Fiona (Switzerland)

why i volunteer

Amazing Hostel, really friendly staff, cool town and good food to just mention some of the reasons.

After hitting the road for a while with a quite tight schedule, I wanted to stay at one place for a bit longer and Song of Travel was just the perfect place to do that. Fiona and the rest of the staff took me in and really made me feel home. Especially with having dinner together at the rooftop and full access to the kitchen.

During my time here I learned a lot about the culture and even managed to say some words in Burmese :) The staff was super patient in teaching me and in general extremely friendly! Also the work was fun. I truly enjoyed helping out at the reception, talking to guests and giving information about tours and what to see in Nyaung Shwe.
