Hermosa experiencia viví haciendo este voluntariado, Adriana se encarga de que el lugar se sienta como tu casa, además me tocaron compañeros estupendos con los que pude mejorar mi inglés, es un lugar muy tranquilo y con mucha naturaleza

Adriana fue un anfitrión fantástico, me trataba como familia, me invitaba a salir con ella y sus amigos, me enseño muchas cosas sobre Costa Rica, comidas y tradiciones locales. Fue súper flexible con todo y me ayudó con muchísimas cosas, desde la mejor manera para moverse, sitios para visitar y muchos más. También me recomendó en otro hostal para trabajar así que visité también otro lugar. De verdad no podría caer en un lugar más bonito y me sentí como en casa. 5 estrellas súper merecidas!

El tiempo en Melinche ha sido toda una sorpresa! Fue mi primera vez de voluntaria fuera del país y agradezco tanto haver empezado aquí. Me recibieron genial y son tan acogedores que cuando se acaba no te quieres ir, aunque yo se que ya me los llevo para siempre. Adriana y Ricardo son un amor y hicimos muchos planes juntos y muchas aventuras! Además de que conoces la vida y a la gente local de allí. A nivel de voluntariado, ha sido un aprendizaje trabajar con Dylan, se tiene que ser constante para poder conseguir cambios y tener mucha paciencia, pero lo vale.

Una experiencia muy enriquecedora, Adriana me trato muy bien y me enseño muchas cosas sobre la región, fauna y flora del país además me presento sus amigos y me incluyo en muchos Planes locales con su familia, mi recomendación es no viajar con expectativas y dejarse sorprender…
