Cleaning, Housekeeping, Reception, and Night Shift
Rafael is an amazing traveling soul! He is real Vagabond! We loved having him around. For us it is mostly important that the volunteer is honest, reliable and punctual. He is all that and beyond. He did all of his chores accordingly and even more. He is easygoing and fun to be around. We highly recommend Rafael for all kind of volunteering position. Wish you all the best!
I had a great experience at the hostel and it definitely contributed a lot for the great time I also had in Bosnia. Sarajevo is now one of my favorite cities in Europe. Aida, the owner is very kind and flexible. I asked her consecutive days off, so I could travel, she didn't hesitated in giving it. The tasks are simple and not boring, I was doing the night shift three times a week, it's long hours, but it's ok. Just three days 😉 The location of the hostel is awesome. And the atmosphere there is very familiar. I strongly recommend everyone to volunteer there.
Dear Rafael, thank you for being a part of our growing family. Good luck to you amazing Vagabond!

Rafael, thank you for your time and effort here at the Yellow! We loved your positive vibes and really appreciate all the input you gave us. We were happy to have an instagram influencer in our team. Best of luck on your future and we hope to see you back at the Yellow! Welcome to the family!
Such a good vibes atmosphere and a lot of good spirit, funny and amazing people in the same place. The hostel has a system of earning credits which is very good and promotes pro-activity, as the more you do for the hostel you get more credits. They kindly give space to all the good ideas you might have and will do everything possible to put it in practice. Keep in mind it's a party hostel, and you're gonna definitely party a lot. Hope you have as much fun as I did. I had a great time there and wish everyone from the Yellow family all the best. Rafa
Child Care, Arts, Teaching Languages, and Social Work
By far, not only one of the best experiences I had in my one year trip but also in my life. the community is much more than just a volunteer program. It's a whole community. Everything is so intense, I learned so much there and I met a lot of nice and interesting people. The reality is tough, but in the end you feel so grateful for everything in your life. I cannot put in words what I experienced there, but I can say it was a life change experience. I strongly recommend everyone to have this amazing experience. Thank you very much for the opportunity. Rafael
