It’s been a while since I volunteered with Lum and not a day goes by without me missing this hostel. This was hands-down my favorite workaway experience (and I had plenty of amazing ones before). I planned on staying for three weeks and ended up staying for two months.

Long story short, Tulum has changed my life & the whole experience was just… read more

Marcia,
What a wonderful time we had! How bright, cheerful and true you were each and every day! It was a pleasure to have you in our home and at the school. You left us better than you found us and I am truly grateful for that. You were such a hard worker and made my first Workaway experience so great! It was a pleasure having you in NJ and at… read more

What a beautiful experience it was to meet Donnetta, Yuri, and everybody that surrounds this family! I have been so profoundly touched by their grace, wit, and kindness and I’m so grateful I got to spend a month with them... Bottom line, don’t wait one more second: apply for this place right now and thank me later. If you need more details, just… read more keep reading and I'll try my best to convey the amazingness of this workaway :)

Work: Everything about this volunteering is just perfection. you help out around the house and at the school. For me, a lover of theatre, this is a match made in heaven. My tasks included things like put together an inventory of theatre costumes, help plan their social media strategy, restore some chairs, organize cabinets and assist Donnetta while she was cooking one of her delicious meals.

Location: oh, beautiful New Jersey. The Garden State will be forever in my heart after this experience. Donnetta’s house is located on an amazing township that’s very peaceful, and interesting. You’re also a short trip away from New York and Philadelphia, so you can visit lots of amazing places on your days off.

Volunteer benefits: you’ll have a beautiful room with a super comfy bed and high-speed internet. You’ll also have amazing, hearty, healthy meals daily. I don’t think I ever ate this healthy while traveling. I’ll miss Donnetta’s food so much (But I’ll miss her even more).

Hosts: how do I even start? Donnetta and Yuri welcomed me to their beautiful house as If I was a long-time friend. They showed me so many amazing places in Princeton, Brooklyn, and Manhattan. We went to the movies, restaurants, parks, museums… Many times I couldn’t believe this was actually a Workaway gig and not a friends reunion. We’ve had so many great conversations on culture, race, politics, and just life in general. They were genuinely interested in knowing about my culture and very open to sharing theirs.

TL;DR: If you love theatre and music; if you want to have a female role model who’s bright, empowered and fierce; if you want to experience what’s life in the US with a welcoming family; if you want to be inspired on a daily basis … come volunteer here. I promise you this is going to be one of the best experiences of our life.

Donnetta, Yuri. I’m trying to keep it short, but it’s so hard to be concise when you want to shout out to the world how grateful you are. Thanks for everything you’ve done for me, thanks for allowing this goofy Latina lady to be part of your family, thanks for all the laughs and cookies and good times. I’ll never forget you guys and I hope you don’t forget me <3 <3

Marcia es una Chica muy responsable e interesante de conocer, lo que mas me gustó de marcia es que ha sido una de las pocas voluntarias que ha dedicado tiempo libre en conocer el lugar donde esta, eso me hizo sentir que yo en algo puede aportar a su experiencia,

This hostel has the potential to become one of the best volunteering gigs in Pucón.
I stayed there for 23 days and it was overall a good experience.
Staff: Gonzalo and Fabrizio will treat you like you are part of their family. I really felt welcomed by both of them. Also, they both speak English but they’ll encourage you to practice your Spanish,… read more

Marcia is a very smart and cool girl. She learned everything quickly and always did her job the way it was supposed to. She's got a great sense of responsability and smiles while doing the duties.
Thanks for staying with us and keep doing the best Netflix translations!
Hugs!

This was truly a great, unforgettable experience. There’s a lot of volunteering gigs in hostels all over Valpo, but I’m willing to bet this is one of the best arrangements out there. Here’s why:
Management: Michael, the manager, and Paul, the owner, are the sweetest people you’ll ever meet. I can’t stress this enough. This is definitely important… read more

Marcia!
She is really nice, she's always smiling and she was always willing to help and very responsible!
She wanted the nightshift with the night receptionist, so she could make some personal work while the Hostel was sleeping.
I'm very happy that you enjoyed your staying in here. Thank you so much for your help and your good vibes! From the… read more

My trip to Chile didn't even have a stop in La Serena, but as soon as I read about this hostel I decided to try and volunteer there. Boy, am I'm glad I did it. The hostel is beautiful, the people are amazing and the city is a delight.

The working hours are fair, so you have plenty of time to explore the area. As for the work, I got some morning… read more
