Going back to a place is not repeating the path, it's reconnecting with the memories we left there...

It's always a pleasant experience :)

Beautiful place, close to everything. I made good friends here and a sweetheart, Paaao, to explain everything to us. Highly recommended as a first experience; the shifts are easy and the work is the same. Everything is super organized and easy to understand. I hope to return soon 💕

This is the first time you volunteered and it was an amazing experience, since you felt at home; the place is very welcoming, the other volunteers were very kind, respectful, and responsible. Honestly, it was an incredible experience and I would definitely volunteer again at the hostel.
