The Experience

A small family hostel, very well located in João Pessoa coast (100m to the beach). Our house is a joyful, comfy and beautiful place where you can meet people from around the world and share experiences <3 We are glad to host creative volunteers who are up to help us with reception and maybe other tasks. Note that we are engaged to support women on the road, travelling alone, by offering a safe place to stay long and selecting them in priority.

My experience at the hostel was very positive. I received training with Clau, and at first, I thought it was quite a lot of information, but I managed to adapt in a few days, after understanding the dynamics, I found it very organized and the hostel's logistics work very well. One of the things I liked most was precisely the organization and cleanliness of the space. The schedules are good and there is a certain flexibility, so it was possible to take full advantage of João Pessoa during my free time, I met many nice people during my stay. Overall, it was a very good experience.

At Slow Hostel I felt very comfortable from day one; the training and the tasks are quite easy, and the schedule is respected as well. I have two days off per week, a few breakfast items, and a small tub for washing clothes.

The the hostel is a very special place. Marina is an incredible, welcoming, intelligent host, full of experiences to share. Muximba, the heiress of the house, is a wonderful little cat that makes the atmosphere even more welcoming. Regarding the exchange, the schedules are respected, the work is smooth and the whole team welcomed me with a lot of affection. João Pessoa is perfect for those seeking rest without giving up culture and the city's vibrancy. It was a light experience, rich in exchanges, and I will treasure it with great affection.

I want to record my recommendation for traveler Éveny. She is attentive, committed, punctual, interacts well with guests, and carries out the assigned tasks with mastery. I was without access to the platform, but I cannot fail to thank and acknowledge the positive experience we had with Éveny.
