Helloooooo! Bonjour!
I am a perfectly bilingual Canadian from Montréal.

Quais são suas habilidades?
I have experience working with animals. I was a volunteer in a local no-kill cat shelter in Montreal for 2 years.
My tasks included feeding, medicating, cleaning, and loving all the cats.
I was also a foster home for one of the stray cats.
I am a certified English teacher (TEFL) and have over 3 years of experience teaching teenagers, children, and adults abroad. I have volunteered in English immersion programs, have given private lessons, and have taught in classrooms. I have also given French lessons.
I have a lot of experience volunteering in hostels, as of now I have volunteered in 17 hostels around the world. I can clean, make beds, work at reception, organize events, help host events, make posters, work behind the hostel bar, cook, and just generally be available to hang out with guests and make friends all over the world. :D
OTHER: I have some experience in laboratories and ecological excursions (studied Biology/Ecology). I am a beginner gardener but am enthusiastic to learn more.
I am READY and WILLING to get my hands dirty and work hard!!! :D
Idade
36
Algo mais...
I am really hardworking!! I like learning new things, improving my skills, and going above and beyond expectations.
I enjoy working with BIG and diverse groups of people but I am also VERY comfortable being alone and doing my own thing.

I stayed here for nearly two months and it was amazing! Miri is a wonderful host who knows everything about the place and can also recommend some good restaurants. He is a very easygoing guy who likes to hang out with the guests and volunteers, Most of the time, we would all just hang out with a beer and we would end up talking/drinking all night.… read more

I had a lovely experience working for Agnieszka and the other coordinators. As a native speaker you have speaking sessions with the Polish participants and do daily activities with them. You also help them prepare for a presentation so they can practice speaking in front of a group. Three meals are provided per day, free bed, and free tea/coffee… read more

I have volunteered in many hostels before but nothing compares to this wild and magical place. I connected instantly with the hostel as if it was a living and breathing organism. Every wall tells a story and every piece of furniture is used in a unique way. Everything runs so smoothly that I sometimes wonder if there is actual magic involved.… read more

She's everything you want from a colleague: Easy going, responsible, funny, warm hearted, really good at leading and working with groups. Last but not least, she's also proactive and has problem… read more

"Rosa" left long lasting impact on us. :)
She is so happy, outgoing and, on the side that she was with us in a "low" season, she did her best and more.
Totally recommending her to any host. You are going to love her as much as we loved and still love her!
