Staying at California Dreams Hostel has been an unforgettable experience! The friends and insights I've made here have been a tremendous blessing and have helped me grow in so many ways. Getting to work as a team to foster a welcoming, safe and clean hostel has been a goal of mine ever since staying at my first one years ago. I'm so glad I chose to start my worldpackers adventures at this one. With it's epic location one block from the beach and good vibes, California Dreams is the real gem on Emerald street.

The past 5 months at California Dreams Hostel has been nothing short of incredible! The work is relatively easy, just 7hrs of front desk reception, with 3 days off a week. Management is always reliable and willing to work with our schedules. All the guests and volunteers are absolutely amazing! I’ve made so many life long friendships here and the surrounding area is perfect for activities + hangouts. This place has been life changing to my growth as a person and I couldn’t recommend it more!
