The #lazyhostel survived #hurricaneirma with minimal damage thanks to this awesome team of #workaway volunteers! Not only did they pack the whole hostel, bar and kitchen up weatherproofing for the storm but they stayed on the island through the hurricane, though they had the option to evacuate, and made themselves available for after storm island cleanup. It was a long week without power but they toughed it out and have all worked hard to put the hostel and Lazy Jack's Bar back together. We couldn't have done it without them! #viequesisland #puertorico #awesomestaff #islandfamily #islandlife #hostellife #whatastory (at The Lazy Hostel Vieques)

Today guests got to try Guava paste with their breakfast! Sounds weird, right? But it's AMAZING and a staple in Central and South America. In Puerto Rico we spread it on toast, eat it with cheese, add it to empanadas, use it to glaze pork and more! You can probably find it at your local supermarket in the Latin section so try it out for an authentic taste of the islands at home. #guavapaste #guava #travellikealocal #islandadventure #viequesisland #puertoricanfood #puertorico #goya #guayaba #lazyhostel #adventuretravel #caribbeanvacation #cheaptravel #travelonabudget (at The Lazy Hostel Vieques)

It was a tough day for Poncho (he adopted us! Not the other way round). Thunder and lighting this morning which meant lots of #jenga and #scrabble for guests but it cleared up and turned into a wonderful beach day! #islanddog #gameday #hurricaneseason #hostellife #carribeanlife #lazyhostel #sato #viequesisland #puertorico #puppies #dogs (at Lazy Jacks Vieques)
