Raquel was an excellent member of the team, proactive, friendly and helpful. Easy to communicate with and flexible. She gave to the hostel the right energy we look for and we will be happy to see her back in the future.

Mi experiencia en el hostel fue inolvidable. Empecé con los turnos de la noche y después ayudé con las camas y actividades. Aprendí un montón en cada turno, conocí gente amable de todas las partes del mundo y hice amigos para toda la vida. El hostel está ubicado en la parte más central de Barcelona y además de la acomodación, los voluntários también tienen desayuno y ingredientes para cocinar. Muchas veces comemos juntos. Vivir en el hostel es vivir en familia y recomiendo muchísimo aprovechar esta oportunidad.

Reestruturar a comunicação do projeto a organização com o Thiago foi uma experiência transformadora. Neste belo espaço revolucionário em Maresias acontecem diferentes atividades como oficinas de inclusão digital, ensino de idiomas, biblioteca e horta comunitária, confecção de pranchas de surfe a partir de garrafas pet e muita cultura de rua na galeria de arte. Durante o voluntariado, conseguimos visitar uma das mais belas praias do litoral norte, a Calhetas, e também conhecer a cultura e a comunidade local do Morrinho. Recomendo essa experiência para todes! Gratidão total

Fazer parte do Ilhabela Beach Cleanup com o hostel foi uma experiência incrível. Além de todo o aprendizado sobre sustentabilidade e ações de impacto ambiental, pude passar mais uns dias na Ilha, completando minha experiencia na belíssima praia do Bonete.
