the workers and volunteers here are so sweet which truely makes the experience so amazing. they will never ask for extra work from you, they always make sure it’s a fair exchange. there’s activities everyday so that makes it fun when you’re there long term. the onlyyy thing is there isn’t too much to do in oaxaca, but you can take weekend trips to mazunte, puerto escondido, san jose del pacífico or other cities so you get multiple trips in one. definitely recommend🫶

Volunteering in Ticuchi felt like home. Everyone was welcoming, friendly, and kind-hearted. My work at the reception was easy, and I also got the chance to meet international travelers. I enjoyed practicing Spanish and immersing myself in the local culture. I will never forget this volunteering journey at Ticuchi.✨🥰

I'm leaving the hostel with a heart full of gratitude. What made this experience truly special was the people. From the very beginning, I felt welcomed like part of a real family — sharing moments, laughter, and a connection that is hard to put into words. It's a place where you don't just visit, you belong. I will always carry this feeling with me 🧡

My time at the hostel in Oaxaca was truly unforgettable and I couldn't recommend it more! The hostel itself has everything you could possibly need, including a fantastic swimming pool. The work is very simple and stress-free, and the boss is one of the kindest, most helpful people I've met. The location is right in the center and close to everything. What really made the experience special, though, were the people… I met so many wonderful souls during my stay. If you're looking for a great community and a beautiful place to stay in Mexico, this is it!
