Descrição
Hi there!

We are a young couple with two small kids in Huanchaco, Peru. We have our hostel with yoga studio in this cool beach town for a few years. The hostel is just opening again and we are organizing ourselves, looking how to work while the amount of tourists increases.

The hostel is in a central location, half a block from the sea, with waves to surf right in front. There is a great kitchen to use, wi-fi through the whole building. Many spaces to chill, sea views from the roof terrace!

We also have a tortoise walking around!

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
Huanchaco is full of local life, foreigners, tourists, fishermen, surfers.. The hostel used to be a happening place with people from many countries around the world. Huanchaco is a great place to work on your Spanish. There are many archeological sites in the area.
Ajuda
We are currently working with two volunteers. They work the evening from 5.30pm till 10.30pm, one day on one day off continuously. On average one day per week you start at 3pm instead of 5.30pm. The evening shift consists of receiving guests, helping people with their bookings, and possibly a sweep, folding some sheets, cleaning up the kitchen, or little things like that.
Volunteers can take yoga classes at a reduced rate. Can also use our laundry facilities for free.
We are also looking for yoga teachers. The teachers can stay in the volunteer room and earn a large percentage of the class turnover.

Inglês: Fluente
Espanhol: Fluente
Acomodação
We have a private room for volunteers only.
Algo mais...
In Huanchaco you will meet many locals, many tourists and there are plenty of interesting things to do and see in the area. It is a great place for surfing or to work on your Spanish. You can also work with street dogs in the area. Huanchaco has a very cheap cost of living.

Deixado pelo Workawayer (Alanda & Brian) para o anfitrião

Working here was an experience Brian and I will never forget. We fell in love with this place and Huanchaco, and we ended up extending our stay for two full months of volunteering and enjoying life in this beachside paradise. Paul runs the hostel and Dani manages the yoga. We could really tell that Paul and Dani care about maintaining a high… read more standard for the hostel and it's guests, as well as the volunteers, and it was a pleasure to work with such a sweet and caring couple (and baby Julian!). We dream of opening our own hostel someday in the future, so working here was a great opportunity for us to learn how a well managed hostel operates on a day to day basis.

This is a quiet laid-back hostel, where most guests like to cook their own food (in the amazing kitchen which we already miss!), practice yoga, surf, and hangout in one of the large common areas. The hostel tends to attract people with good vibes, and we ended up making many new friends. The hostel is really clean and well-designed. It is located slightly farther from where most of the other hostels are grouped together by the pier, but Huanchaco is so small this is not a problem. This also means the hostel is more quiet.
The hostel cat, Fidel (we suggest to change the name to Fidel Catro), was a cool kitty.

The volunteer work is well organized with clear instructions, and the work is relatively easy. There are some busy mornings, if there are a lot of checkouts, but honestly it makes the shift go by much faster. Volunteers work 3 days in a row, followed by a day off, and each rotating shift lasts 5 hours. Because of the shift rotation, your last day finishes with a morning shift, then have the rest of the day off, you then have the next day off, and you don't start the next work day shift until 5:30p in the evening, so it almost feels like having 2 full days off. Every volunteer we worked with appreciated that the shifts were rotated in this manner, and we were allowed to trade shifts with fellow volunteers if needed. Volunteers get to take free yoga classes, and can use the volunteer surf boards (4 boards) and wetsuits (3 suits). Paul maintains updated volunteer instructions, and has a weekly schedule with daily checklist to guide volunteers. There is a Whatapp group amongst the volunteers and Paul and Dani, so everyone can communicate any issues, ideas, or just joke around.

Paul and Dani constructed this hostel themselves, and it is clear that they really care about it. Paul is a good communicator, and his Dutch directness is a real advantage when working with volunteers from different nationalities. Paul and Dani are open to suggestions or recommendations you might have based on your observations as a volunteer. Usually one of the volunteers is also the yoga teacher. The yoga teacher/volunteers got to gain experience teaching yoga, while receiving a share of the revenue from their classes. We had a unique opportunity to help manage the hostel for Paul and Dani, while they traveled for a week with their parents and new born child, Julian, to Lima. They put their trust in us, and we got the valuable experience of running a highly rated and successful hostel.

Thank you so much Paul and Dani (and Julian) for all of the great memories and the trust you've put in us! It was an honor to work for such sincere and honest people and we hope to meet you again someday!
