I came in as a volunteer but now I'm a part of this hostel's crew. The place changed me a lot. The adventures, the treks, the forest, the location, the people made me not to leave this place. So, I want to be a part of this amazing experience and journey towards openness and be close to nature where you put your thoughts to freedom. We can't express some emotions cause it's way beyond my expectations.

Joshua, your words genuinely mean a lot to us.

You came as a volunteer and became part of the Freedom House family. That is exactly the kind of connection we hope to create here — through shared work, adventures, conversations and time in nature.

Thank you for your openness, energy and the spirit you brought to the community. We’re grateful our paths crossed, and Freedom House will always be a place you can come back to.
