Reception, Night Shift, Kitchen Hand, and Cleaning
Carol was at our hotel, and we could count on her help. Very attentive and eager to take on all tasks, she speaks several languages, which was very useful when communicating with the guests. We hope to count on her help again in the future.
El hotel es un hostal diferente por ofrecer comodidades como hidromasaje y jacuzzi para todos, su estructura, la piscina y su ubicación céntrica pero tranquila, te permiten disfrutar al máximo. Los días y horarios del intercambio fueron respetados, habia poco movimiento por la temporada baja pero se aprovechan bien los momentos. Muchas gracias chicos! 🫂✨🤍🌴
Night Shift, Cleaning, Housekeeping, and Reception
Carol, an excellent person. We felt comfortable with her stay here. She was a great help in the various areas of the hotel: cleaning, kitchen, and customer service at the rest bar. Her volunteering days were very productive. I would recommend her 100%. A good person, very cordial, attentive and always eager to help at any moment.
Una muy buena experiencia con oportunidades de crecimiento en todo sentido. Todo el staff fue simpático y súper atentos. Los horarios fueron respetados y las tareas bien tranquilas, inclusive tuve la suerte que me ofrecieran hacer más horas de forma remunerada que me ayudó bastante! El restaurante y hostel están bien ubicados frente al mar y cerca de todo. El cuarto con baño privado súper cómodo, pero lamentablemente no tenía circulación de aire y el aire acondicionado no estaba funcionando y el ventilador sólo hacía circular el calor. A pesar de eso fue bueno pasar por Salinas🤍 Gracias!🫂♥️

El hostel fue un lugar hermoso que te abraza en todo sentido, desde el intercambio justo y súper flexible para poder disfrutar del maravilloso Cusco y alrededores, la ubicación en el centro histórico para hacer cada día caminatas increíbles llenas de historias en cada esquina, las experiencias e interacción con la cultura local tanto dentro del hostel como fuera de él. Volveré ♥️ Gracias a todo el staff. 🫂✨ Me llevo varias personas en mi corazón, voluntarixs staff huéspedes 💜 Gracias Familia el hostel 🇦🇹

Attracting new hosts to the community
Mi viaje es mi nueva vida, voy descubriendo paso a paso nuevas experiencias, lugares, personas con nuevas culturas, y mi voluntad es compartir vivencias, habilidades y todo lo que aprendido para hacer un ambiente mas agradable y armonioso.
My studies were in accounting. Over time I dedicated myself to alternative therapies such as foot reflexology, massage therapy, reiki, aromatherapy, harmonization and cleansing of energies from spaces and people. Advanced English. I learned Portuguese in Brazil, at an advanced level.
In my hometown I have always worked in administrative, accounting, financial, and customer service roles.
At the end of 2016 I arrived in Brazil, straight to Florianópolis, then I went to Rio de Janeiro; I stayed in Copacabana for 3 months, discovering fantastic places. Continuing my journey I jumped to Salvador de Bahia, where I had my first volunteer experience at a hostel, and after several long months I decided to stay and became a registered employee. I lived there for 1 year and 4 months. It was very intense and renewing to choose to live all that time surrounded by root culture, beautiful traditional customs, magical landscapes; I realized that Salvador chose me to stay, just as I did, marking a before and after in my journey. I took a break in August 2018 to visit family, then resume the path. Thus, in October of the same year, I returned to Brazil to the state of Pernambuco, Recife, to stay one month in a Hostel-Bar. A different and very renewing experience, a city but with nearby paradises to relax. I continued to the next destination, Paraíba, João Pessoa. I arrived at midnight but already felt that place would be incredible; it was a month closer to nature, the hostel had a magical courtyard and we were 10 steps from the beach. After completing the month I embraced that beautiful experience and continued to Pipa, Rio Grande do Norte. Carioca Hostel awaited me on a Friday night to start the weekend in a paradisiacal place with a very loving atmosphere; those were the best months I spent, even in peak season the reception work was very calm and dynamic. Always meeting people from all over and making friendships for life. I arranged myself in such a way that I decided to stay a while there and, on my own, focus on personal growth; that led me to spend the pandemic era in the same place, every moment was for personal, human and professional growth. After 2 years, I am back on my path in search of new landscapes and places to share my experiences. Within Brazil, I returned to Bahia but to the city of Lençóis, in Chapada Diamantina National Park, one of the largest parks in the country. After my volunteer time at a lodge in the middle of the jungle, I took a direct bus to another state, Goiás, where Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park is located. After several volunteering experiences in tents, or small houses in the mountains, falling in love with the place, I decided to visit the country’s capital, Brasília. There is only one volunteering option in the city, a very well located hostel, in which I later had the opportunity to work in a registered capacity. I spent a few months there, until I decided to get to know a little more the south of Brazil. I could see a bit of Serra Gaúcha in Porto Alegre and then decided to visit family for a few months and resolve personal matters. I resumed the journey in Praia do Rosa, in Santa Catarina; from my city to there I had a direct bus. I set out to work the season in that place and do volunteering at the same time to save money and keep traveling. Those months things turned out differently from how I had thought; I reprogrammed a bit what I would do next. Facing challenges I never imagined, I confirm once again that everything is as it has to be at the exact moment and place. Leaving Brazil by bus, I passed through Paraguay, Asunción for about 5 days where I met people from several countries and today is exactly 5 days since I’ve been traveling through Bolivia, entering Santa Cruz de la Sierra, passing through La Paz and now in Copacabana. Sketching an economical and beautiful route to the next destinations.
