Description
Hello!

I'm Samuel, I am a hard worker, an honest person, and someone others can depend on. I like smiling, laughing, playing my guitar, singing with others, and having quality time with people~~~

I believe the the two most important things are 1. Experiencing new things in life, and 2. Our connection to other people and animals.

I love people, the connections I make while I travel. For me, knowing others for who they are and making them feel loved is the most important thing I can do. I enjoy playing music and singing with others, cooking together, or just spending time walking with people. I speak several languages for this reason.

I smile a lot, laugh often, and I really enjoy living life!!

I am traveling the world forever, been to 68 countries (and counting). One cool thing I've done: completed the 1,128 kilometer Kektura trail in Hungary.

(My one negative feedback was from a hostel that seriously wanted us to work 80+ hours a week, which I found to be exploitative and wrong. I'll work hard, but I expect fairness and human decency)

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
Ah, well like I said above, I have a list of skills. I could add that I am a painter, entertainer, writer, and I am good at listening to instruction and following through, while also having enough confidence to propose new ideas or suggestions. I love to play guitar- my style is Indie-Folk music.

Also, I speak several languages. English, German, and Spanish, as well as a small amount of Korean, Arabic, French, Russian, polish, and japanese

And, whether it's a skill or not, I really get alone with people. I love knowing new faces, hearing their stories, and listening to their adventures.

I am allergic to milk.

Hosts that offer 3 meals a day, or a weekly stipend to buy groceries, take priority.

Vadim and Basil are running a great operation in the hostel! Over all vibe is chill, easy going, and cozy.

Work is clearly defined, and jobs are easy to do. Highly recommend staying with them if you like a small cozy hostel atmosphere with some friendly cats and kind people. Location is great, people are great, hostel is great, there's nothing I… read more

Volunteering at the hostel was great!! The staff were very very nice, we always had a delicious breakfast included. Working there was relaxing and easy, with game nights and events. The pool was so refreshing, the rooms were perfect- basically its a great stay in the city and I highly recommend it! it's very close to other attractions.

Sam was an amazing volunteer who really brought the hostel atmosphere up. He was super social with the guests but also all the hostel staff loved his company. While he was doing the tasks he always chatted with us and he even thaught us English. The guests really loved Sam because he made everyone feel welcome and special. He also did amazing… read more

Working on the boat with Boris, Shirley, and the rest of the workaway team: amazing. If you are looking for an excellent workaway experience, look no further!!

Concerns workawayers might have:

Food: everyday you'll eat and cook from a variety of veggies and fruits. You'll never go hungry!

Work: 5 hours a day, no work on weekends, and the work… read more

Okay, so! After spending nearly three months here, it felt really strange to get back on the road! The hostel truly felt like a second home for me, and I will miss everyone there. Let me quickly rave about the place before I list the pros and cons~~

First of all: Julia and Verona. These two are really great to work for and learn from. They defend… read more their volunteers like lions, and will be sure to support you over the guests. This is very important because it happens sometimes that people come who are rude or mean. It's so good to know that they value human experience more than profit, and this really shines forth. The city is beautiful: So relaxed and open, lots of growth here, and the people are kind.

Pros:
1.Work is very simple: Basic receptionist duties, making people feel welcomed and cared for, and keeping an eye out for things like messy rugs.
2. Occasionally, you may be asked to help with additional projects like painting murals, rocks, or other things. These are done on your shift time.
3.The hostel attracts some of the greatest people ever!! It seems like 99/100 people are wonderful humans with great ambitions and kind hearts. The other staff are also wonderful! I've been good friends with staff, as well as guests alike.
4. It is very easy to enjoy your time here, even if you are working. You can practice your Spanish with Tati, or your Albanian or Italian with Verona and Juli. Speaking of which, they are very accommodating for your needs.
5. I always need a set schedule, and they helped alot with that :).
6. The building itself is great! Orange, lemon, and mandarin trees litter the grounds, the beds are alright (you will get a set down bed in one of the rooms). The kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, plates, and dishes for you to use. And the hostel is very close to all the main attraction, clubs, bars, and centers. There is laundry, Wi-Fi, and showers.
7. Breakfast is ALWAYS superb.

Cons: Sometimes you must be persistent about asking for food. This wasn't a problem for me because I ate out most of the time anyway (a big hot sandwich for 80 cents, whaaaat).
CONCLUSION:
DO NOT HESITATE TO VOLUNTEER HERE!! it really is such a wonderful place. Juli, Verona, and Tati are so kind, the guests will be your best friends, and the city is beautiful. Seriously, I cannot recommend this place enough times, I was sad that I was leaving!! It is such a good work away :)
If you have any other questions, feel free to PM me.

Julia, Verona, Tati, I miss you guys already!! I hope to see you again, and you are always welcome in my home! (whenever I actually go back home of course). Love you guys so much!!

-Sam

Sam stayed with us for two weeks in in September and we were really happy to have him here. He was such a lovely guest and did fit in easily, always happy, smiling, interested in learning new things and so much fun to have around. We also had lots of interesting conversations about a wide range of themes.
When working, Sam was absolutly willing… read more

Wow, what an awesome place!!!

I seriously cannot recommend this workstay enough: Everyone made me feel like a part of their family, the work wasn't too hard, the food was amazing and delicious, and I was able to learn so much about horses and an alternative way to train them.

Working for this Hostel in Zakopane was truly a wonderful experience!! The work was absolutely reasonable, and sometimes, it did not even feel like work. I am so appreciative that I could have learned from such great people like Marzena or Guido or Aga, and all the other staff here. Everyone was very kind and helpful; I learned so much!!
