O hostel é super bem organizado, limpo e um atendimento de primeira. O hostel tem um grande salão onde é servido o café da manhã e torna a estrutura fantástica para conhecer todos. No segundo andar tem uma área bem próxima de uma sala de estar com alguns jogos, é um ótimo ambiente para relaxar. o funcionamento do local é o que acredito de um hostel, uma empresa mas, ainda assim, um local aconchegante. Recomendo!

Fiquei uma semana na pousada o sítio e a experiência foi super tranquila. O local é sim um pouco afastado, uns 20 minutos para chegar no centro da cidade e a internet não pega muito bem. Portanto, é a escolha para aqueles que querem desconectar um pouco e ficar em contato com a natureza. Durante o voluntariado fiz atividades simples como, plantar e regar árvores, limpar quartos, etc. Sobre o sítio em si, é uma alemã super animada e gentil. Tomamos café da manhã quasetodos os dias juntos e ela me ensinou umas palavrinhas em alemão. Super recomendo para todos que buscam um espaço tranquilo!

Cleaning, Housekeeping, and Reception

Review written by the host

Lucas brought with him experience from various volunteer programs, adding great ideas to the review of training materials and spreadsheets. We exchanged many ideas about marketing, team training, and social media. Good-humored, funny, polite and kind, he worked at the reception, creating a welcoming environment for everyone. Always attentive to needs, he was always ready to help in any role. An excellent listener and adviser, he was always present in the conversation circles and activities with guests and the team. We had a piracaia (fish barbecue on the beach) and he was the fire god

Alter do Chão foi sugestão de 3 amigos meus. o hostel: Indicação unânime de conhecidos, amigos e até mesmo outros anfitriões. Curioso e já com altas expectativas eu queria saber o que tornava o hostel tão especial. Atenção para spoiler! Como já esperava, o hostel tem o acolhimento, energia e experiência que todo viajante busca Pelos boatos que ouvi Marlene tem o que chamam de coração de ouro. Marlene é uma das pessoas mais sensíveis que conheci durante todos os voluntariados que já fiz Alter do Chão, o hostel e Marlene entregaram além que eu esperava!

Background

Education

I've always enjoyed studying and I love cultural exchange very much, especially learning and teaching about other fields.
I completed a technical course in mechatronics and graduated in Medical Physics at USP.

Work experience

I've been freelancing since 2013, in my first year of college. Among the activities I worked in were Digital Marketing, Programming, and Administration, and I spent 2 years teaching Programming and Robotics to children and adolescents.

Travel experience

The work routine and the pandemic made me question what I wanted from life. At 26 I hadn't yet started traveling the world as I wanted. So I decided to start, and I am now embarking on the longest trip I have ever taken.
