The Experience

Teach English to adults and children at our school in Vidigal (three afternoons per week). Live at our pousada in Vidigal in a glass-fronted shared room opening out directory onto the rainforest, with uninterrupted views of the ocean. There’s a 75 step walk down from the road but that’s a price worth paying for hearing the waves rather than traffic noise.

This was my first Worldpackers experience, and going to Rio to help at the hostel was one of the best decisions I ever made!! The people I met there will forever stay close to my heart <3 Victor, James and Lydia did their best job at providing a comfortable environment in the house and also at the school, to say the least. It's also a great opportunity to make a real change in people's life's when you're teaching English at the school. Adding to those things, it's also in a great location, safety wise and also close to the best beaches in Rio.

I really enjoyed every moment at the hostel. This was my first world packers experience. I met amazing people, and it really felt like a family. I appreciate James and Larry and the rest of the gente at the hostel 💚 for creating such a nurturing environment. You will be immersed in Brazilian culture and get to experience the local culture around you. Working with the children is awesome, they are energetic and eager to learn! Also it is close to some of the best beaches in Rio! It was an amazing experience and I recommend it to anyone who is looking to have a fun, life changing experience.🇧🇷

The exérience at eschola the hostel was one I will never forget. The program gives you the oppurtunity to make real change within society and gives you a real life look at how most of Rio lives. Through the school, I was able to face challenges, establish connections, and learn about other people's lives that were so vastly different than my own.

The hostel and the Host James will take you to a next level Rio de Janeiro experience. Mainly due to his commitment on making activities go smooth and intellectually challeging aswell. I stayed at Santa teresa for the social entrepreneurship program. We created a food brand concept and implemented it in a span of four weeks, all for Pedro, a local from vidigal. It was challenging but also easygoing due to the house we stayed, the activities we did in between work and the people involved. Great experience !
