Ideal para quien busca tranquilidad y disfruta la soledad para meditar o trabajar proyectos propios. La mayoría del tiempo estuve por mi cuenta. Esta experiencia fue similar a un retiro: el alojamiento es pequeño, sólo hay un bar-cafetería, no hay transporte periódico, ni tiendas de ningún tipo (importante preveer alimentación); sin embargo, es parte del encanto cuando uno está consciente de ello. La única actividad que hice fue la de senderismo hasta la ermita. Las expectativas del trabajo son un tema que hablé con Daniel, un muy buen anfitrión.

Por un asunto personal que salió de mi control no pude terminar mi voluntariado como me hubiera gustado, pero la experiencia en general fue muy buena, siempre recordaré con cariño esta experiencia y a todos mis compañeros. El hostel en general es una excelente opción para hacer voluntariado si se quiere pasar tiempo en Córdoba. Estoy muy agradecido por la experiencia, y por toda la paciencia que me tuvieron cuando cometí mis errores. Le deseo todo lo mejor al hostel y que muchos más puedan vivir esto y más.

About me as an author

Living in Tenerife, Spain, and exploring the country for a few months while working remotely as a technical project developer/manager and studying data science. Professionally, I have experience in Digital Media and tech-related endeavours, contributing to the development of social, environmental, and community-based projects in different parts of the world. I've volunteered in a diverse range of projects, learning and practicing many skills acquired in my career and non-professional roles. On the creative side, I enjoy playing instruments and writing songs, poems, and short stories. I look forward to doing more of that. I grew up bilingual with Spanish and English, and I've taken French and German courses, eager to practice and learn more languages. My purpose in life is to further develop my capacity for being of service, giving back, making amends, cultivating virtue, and infusing love into my actions.
