Thanks to the team, Natha, Andrés, and Yefer, they always treated me like I was at home, an excellent experience. The tasks were clear, and they were always very flexible and understanding. The other volunteers were super nice, Ivan and Franco, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Upon arriving at Nómada Hostel, I met a very diverse group of people, each with different ideas, personalities, and ways of working, but they ended up complementing each other very well. We managed to connect, work together, and achieve our goals.

I leave this experience with great affection for the group, new learnings, and the satisfaction of having been able to share part of my knowledge and contribute from my experience.

Undoubtedly, I carry fond memories and the affection of the people who made my time at Nómada special.

I want to express to you my most sincere gratitude for this opportunity. It was an honor and a privilege to collaborate with you. Time flew by, but every moment was worth it: the organization, the good energy, the respect and the affection with which everything is done, make one feel like a real part of the group from the first minute. I carry with me lessons, friendships and an immense sense of satisfaction from having been able to contribute my own small part. God bless this beautiful work and every person who makes it possible! I hope to see you soon and continue supporting. A big hug to all the the hostel🌟🤝💐
