The experience

We just started a hostel project in Guatemala City and we're looking for an extra hand with crazy ideas who wants to contribute to the project. We have experience as backpackers in more than 35 countries, so this is not just a business, but a traveler-friendly home. We want to be a space where this community can come together and rest.

Program Details

The hostel has only been operating for a few months and we're looking for someone with crazy ideas to be part of the team. Here at the hostel, naturally there is a lot of cultural exchange; we learn and grow together.
Currently I am looking for an extra pair of hands to help me at the reception, cleaning the common areas or general maintenance, someone with the ability for customer service.

I offer a free bed.
We enjoy sharing dinners on the terrace, spontaneous trips to Antigua and impromptu plans to visit some places in the city!
We have had volunteers from all over and of all kinds, really delighted with everyone! It's hard to put into words what life at the hostel is like, the community that we are, the friendship we form and above all the support we give each other.


Activities & Shift

Honestly this volunteer program is the easiest and most practical; I ask for help with the typical housekeeping tasks of a hostel. The hostel is super small, so it won't be difficult.
And I am also interested in someone with great charisma for check-in.
We are quite flexible with schedules, days, etc. What we also want is that you feel at home, not working, but at home with friends :)


Rules

1. I must say that I have a little dog named Luna who always accompanies me; if you don't like animals or have allergies, please consider that. Luna is an important part of this team. And now we have a kitten in the hostel, as cute as can be!
2. We reserve the right of admission and stay if you have problems with alcohol or drugs.
