It was a pleasure having Carol here. She's a very hard worker, has a positive attitude, and is a pleasure to have around. Although we're sad to see her go, we wish here all the best in her travels wherever they take her; any host that is fortunate to have her would not regret it.
I love this place so much! All the staff looks like a family, I will miss them. The hours of work are not heavy and you still have the opportunity to meet the other hostels that are part of the hostel network. the hostel is a great place for anyone who is looking for a quiet trip, opportunity to get to meet the mountains of California, ski and have fun!

Caroline is a hardworker. She is responsible and committed. Caroline has a very sweet and positive attitude and she has a willingness to learn. She gets along very well with her fellow volunteers. -Nancy-
This is a wonderful place! the hostel is right in the center, close to all the places that you can visit. The city is beautiful and you will be able to know many things. Nancy, Amy, James, and all the folks at the hostel are good people. And if you come you must to taste Nancy's brownies, they are the best in the world! The work in the hostel is not heavy, you can work and have fun after your work hours, they always comply with the agreed and if you have any problems you can talk directly with them. It was definitely the best experience I've had and I hope to one day be able to return.

Me joguei nessa aventura procurando me descobrir e estou aqui para encorajar você a fazer o mesmo. Não sei se falar minha idade assusta ou ajuda a motivar ainda mais as pessoas, mas tenho 18 anos, e desde os 15 percebi que não podia deixar de descobrir o que o mundo me oferecia. Apesar da pouca idade, viajar me trouxe experiências enriquecedoras que amo compartilhar para ajudar os outros. Assim como a maioria, o medo nunca deixou de me acompanhar , e até hoje em todas as mudanças da minha vida ele me visita; temos que aprender a lidar com isso para sairmos da nossa zona de conforto ou nunca iremos realizar nossos sonhos. Depois que viajarem pela primeira vez descobrirão que há muitas coisas que simplesmente não podemos explicar em palavras, são indescritíveis!
Estarei aqui esperando suas dúvidas para te deixar ainda mais seguro para sua experiência. A sua hora de conhecer o mundo chegou! não deixe sua mente criar desculpas para te impedir de realizar isso.
