Wooooow, I had a lot of fun here for sure!!!! I made a lot of friends, the hostel was an incredible experience in Cascais, the neighborhood is fantastic, close to the train station, so you can easily go to Cascais or Lisbon, there are supermarkets close by to buy some food or drinks if you prefer! Besides the energy there is nice!!! Cozy place to volunteer, also the work is not hard! Thank you all for making it a different experience. See you family 💙 with love Pi

José no início se mostrou uma pessoa com vontade e bem disposto. Infelizmente as coisas começaram a descambar quando o seu comportamento começou a ser o menos adequado, ao não cumprir com as tarefas e a não cumprir horários. Chamámos a sua atenção quando a experiência não estava a ser a esperada, dando uma segunda oportunidade. Pois José não honrou essa oportunidade, tendo tido um comportamento inaceitável envolvendo outros voluntários, hóspedes e a gerente do hostel. Uma situação desagradável e um comportamento com a qual não compactuamos. A experiência do José terminou mais cedo.

I live in Portugal, I love to travel, whenever possible I take a backpack and go.
I like exchanges, for me traveling is more than just photos, they are experiences.
