Chris and Bobo, thank you so much for everything. I learnt a lot with you both during the time I was volunteering there. I can't wait to be back! Long life and all the best for Hostel in Ramallah, what you are doing there is really impressive and amazing. See you!

The hostel is more than a hostel - it is a local initiative with the objective of increase tourism in Palestine and spread the word about what is happenning in West Bank. Volunteering with them was one of the best experiences I ever had. The staff is kind and helpful and instalations are nice and clean. They run an organic farm too, which is a way of resistance and protection of Palestine's land. Most of my time I worked with social media and photography, trying to increase the number of guests. I strongly reccomend the hostel and can't wait to be back there.
