The Experience

Located in a small mountain village we are looking for volunteers that look to immerse themselves into the tranquil and unhurried life that Pellumbas has to offer. As no day is the same as the previous one and activities vary according to need you will need to be flexible and able to adapt to whatever the day may bring. You can expect to particpate in cleaning all around the house, gardening, cooking, arts/crafts and reception work.

My stay at the guest house was beautiful. Located in a peaceful mountain village, it's perfect for exploring the nearby river and caves. I visited during the low season, so it was super calm and the work was very easy, mostly keeping the spaces and rooms clean, and helping with check-ins and check-outs. I had plenty of free time to rest and enjoy nature. The Ilir and host family is incredibly lovely and always helpful. Special mention to the super cute kittens! I miss them already❤️

I had a great time volunteering at the guest house. I felt that the other volunteers and I got along well and made a good team. We all took a 5 hour shift thru out the day so no one felt over burdened. The sunsets over the mountains were amazing. The fresh baked home made bread and hummus the guest house mornings were addicting. Also the full moon and other partys around the bonfire were a lot of fun. One night Festine the owner brought his accordion to one and we had a jam with me accompanying on my ukulele. Other volunteers joined in on percussion or danced to the music.
