Voluntariar en el hostel fue una de mis mejores experiências de voluntariado! Adela, Dave y toda la gente fue muy amable y siempre mi respectaram mucho. Las instalaciones del hostel son muy buenas, con cocina, buenas duchas y la ubicacion es perfecta. los horarios y dias libres son respectados y ademas es posible disfrutar de la ciudad en tus dias libres y en el shift donde lleva los huespedes a hacer tour. Recomendo el hostel a todos!

Minha experiência no hostel foi incrível. Alex e Oscar são anfitriões muito bons. Ao chegar, Alex me explicou as tarefas detalhamente, sem deixar dúvidas. Os horários foram respeitados e as tarefas são leves. Além disso pude treinar inglês e espanhol o tempo todo. no hostel você se sente em casa! Super recomendo

The hostel is very good, good location close to market, bars and public transport and has great facilities. The hostel has a lot of rooms so there's plenty to do during shift. And everything you need there is in the hostel, a large kitchen, TV room, reading and place to work online, if you need it. I have always been well treated and respected here. Is a good place in San Diego.

About me as an author

Idas e Milhas

Nômade desde 2019 e autora do blog Idas e Milhas, larguei o mundo corporativo para viver uma vida com mais propósito. Hoje escrevo para incentivar mais pessoas a viajarem e para alimentar minha curiosidade por novas culturas e pelo mundo!

Background

Education

I hold a degree in Human Resources Management, I have an MBA in Project Management, and several courses in the area of projects and people management.

Work experience

I worked for twelve years in a multinational IT company, where I spent most of that time in project management. Before this last job, I worked at two other companies, in the administrative/financial area, and I am currently working as a freelancer in the tourism sector.

Travel experience

I've visited 38 countries so far and have already explored a good part of Brazil. I'm passionate about everything related to travel and about discovering distinct places, especially when I go off the traditional tourist route. Additionally, I write on the blog idasemilhas.wordpress and I maintain the travel Instagram account @idasemilhas.
