If you love nature and enjoy feeling truly integrated with it, you can’t miss the opportunity to live this experience in Paraty Mirim in Paraty.
You will find the ideal place to feel truly part of a great ecological paradise between the Atlantic Forest and the sea.
Remo Hostel is a large wooden house fully integrated with the forest. You feel as if you were on top of a big tree, truly welcomed and protected by nature, it’s like those images you only see in movies—the forest lets us glimpse in the background that beautiful band of blue sea inviting us to hike to the beach.
We are looking for PROACTIVE people who want to have this experience and work for the conservation of this place. Let’s keep everything organized and clean so everyone can live this experience with us?
Our activities are divided into 3 shifts, with 1 volunteer per shift and changes may occur.
Shift 1 - 9:00-13:10
Shift 2 - 13:20-17:30
Shift 3 - 17:40-21:50
Among the activities we have:
- Breakfast support;
- Wash bathrooms;
- Clean the kitchen;
- Clean the rooms and common areas of the hostel;
- Change and wash bedding and towels;
- Prepare rooms for new guests;
- Take out the trash;
- Interact with and guide guests in case of questions and requests;
- Keep the environments organized and the kitchen tidy (guide guests if they leave something unfinished - e.g., dishes washed and put away, things in their place);
We have Wi‑Fi, but the use of phones and computers is ALWAYS silenced and the use of headphones is MANDATORY.
We recommend coming with a backpack and a flashlight, since the house has several stairs and the entrance path is 200 meters uphill.
In the wooden-floor areas, we stay BAREFOOT to reduce noise and simplify cleaning.
Here we separate the trash as much as possible.
After 10 p.m. we opt for silence.
Notes
* All sofa blankets should be kept stretched and the cushions fluffed (not creased);
* Remember to always turn off lights when not in use (bathrooms, bedrooms and common areas)
* Apply liquid wax to the furniture on Mondays and Fridays / wipe the rooms on Wednesdays and Saturdays;
* Weekly meeting with the whole team and volunteers (requests for supplies and discussion about the progress of duties and tasks)
* Our breakfast is a courtesy for staff and volunteers; please have coffee after guests - 10:00. Items left after breakfast are not for consumption during the day; they are hostel supplies that should be stored and reused.
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 :)
