About the experience in: Vila do Bispo, Portugal
Austria
Pura Vida the guest house is a really relaxed place. The people there were really warm und nice. I was also able to do my open water and advanced open water course for a good price in exchange for my work there. I worked 4 days during the morning and 2 days in the afternoon. During the morning you clean the house, the dorms/the 2 studios. During the afternoon you do check-ins and creative work like painting walls/making boards for the diving center/gardening or anything else that you see that might be good for the place. The host appreciates initiative from you a lot.

My experience at Pura Vida was incredible. Everything happened exactly as we spoke about. Cristóvão (the owner) super friendly, with him you can chat and share experiences, an incredible person. Sofia (the manager) was fantastic. Always attentive to ensure you are comfortable and at ease in the hostel and outside of it. She is super friendly and loving. The tasks are easy and there is time to go to the beach or stroll around the surroundings. Sagres is beautiful and with a lot of peace. Pura Vida has been one of my best experiences. Also to add that it is the ideal place to improve your English and Portuguese.

I had an amazing time at the guest house. I've made friends for life. Learnt a lot and it was an incredible experience. The shifts were reasonable 5 hours a day with a lot of downtime. Sadly it was winter so I couldn't explore too much but I'll be visiting again. Host is great super friendly, and so is the house manager :)

I had my first experience as a volunteer and I liked it a lot, Pura Vida the guest house is an excellent place to meet and contribute in various ways to the traveler. Very well located in Sagres, near incredible beaches. I was very well received by Cristovão and the staff of the house, thus facilitating my arrival and stay during the days I stayed at the hostel.
