It was my first volunteering, and I am very happy with it. Every day is different, always a good amount of various tasks to solve. I loved especially, that Sandra always gave me direct feedback - what I can improve. And also we had a lot of talks, about everything else than leading a successful hostel... :)
Thanks, and till next time!
