Hello everybody!
This is Mikel is Irena. We need your help to help me run a small guest house in the beautiful city of Shkodra, Albania.
The hostel is located not far away from the center, so it is in a quite neighbourhood. Shkodra our city is the city that everybody loves when passes by. We do have the biggest lake in the Balcans. A 2400 years old castle. 2 rivers in both sides of the city, third river north. The sea just 30 Km away, and Albanian alps, 70 km away.
The work of volunteers consist in daily routine stuff like: smiling, enjoying the beautiful days, cleaning, and small daily tasks that need to be done around the place different from day to day. Last thing, is to enjoy this place and have fun.
In the garden there are a lot of fruit trees from end of May till end of January.
We do have a really lovely dog named Tia. She is the living legend, mascot and White queen of our place.
And two cats named Sirius and Black.Types of help and learning opportunities

I had a great time at the hostel. Whilst we did have some guests I was there before the beginning of the season so our job was mostly to prepare the hostel. We had a good variety of work from chopping palm leaves to adding new features to the dorm rooms. We had access to some bikes and Shkoder is an incredible place to… read more
Amazing guy. Always smiling. Never said no to any tasks. Even if he didn't know how to do stuff, had the good will to learn and give his 110%. Is that kind of person you have the feeling you know him in ages.
Definitely the guy you want as a volunteer. Highly recommended.
It was a lot of fun during all the time they where around. A lot of laughs are made, good memories.
Wish you all the best guys, and see you in December.
Guys wish you all the best and hope you make it up to India

Albania is a very unique country in Europe, as it still has its own touch which isn't influenced that much by Western society.
You will see people riding horses on the streets next to cars, people selling their organic fruits and vegetables mostly everywhere and very helpful and friendly people. And… read more
