The Experience

We are a charming hostel located in Vila Madalena, a trendy neighborhood in the West Zone of São Paulo. The volunteer position basically consists of taking care of the reception; in addition, the volunteer will be responsible during their shift for keeping the bathrooms clean (taking out the trash, restocking toilet paper), counting what arrives and what goes to the laundry, and preparing breakfast.

This place offers exactly what it claims: a warm space to meet people from around the world and build genuine connections. Even during my final 'bad‑luck days' 😂, the team always tries to make you feel supported. I'm pleased to have met such good people here, including Leticia, Anderson, Bonnie, Luma, Fran, and many others who made the experience worthwhile ✨. A big hug to Ivson thanks for the opportunity, compadre 🤝

My first stay at the hostel was so good that I decided to give it another go: doesn't this speak for itself? I had a wonderful total of two and half months there, surrounded by people that have become friends and I know I'll bring forever in my heart. Leticia (manager) and Ivson (owner) are really nice human beings and they did everything they could to make my experience as smooth as possible. Obrigada, the hostel! Voltarei sempre.

My time at the hostel became one of the best (of many) volunteering experiences I've had right from the start. I got along well with the rest of the volunteering and staff and felt at home from day 1. The tasks include: reception, general care of the house, making beds and some light cleaning of the spaces one day a week. Schedules were always respected and both Ivson and Leticia showed a lot of flexibility. The first month went so well that after that, we decide to extend for another one. Highly recommended!
