I think I’ve stumbled into the perfect situation down here. I’ve been looking to reduce my expenses in an effort to save for a long trip at the end of my time in Argentina, and I ran across a Craigslist ad for a hostel in need of a night clerk in exchange for a free bed. Kilca Backpackers offered me the bed in exchange for working the night shift 3 times a week, which couldn’t be easier.
Duties include answering the door and phone, checking in guests and answering their questions, and generally just being there for whatever comes up. Usually I just chat with guests, listen to music, and work on my various writing projects. It’s right up my alley.
I also love the other people that work here, everyone has really interesting tales of their wanderings around South America. It’s nice to have a constant stream of new folks coming through that are generally chill and unique.
I was out of commission for a little while there dealing with getting settled and hunkering down on some big projects, but I’m back full force now. I should have some new pictures up from the hostel and around Buenos Aires real soon.
