions :)
We have 30+ local staff and are not searching for people to fill their positions, rather we would like backpackers to initiate a vibe within the hostel.
