GBI've been using sites such as this one… I've been using sites such as this one and workaway and after several trips abroad I have learnt the ugly truth that its just a way of people using you for cheap labour. Remember that most of the hosts are using these sites to avoid having to pay for workers in the first place (, which raises questions about their ethics) you are insignificant to them as there will always be someone else to replace you. Essentially the website is taking your money in order for someone else to use you as free labour. Please have a long think about this fact Before you start buying expensive plane tickets.

EGI do not recommend using this… I do not recommend using this application because there are many defects and the volunteer offers are old and not up to date. They also do not want to refund money because I sent volunteer requests and they are all expired or closed. There is no acceptance to refuse to refund adding people.

COWorldpackers changed my life positively I can say that Worldpackers changed my life positively. 5 years ago I started traveling as a volunteer, it was my first approach to a true life of travel, since I had no money. Not only did I meet wonderful people and places, I also improved many skills both at work and on a personal level, which has helped me create portfolios as a professional and relate better to people (both from my culture and from others). I can say that it was not only a way to save money, since all those learnings quickly began to generate money, enough to continue traveling to any destination I wanted, so now when I volunteer (because I still do it from time to time) , I do it just for the pleasure, not for the money. Of course, with so many volunteers for so many years I had some unpleasant experiences, but I always had the support of the support, so I definitely would not dare to volunteer outside the Worldpackers platform.

NLWorldpackers gave me the opportunity to travel on a budget and engage in the local culture I personally did 3 projects with Worldpackers and I loved it! The community is amazing and I especially liked my stay in Indonesia where I lived with a local family for a month and taught English. For me Worldpackers gave me the opportunity to save money while traveling and engage in a unique way with the local culture. Obviously, not everything always goes perfectly, but friends of mine needed to cut a stay short due to problems with the host and Worldpackers paid for accommodation until the end of their originally intended stay (3days). Furthermore, I think reading the reviews of a project is very important and the possibility to reach out with question to people who been to the project before is amazing and helps you to answer any questions not mentioned in the project description. In my experience the hosts are also quite flexible about the length of your stay. And just a friendly reminder that you should not expect Luxurious accommodations, or at least that was never the case for me, but I made it work and I loved my experience with Worldpackers and would for sure do it again.

GBHORRIBLE host and experience HORRIBLE host and experience. The housing was filthy, over-full and afforded NO privacy. The work was chaotic and not at all as described. Clearly, Worldpackers doesn't vet their "opportunities" at all. You take your chances!!!
