Volunteering in Malta during the summer it was definetly the best decision I've made in my life! The hostel is located in the middle of everything and it is so easy to go out and explore the island, the tasks are easy and the hours are fair and flexible, which is perfect if you want to enjoy the day before or after work! I've made great friends with the other volunteers and I'm sure they will be in my life forever! This experience was the perfect summer get away and all that the new travelers need to know is to just come and enjoy the best that Malta has to offer!!

Laura was a pleasure to have around our hostel. She always ready to help with any kind of task without a positive attitude. Laura was very social, ready to include others, and a pleasure to be around. I would recommend her to future hosts!
