Description
Hola, I'm Leif from Switzerland/Sweden, renting the hostel from Camilo, a 25 year old Colombian who's always been very passionate about traveling/backpacking - we both want to create an amazing place for travelers to come and enjoy. I'm the only permanent staff and I love hosting people - being a good host is my job, but I've found that with 2-3 volunteers at a time, we can run this hostel even more succesfully.
The hostel is placed in Jericó, one of the most beautiful towns in Antioquia/Colombia. Just a 5 minute walk from the main square, this is a beautiful location with a lot of exposure to locals, a river and many amazing walks. There are several good restaurants in town, all within walking distance; from pizzerias to local menú del días and great street food, so you'll always have options. There are river swimming spots just 30 minutes away walking, for anyone who wishes to visit. There's a variety of museums in town, ranging from history to music and art, which makes this town of the most cultured in Colombia.
It's possible to rent both bikes (for volunteers, it's free!) and motorbikes at the hostel, for those who want to expand their horizons :).
P.S: We ask for a minimum stay of 3 weeks, but longer is even better! I am also looking for someone who would want to take on more responsibility, like reception of guests and some other management tasks, or even to run the hostel for a few weeks!

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
As a Colombian, it's always a pleasure to teach travelers about our culture and language. It's easy to interact with the locals of Jericó, practice Spanish, learn how a Hostel is set up, and how it operates. You'll have a lot of nature nearby to have beautiful views everyday.
Aide
We're looking for motivated people to help with cleaning, laundry, small daily tasks and general help within the hostel.
I am also looking for people who are interested in learning reception/management tasks who could run the hostel for a day or two at a time :)
