The Experience

Hello! 😍 We need you to contribute with whatever is most needed at the moment while you're here. Whether it's cleaning, decorating, taking care of our garden, or guest check-ins (since we still don't have a 24-hour reception yet)... We’re looking for people who are proactive and have a sense of community. If you identify with this, it would be great to welcome you.

Amazing place, Gabrielle is very very kind and friendly, always including everyone in every activity. The hostel feels like it has a family, and that we (the volunteers) are part of it.

The tasks are easy to do, and I even think she should ask a bit more in exchange for all the awesome things she offers.

Gabi is a wonderful host, and the home is a nice cozy hostel a short walk from the center of São João. Everyone I met was so kind and welcoming. I definitely recommend this volunteering experience for someone seeking a relaxed stay in the heart of Minas Gerais.

Hi everyone, I'm Bianca and I'm 21 years old. It was my first time in Brazil and my first time with world packers. I don't know the language and I was completely alone for the trip, but Gabi took care of me all the time, she answered all my questions and was very kind. When I was in the hostel everyone helped me adapt and understand things. I practiced my English and started learning some Portuguese too. I tried many typical dishes and visited the city which is safe (more than big cities) The place is beautiful and peaceful, and it gives you a lot of “the home”!

Endless gratitude for this experience with host Gabi and Laís! The hostel staff are super welcoming, warm, and charismatic. I joined the team from day one and felt at home. The hostel is organized, clean, and the activities are well planned to ensure a balance of duties among everyone. The schedules, shifts, and activities are respected, including days off. Everything is arranged in advance. The place is full of good vibes and I hardly saw the days pass. I did many outings with Gabi and Laís. I had some medical issues and Gabi didn't spare any effort to help me!! I recommend ❤️

It was a great pleasure meeting Gaby and her baby Marley and Kaia was a volunteer and I will carry for life—friendship, new exchanges of knowledge. What to say—the house bueina a casa and a big family
I will miss it on my new journey; I loved meeting Laís, Cláudia, Nara, Gaby, Vinícius; they made my stay so light ❤️😘
