I felt very good, very respected. Usually you have Monday and Tuesday /Tuesday and Wednesday /Thursday and Friday off. Which is great!!! Two consecutive days off are always reccomendable to go elsewhere (as I did one tap in Peniche one time and the other time in Lisbon)

My experience at Oceanporto was so nice, there I gave a hand in the breakfast and learned how to works to iron bed sheets, the shift's time always was respected and organized for Nazare, a dear lady responsible for volunteer's tasks. My bed was in a hut like a private room even in a shared room, I really appreciated it. Every single day I had opportunity to practice english and sometimes spanish, it's also was a good point to me. The hostel is in a good localization, in a lovely neighboor where there are so many parks, close to metro and beach. Definitely it's a great spot, I recomend :)

To do worldpackers in this place was a incredible experience. It was my second home, the people were friendly. I learned and changed experiences with the other volunteers. I liked so much and recommended this place for other people. Thank you so much!
