The Experience

Hello there, we are searching for volunteers who can help us (Ken and Adi) during the peak of the season to run this hostel in Sarajevo. As both of us have other jobs, and sometimes we are not able to be in the hostel the whole time, even tho we live in it, we are searching for people who can help us with check-in, cleaning, setting up the beds, etc.

Ken and Adi are absolutely phenomenal!! From the second I walked through the door, I immediately felt welcomed and at home. The whole team of volunteers were wonderful, and since Adi and Ken are locals, they had so many great recommendations for local spots and things to do. Whenever they're around, they always hang out with the rest of the volunteers, and if you need anything, literally anything, they're more than happy to help. One of the best volunteer experiences I've had so far. They genuinely make you feel like you're part of the fam!!

I had a great time at the hostel! Everyone is really friendly and welcoming, so you feel comfortable and at home very quickly. The tasks are easy to manage and the communication is very relaxed. You also have plenty of free time to explore the city and enjoy everything it has to offer.
