I stayed 1,5 month at the the hostel and had a wonderful time. Shannon takes really good care of the volunteers and we got to live together in a small apartment close to the hostel, where we had some privacy besides the hostel operation:) The work was really varied so it never got boring, and we had a lot of free time to explore Charlottetown. The island and city is beautiful but it is kinda hard to explore the island because of the bus transit. Anyways me and my boyfriend had a wonderful summer in Charlottetown! Would always come back :)

It was a very nice experience, in which I was able to see the way of life in the city and enjoy it. Shannon, the person in charge of the place, was also a very nice person who helped me at all times. 🫶🏼 Fue una experiencia muy linda, en la que pude ver la forma de vida de la ciudad y disfrutar de ella, también Shannon la encargada del lugar fue una persona muy linda y que me ayudo en todo momento.🫶🏼
