Volunteer at a new hostel in Puerto Escondido.
Description
We are in the process of opening a new hostel in Puerto Escondido, Mexico. We are a couple in our late 20s/early 30s. Ross is from New Hampshire and Mallory is from San Francisco, California. We have both spent months backpacking all over Central and South America, and finally fell in love with Puerto Escondido. After spending a collective 12 months living in hostels all over the world, we believe that we can truly provide the perfect backpackers experience . The hostel is a 6min walk from the only swimming beach in PE (carrizalillo beach) and the beginner surf beach. We are also 2 min away from the Rinconada which has a bunch of popular restaurants, bars and cafes. You can walk to basically anything that you need and if you want to go to other neighborhoods in PE it's only 20 pesos ($1.50). We are very excited to open in November of 2013 but could use some help from artists and builders to give our hostel all of the character and details we desire!
Area
Oaxaca
Type of help.Art project,Helping with Tourists, Building Help
A new hostel means a blank canvas! We are primarily looking for artists who are interested in painting large murals around the hostel. We can share images of these 'blank canvases' but there is a lot of space to work with (the house is large, with high ceilings, and all white at the moment). There are also some unfinished areas of the hostel. Ross, the owner, is a Civil Engineer and builder but he could use some help finishing off some of the rooms and other projects around the hostel. We could also use some basic front desk help and night shift help as well.
Languages spoken
English & Spanish
Accommodation
All volunteers with stay in gender specific dorms.
What else ...
Puerto Escondido is a VERY cool town. It hosts the X Games in surfing and BMX biking. Surfing is definitely one of the most popular activities! The hostel is a 6 min walk from the sand of Carrizalillo Beach which is a great swimming beach and where people go for beginner surfing. It is a gorgeous little alcove area and you can even see the ocean from the top story of the hostel. The hostel is also 2 min walking distance from the Rinconada which is filled with Puerto Escondido's most popular restaurants, cafes, and bars. Another popular thing to do in Puerto Escondido is to go on a fishing trip where you not only return with fresh caught tuna, but also up close interactions with dolphins! Other activities in Puerto Escondido include: deep sea diving, snorkeling, kayaking, bird watching, visiting organic coffee plantations, whale-spotting trips, language school and a great night life!
