Estuve hace 4 años voluntariando en el mismo lugar y todo sigue genial. El nuevo manager es muy buena onda, así como el dueño y el resto del staff. El acuerdo siempre se respeta, el lugar está buenísimo y es perfecto para aprender/mejorar Inglés. Uno de los mejores lugares para voluntariar, voy a quedarme más tiempo.

Mi experiencia en este lugar ha sido buena. Sleiter es un excelente anfitrión que también ha viajado y voluntariado mucho, entonces tiene mucha empatía y es flexible con los horarios y días del voluntariado. En este lugar pude practicar mucho mi inglés, asi que si quieren tener una gran experiencia, pueden venir a este lugar a disfrutar su tiempo en Montañita!

Desde el primer día que llegué, me trataron super bien, el staff es genial, sobre todo el anfitrión Amitai. Las condiciones del voluntariado se cumplen y el anfitrión es muy flexible, si necesitas algún día en especial podés pedirlo. En este hostel viví momentos únicos, los huéspedes y voluntarios que me encontré fueron muy buena onda. Si estás pensando en ir a Playa del Carmen, te recomiendo este lugar sin dudas!

About me as an author

I'm from General Juan Madariaga, Argentina. Back in 2019, I travelled around South America for 9 months, doing volunteer work and picking up jobs along the way. Then, in 2022, I spent 6 months in Mexico and another year and a half in Ecuador, doing the same think, but working online as well. Now, in November, I’m heading to Brazil for a couple of weeks, and on 9th December, I’ve got a flight to Norway. From there, I’m starting a journey through different countries that’ll take me at least 4 years, aiming to make my way all the way down to Australia.

Background

Education

After finishing school, I gave business administration a shot at university but quickly realised it wasn’t for me. So, I started travelling, and that’s where I really found my path. I learned so much through my travels and volunteer experiences and from the amazing people I’ve met along the way!

Now, working in business development, I’m picking up new skills by reading and learning from the brilliant people I work with.

Work experience

• Receptionist in hostels.

• Bartender in restaurant bars, beach bars, hostels, and at events.

• Rugby coach at a club.

• Promoted party events (in hostels) and sports events (at the national rugby sevens in Argentina).

• Worked as a travel blogger.

• Hostel manager.

• Worked for two years at Worldpackers in the communication and marketing team, managing the Instagram and TikTok accounts.

• Currently still working at Worldpackers, now in the Business Development team.

Travel experience

I lived in the northern region of Argentina for two years in Tucumán. I had never left the country until March 2019. First, I spent a few days in Chile, then six months in Colombia, three months in Ecuador, and a few days in Peru.

I returned to Argentina to work for a few months before setting off again to explore more of South America, visiting new places I hadn’t yet seen and returning to some of my favourites, but the pandemic put those plans on hold.

In June 2022, I started a new journey through Mexico and Ecuador. I spent two years outside Argentina, and I came back on the 6th of June to spend time with family and friends and to save up for my next trip.

My next stop is Europe! I’m heading to Norway, Germany, Denmark, and other countries.
