Maxi es un gran afitrión, amistoso y predispuesto a ayudarte en lo que necesites. Me he sentido como en casa desde el primer momento ! las tareas en el hostel son muy sensillas como limpiar la pisina o atender a los huespedes y los horarios flexibles. el hostel se encuentra a pocos metros de uno de los mejores estadios mundiales del surf por lo que es ideal para los surfistas que quieras poner a prueba su nivel de surfing (nivel intermedio avanzado ) conoceras grandes atletas en este lugar. realmente ha sido una primer experiencia de voluntariado muy nutritiva.

Camila estuvo muy bien, siempre dispuesta a ayudarnos en lo que necesitabamos, muy atenta con los huespedes y los hacia sentir como en su casa. Una persona que se adapta a las tareas y situaciones sin problema ademas de ser muy simpatica y divertida. Te deseamos un feliz viaje y voluntariados en el resto de tu viaje!
