The Experience

Hi, how are you? We're Mari and Jin, the hosts of the Hostel, and we could use a little helping hand with organizing our space! If you are organized, wake up early, are proactive, and can perform, in a healthy way, tasks that require cleaning and organization, you’ve found the right spot. We have a single opening in our mixed shared dorm.

Jim and Mary were incredibly amazing; it had been a while since I felt so at home, volunteering was super light, tasks were very easy, they make you feel completely at ease, they are very helpful and supportive, super interactive and, within their possibilities, very flexible, a true volunteering proposal where there is no overload of responsibilities not shared. Gratitude, my road family, I hope this friendship blossoms even more.

O hostel é muito bonito e recebe pessoas de todo o mundo, fica bem próximo a praia de Maracaípe. Tive uma boa experiência até metade da terceira semana de um mês, infelizmente, após esse período, minha experiência se tornou ruim, a flexibilidade foi aceita em um momento e depois não foi mais, tive problemas de saúde e isso foi usado contra mim, achei que havia virado amiga dos hosts mas percebi que a amizade era apenas do meu lado. As tarefas em si são tranquilas, mas você acaba sendo totalmente responsável por elas e é criticado caso não consiga cumprir todas, independente das circunstâncias.

Nicole, in a volunteer setting you have to do what you volunteered to do. Whoever is sick won't go to other places to have fun, as you did on your trip to Olinda, and we were, in fact, very accommodating about that. Another issue is that you spent HOURS trying to fix a bed, so those who had the bad experience, in the end it was us. We don't need to be friends or even cordial with volunteers. Volunteers need to do what the position requires.
