Gustavo was a very welcoming and understanding Host. The group of people in the hostelwas very friendly too, but unfortunately there was quite a big language barrier. If you want to improve your Portuguese, this is the place to be, but if you don't speak a single word or are a beginner, it can be quite tuff. I would recommend a longer stay, to really get in touch with er very one and to get to know the beauty of Ubatuba.

It's always great to be at TC Hostel. The place is really nice, it has a good energy and I feel very good here. Lupe is always amazing and is always willing to help with whatever is needed. I really like coming back and, for sure, whenever I can, I'll be here again.

I've been traveling around Brazil for two years, and this volunteer program was the best hostel of all, by far. The tasks are exactly as described, well organized and in line with the hostel's working hours. There is a good balance between the time spent volunteering at the hostel and free time, which allows you to enjoy Ubatuba and the hostel experience. But without a doubt the best part is the owner's human quality, always willing to help, respectful, kind and very attentive. His girlfriend, although we spent little time together, was also very warm and kind. I've formed great friendships with the other volunteers and a beautiful memory. I highly recommend it 100%.
