This experience was amazing. It was my first Worldpackers experience, and solo traveling, but it didn't feel like a solo trip because I had a community around me who felt like family. Michelle who manages the volunteers is a warm and welcoming person, and I love her so much. She has such a big heart, and truly cares about all of the volunteers/ staff. I came into this with basically no Spanish knowledge, and left with a good amount of basics. This is a great place to be if you like to have fun and party, and meet people from everywhere. I am so glad I chose the hostel, missing everyone a lot!

Going into my first volunteering experience in a country which I did not speak the language of was scary at first, until I walked into the doors of the hostel. I was immediately greeted with love from the other volunteers and managers at the hostel encouraging me to take part in activities and familiarize myself with the local culture, as well as the language. the hostel at first may have just been a hostel to volunteer at, but it did not take too long for it to turn into a home for me. Most importantly I'm thankful for the hostel allowing me to meet people I will be friends with for life.

Going to the hostel was one of the most fun things I've ever experienced. The environment was so welcoming, and everyone wanted their turn to meet you (even if you don't speak Spanish). I made so many new friends among staff, volunteers, and international guests. My duties were in the kitchen, which involved cleaning, prepping, serving, dishwashing, greeting guests, and ensuring the guests enjoyed their meals. The staff were very friendly and made work very fun. The scheduling was flexible and allowed myself and some friends to have the same days off for activities. I highly recommend going!

I had the best time in Paracas! The work was interesting and I always knew what I had to do. I learned a lot of Spanish and would recommend the volunteering to everyone who would like to practice Spanish! I met some of the best people ever and would definitely go back again. They are also very flexible, easy to talk to and they take you seriously.
