I had a great time doing social media for the host. Anita and Greg were both really amazing, kind, open, helpful people and hosts. Although I was the only volunteer probably due to low season, they made my stay really enjoyable. My hours were always respected and flexible, the food Anita cooked was incredibly tasty, and I overall had a very relaxing, fun stay. I felt that I got to know the bar, workers, guests and city well. The only thing that could be better is more direction and wishes in terms of what content and results they would have liked from me – I was left a completely free hand.

I had the best time at the host! Every single member of the staff was so friendly, kind, and welcoming. I also got to meet the owner, Jacob, who is a gem of a person! The work is light and super fun, and you have plenty of free time to explore the surrounding area. Where you stay is pretty rustic, some critters may visit you at night so just be prepared for that. I will be back to visit! Thank you sweet friends!

I didn't know what to expect going into this, and I think that is the best way to approach a lot of things. A very cool experience and privilege being able to trial life in Sámara. It was my first time playing music for people and I can't think of any better way to crack that shell. Very tiny living space, but another reason to get outside and enjoy the life this place has to offer! This experience is a perfect opportunity to slow down. Take a big breath and have a beer!

Playing music and working at the bar is such a cool, unique experience! You’re right on the beach and have plenty of time off so you can spend a lot of time there. I will say that the accommodations are not clean and there are a lot of bugs and cockroaches. Just something to keep in mind if you don’t love insects!

A really cool opportunity to play music in a beautiful, vibrant beach town. If cleanliness isn't something you're bothered about then this is the place for you!
