Luiza and Marcelo are both really dedicated to the work they do, and I'm so grateful to them for their energy and guidance, especially while I am still learning Portuguese. The high season in Ubatuba can be very intense, and their expectations were communicated clearly before I arrived. At times, this felt more like a normal work dynamic than what I expected from a volunteering experience, but I am so thankful for the time I had getting to know the rest of the volunteers, who have become like family 💛

During the month i spent in Ubatuba, i got to know a lot of beautiful beaches and i had unforgettable experiences. I thank Luiza and Marcelo for accepting me as part of the hostel staff.
The owners are really present in the hostel, they are hard workers and they put a lot of dedication on training you for the job. Working hours are used very efficiently, and the owners have high expectations for volunteers.
What i thank the most about the experience is the people i met. The owners gathered an amazing team of volunteers. We worked really well together and it felt like we were a family🥰🥰

This was my second stay at the hostel and I love every second of it. The vibe and the people are so nice that you never feel out of place or that you don't belong. Communication is very open and expectations are communicated to you very clearly. the hostel is the kind of place where you don't want to leave because you're scared of missing something. Thanks Luiza and Marcelo for always making me feel at home.

Marcelo and Luiza are incredible and I am so glad that my first Worldpackers experience was at the hostel! They made me feel very welcome and they go to extra effort to make sure that it is a safe and comfortable environment. They choose volunteers and guests very meticulously to ensure that the energy and vibe of the hostel is kept. I would encourage anybody who enjoys the beach and a chilled vibe to pass by the hostel. I will be back!

GG House was my first volunteering experience, and the time I spent there was amazing! Luiza and Marcelo are great hosts; they’re always willing to help and to answer all your questions. They’re incredible people who warmly welcome everyone who passes through there. The space is welcoming and pleasant, it makes you feel at home.
I am grateful for every moment, and I’ll carry those friends with me forever in my life! :)

My experience at GG was one of the most beautiful things I took away from the trip ❤️ Luiza and Marce were more than hosts to me; they welcomed me with a lot of affection and made me feel part of their project from the very first moment! Everything went as planned; the place is beautiful and very harmonious. I came for three weeks and ended up staying two months! Without a doubt I would recommend it! Thanks Marce and Lu for the love, warmth and energy ✨🫂

I had a really good experience volunteering at gg, I met wonderful volunteers and amazing guests! I spent 1 month in Ubatuba and it was a much better experience than I could have imagined. The work is often a bit heavy, it diverges somewhat from the volunteering energy. The tent also gets hot to sleep in, but when the beds are free we can sleep in them. There are some improvements to be made in terms of volunteering, but the space is very welcoming and comfortable for day-to-day life.

It was a great experience; the hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming to me. I had an amazing time during my stay at the hostel; I made many friends and was able to enjoy all the hostel's facilities. I experienced things that will stay with me forever; the hosts are very attentive and are always willing to teach you and help.

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
