Descrição
Hola amigos,

thanks for reading our WorkAway profile!
We are a medium sized hostel in Leon-Nicaragua. We are open since 2017 and loving every day of it. We have space for 38 guests. Our keyword is social, we strive to connect travelers from all over the world. We focus on the details and always want to offer the best quality to our guests.

Almost all our staff is Nicaraguan, something we find very important. The team consists of 3 receptionist, 3 cleaners and 2 guards. Most of them have been working with us for years, we really are a family. Volunteers are needed to help with the social interaction between guests. This means doing the evening activities.

The hostel is started by Dutch couple Wouter and Sophie in 2017, who have 100% realized their dream with this project. They also own a coffeeshop in the city of Leon. They love traveling and drinking coffee :)

You will stay for minimum 1 month.

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
When you are part of our team in the hostel, you will become part of the family. You play an important role in this, you will need to have an active approach. Other than the local staff you will get to know many more people in Leon, staff and volunteers from other hostels and travel agencies. You will go out with our guests and you will get to know sooo many people. Most volunteers just keep on extending their stay with us, which can only mean one thing!
Ajuda
We need a social and outgoing person who wants to connect to other people.
This means organizing , doing evening activities, going out with guests etc.

Best Workaway experience so far! This hostel is a very special place with the nicest people ever :) We had to organize social activities on the evening but everything felt like enjoying time with friends, it was amazing! I can't thank the owners enough for letting me stay here, and also the manager and the whole team who made me want to come back… read more

Had the best time volenteering at this hostel, the only bad bit was leaving! This was a really fun volenteering experience, I constantly had opportunities to meet and chat with new travelers and locals aswell as explore Leon.
The work was super fun and social, and all the staff at the hostel were so amazing (I miss them all already!)
Thank you… read more

I spent a little under a month and had a good time. There is a little bit of misinformation in the workaway ad so I wanted to make sure some things were cleared up. You do not get two full days off, you are required to work every day. Some days are very minimal work, but you have responsibilities every day of the week. Therefore, you cannot really… read more take any trips about the country, which I had expected to be able to do from reading the profile. Hopefully this will get changed in the future. You also have to cook for 20+ people, 2 nights per week, which is not mentioned either. I do not particularly enjoy cooking, especially for large groups of people, so that was not the greatest surprise. It can get chaotic, especially if there are only 2 volunteers. If you don't enjoy cooking, I might look elsewhere. If you enjoy or tolerate cooking, you won't mind those nights at all but be prepared. Don't want to be a downer, just want to make sure anyone interested has all the info!

It is very very hot in Leon and it gets exhausting dealing with the heat, so be prepared for that. There is honestly also not much to do in the surrounding area once you've done all the cool things-- walking tour, volcano boarding, art gallery. After that, it's pretty much only nightlife. Which is why I thought it might be nice to be able to travel to different areas. If you enjoy partying and going out a lot, this would be a great place for you. I found myself getting bored during the day because it was so hot and I didn't know what to do so I think this place is best for a digital nomad or someone who has stuff to do during the day. If you're a woman or someone who who is female-presenting, you will get catcalled and stared at. All the time. Just a heads up.

Now to the good stuff. The highlight of my experience was the staff at the hostel by far. The receptionists, manager and other employees were so kind and helpful. They never hesitated to help me get directions or information for various things and they were so helpful and patient with my little knowledge of Spanish. I met Wouter and Sophie only briefly because they have a few kiddos and are busy running the hostel but I interacted with the manager and other staff frequently and they were all amazing. You'll definitely become friends with them. The breakfast is amazing (best pancakes ever) and the events are a lot of fun. I enjoyed going to the beach, doing salsa and watching movies when possible. Having laundry right at the hostel was a huge plus also.

Suggestions for Leon: Coco Calala, Kiss Me, Art Gallery, The Revolution Museum, thrift shopping, volcano boarding and exploring the markets.

Suggestions for Granada: Laguna de Apoyo and the Treehouse.

Overall, I had a decent time but honestly could not stand the heat. I believe the owners are in the process of adding a pool to the hostel, so that will be an amazing addition and will definitely help with that issue! Final thoughts: I'd suggest staying here if you're very very outgoing and like to meet people, don't mind cooking, like going out and experiencing nightlife, don't mind hot weather, will enjoy doing once-in-a-lifetime activities like volcano boarding and want to make friends because trust me, you WILL make friends. The community of backpackers, locals and volunteers here are awesome. I truly miss everyone at the hostel.

Please don't hesitate to message me if you have any questions about this experience!
