Indeed I volunteer twice in a Backpackers in South Africa and I worked for 6 months as a receptionist in a busy backpackers in Sydney and Bratislava. I like it because the job varies a lot.

I love meeting new people as for me it is the base of travelling!
I can't wait to hear from you.

Wow, Matt's place is the perfect definition of what a workaway is supposed to be : a cultural exchange.
I stayed there 5-6 weeks and from day one I felt like being part of the family. An international one. I had the chance to meet a lot of locals people and live like them.

Working in hostel during Corona time can be a bit different and tricky but Asen and the staff made sure the volunteers were feeling comfortable.
The job is pretty straightforward but it is much appreciated when well executed. Also the job can be done in a couple of hours which gives the volunteers plenty of time to explore the city.

Pauline came to volunteer with us for two weeks and was absolutely amazing to have around. Even though it was a quiet period at the hostel Pauline brought in a lot of joy and energy to the hostel making it seem more full then it was. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and would love to have her back at any time!

I couldn't expect a better place to do my first workaway experiment. The people are awesome and very welcoming. I spent 2 amazing months and it became more than a mere workaway mission. And John, you know, I will be back to help you again, if you need to!
Thank you so much for welcoming me here!
