O anfitrião não cumpre com as informações da vaga de voluntário. Depois de 5 dias trabalhados, na vaga em WP teria direito a 2 dias livres, e em meu dia livre ele pediu para que eu continuasse trabalhando. A vaga também não corresponde ao que oferece em relação a aulas de yoga, trilhas, aulas de idiomas e dormitório (não tem cama e todos os dias dormi em um colchão de ar furado.

Unfortunately I had to ask Amanda to leave after five days due to her lack of interest in the project. She told me that she wasn’t interested in what I was teaching her and communication was extremely difficult due to her lack of Spanish and english. She was very reluctant to help. Having her here was actually counter productive.

I ask all volunteers to bring sleeping mats and sleeping bags as it is a camping experience , which Amanda did not. I did my best to make her comfortable and to enjoy the area.

Amanda demanded another day off after we just had a day of surfing and off road touring and local food the day before! The days we did work Amanda was not interested and mainly stood around. And we always did something fun before or after .

So if you are enthusiastic and open to learn new things and enjoy the area then this is for you. If you just want a free holiday like Amanda then please look elsewhere

Many thanks Chris
