Cleaning, Kitchen Hand, and Reception
If Leticia sends you an application to volunteer at your place, count your lucky stars and accept without thinking. I do not even know where to start describing what a wonderful experience we had with her. She is, foremost, an amazing human being and such a joy to be around. As our volunteer, she has only surpasted every expectation we ever had. She is very skilled in a wide range of things and even after 2 months she kept surprising us. Very proactive, responsible, someone you can really count on. Great cook, great mixologist, great host. She can run this place! Hope to have her back!
I had an amazing time at the coliving! The community vibe makes you feel like living in a big, diverse and very fun family. Joe and Jelena are great hosts, they run the place with exemplary organisation, love and care. They were always open to suggestions to make the work better. And the work itself is quite light and enjoyable, leaving you plenty of time to explore the area or work on your projects. The place is at an incredible spot, with stunning views of the snowy mountains and surrounded by history of the old town. It's really unique! can't recommend the coliving enough!
Party Promoter, Cleaning, Housekeeping, and Reception
Letícia has been an amazing volunteer all the way through, and we all wished she stayed longer/forever. She is amazing company, an absolute killer at making beds, and a very responsible worker. She always came with new idea for our place and was very active during all her shifts. We already miss you Letícia, and look forward to your return.
Being at the hostel felt like being on a holiday with family and friends. Kate and Aris had just taken over the management of the hostel and I could experience a new life coming into the place day by day. They put so much love and passion into this project and it's contagious. We were all motivated to be part of the team, feeling encouraged to contribute with ideas to make the hostel better for everyone. I felt welcomed by the other volunteers from day one, had lots of fun and it was hard to say goodbye! Work is light and the hostel is a charming city surrounded by nature. A perfect balance:)
Kitchen Hand, Housekeeping, Reception, and Gardening
Letícia has been a really nice volunteer. Always proactive, with a quite good previous hostels experience, she has proposed several improvement for the hostel. I strongly recommend her for any volunteer position.
My experience at the guest house couldn't have been better! Ruben is a sweet and thoughtful host, always making sure that the volunteers are comfortable and having a good time. He's also super flexible about the work hours and routines. The work is light and enjoyable. Volunteers get a private room with a super cute balcony. Super comfortable. The hostal is located at the heart of the historic centre, so you'll be at an amazing location too! I totally recommend the experience with the guest house! 😊

I'm fascinated by exploring the unknown and being in contact with diverse and open-minded people. Getting to know new cultures and places, and making connections with people that I could never meet if I was home has been a way of expanding my mind. It impacted the way I think and understand other people, myself, and the world itself. I've been on a nomadic journey since 2016. A journey that made me shift my perception of what I want for my future. My daily exercise has been trusting the natural flow of things (even though it's challenging sometimes!). And most importantly, having a good time with the people around me 😊 I am vegan 🌿 and love to cook! Yoga and meditation are two things that help me keep my mind at peace (most of the time haha) 🧘🏽♀️🙂 I am a beach person 🏖️ but I also love hikes in the mountains and camping ⛰️🏕️. I am a city person too: love hanging out at bars, street concerts, museums, parks, etc. 🏙️🎶🎷 I would say I'm a little bit of a lot of things, why not? 😊
