This is Luiz's second time staying with us this season. He is undoubtedly already part of our family, and we always want him here. He was responsible for the hostel's activities, outings, dinners, and games. I create unique moments with the guests, he was responsible for the media, produced a lot of content, and always helped ensure that people left a good review. In our time together, he always gave his best. Without a doubt, I would recommend Luiz to everyone, and we already want him to return. Thank you for everything, and we will miss him a lot. Max and Ricardo.
My second experience at Chamos was that I stayed for more than 3 months, I formed strong connections with guests, volunteers and the hosts, and I carry good memories.

It was a wonderful partnership! Luiz is someone you can count on, flexible with schedules and always willing to help. It was a very positive experience that we recommend to everyone! He helped us through weeks of great pressure; he stayed alone at the reception for a few days with a high volume of check-ins and check-outs, and he did very well! In addition to communicating perfectly with foreigners, which for us was a very positive point! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Luiz, thank you very much!! We wish your journey to be as incredible as you are! ✨
It was an immersion in nature, living among the mountains, an extraordinary place, with waterfalls, trails and beautiful landscapes. But people also left a strong impression; I was very well received, with a lot of respect and affection from everyone, a fair and very good exchange. Plentiful and tasty meals, a schedule that was respected, and a cozy room. The tasks are varied and provide a good learning of new skills; I really enjoyed learning more in the kitchen and felt free to create and share ideas. I highly recommend this experience to future travelers, enjoy this paradise. Thanks a lot for the opportunity. ❤

Luiz is an amazing person; we volunteered together in Arraial — I in reception and he in media — and we had several incredible hangouts together. He is a very warm and charismatic person, besides being super polite to everyone♥️ I loved meeting him and I hope to meet him again somewhere along life's journey♥️

I volunteered with Luiz at DS hostel and we were part of the first team, and we got along really well from the start. He, besides being helpful, is proactive, knows how to cook like no one else, and has a gift for photography—the best photos I have were taken and directed by him. The entire audiovisual content for the hostel was also amazing. Moreover, he’s a great influencer who stands out in the itinerary, turning the simple into impeccable. A friend for life that I carry with me and that you can always count on whenever you need <3

Olá, sou Luiz Macêdo, tenho 32 anos e era pra ser só mais um que sonha em viajar o mundo, porém decidi compartilhar meus aprendizados e conhecimentos vividos nessa jornada. Já fiz um mochilão pelo Brasil e Uruguai que durou 11 meses onde fiz 7 voluntariados e vivi grandes experiências. Esse mundo é grande demais pra criarmos raízes. Fiz uma Trip de bike que durou 1ano e 8 meses, atravessando o Brasil, do RS ao Ceará. Já fiz mais 15 voluntariados, alguns por fora da plataforma. Depois fiz um mochilão pela Europa. Busco novas experiências, amizades, me conectar com novas pessoas e vivências. No que precisar de ajuda pode contar comigo, só me enviar uma mensagem. Atualmente estou viajando o Brasil de carona.
