HBB has been my favorite volunteer experience so far. The space Andressa created is warm, inclusive, and women- and queer-friendly. The volunteer team was kind and supportive, creating a lovely atmosphere. I mainly worked behind the bar and learned to make caipirinhas, which was a highlight. Located in Pinheiros near Batman Alley, the bar attracts many locals, giving me meaningful connections. I highly recommend it to travelers seeking a deeper, more local experience of São Paulo.

I spent 2 fun weeks in HBB bartending, the host is very flexible & understanding which was very comfortable. I made friends with the other volunteers & felt very welcomed even though there sometimes was a language barrier. We understood each other & made it work! Thank you HBB dream team 🫶🏻

Thanks, Jay. We're happy to have you back with us, and we hope to come back to our little home many more times. I really want to see you speak fluent Portuguese one day, and to have many fun conversations together, since speaking with you in English is already very enjoyable.

I had good volunteering experience at HBB Hostel. My role at the front bar was enjoyable, with clear tasks and perfect working hours. Mostly i enjoyed doing caipirihas! Andressa, the hostel manager, was flexible and supportive throughout my stay. The neighborhood is vibrant, with plenty of bars and attractions, and I always felt safe. Overall, I recommend HBB Hostel for anyone looking to volunteer and immerse themselves in the local scene of Sao Paulo!

Ountch. Thank you very much, Peter. It was a pleasure to welcome you here, as you demonstrated you were highly capable of carrying out the volunteer work, even in the face of language difficulties. You surprised us and left us feeling quite calm and confident that the bar was under your command. We hope for more people like you around here!
