Sooo much love for the organization! It feels like a family from the moment you walk in. The people here are amazing and there is a real sense of community. Most people come here to climb, so be aware of nerdy climber talk ;) But there are also so many other things you can do, which is made so much easier by the fact that there is a volunteer car. The volunteer team is big, so you are always sharing responsibility. The tasks are simple, it's mostly cooking and a bit of cleaning. I loved that you often work with other volunteers as well! Davide is a great host and very clear! Will miss this place🥹❤️

As everyone is writing: if you do like the organization you will have a great time there 🧗 there are a lot of people so even if it's sometimes not that easy to organize beforehand in the end you will always find someone to go climb with and once you've settled in it's getting even easier. The work shifts are on a shedule and were as told (only in the first week one day more for training.. that would be nice to know as well beforehand). If you don't have a car it's always a little tricky to go somewhere else than the three the organization crags that are in walking distance. Had a lovely time there! ☺️

You must be flexible and open to the possibility of changing situations (e.g.: place to sleep, changes of work shifts, etc.), but also be motivated to seize every opportunity to make the best use of your free time and challenge yourself with new activities!

Had one of the best times in my 5 months of travel so far. David's is very understand but a little picky about what we cook. I can't blame him because he supplied the food. I was there during an off the organization season and was worried about the lack of people but I met so many amazing people and friends for life as well as improved my the organization skills. We all shared the expense of the car and traveled all over the island.

It was my first volunteering experience and it was great. I met travelers from all over the world. People who come to this place are very open-minded and generally stay for a while, it's not like most hostels where people only stay for a few days. This place also allowed me to discover the organization if you like the organization you love this place. In terms of work, everything is respected you do the housework, the cooking if you have skills you can also do DIY or gardening. We are very well fed. I will surely come back one day. Thank you for creating this place and for your good humor David. Eléna
