Worldpackers 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.

Worldpackers is the best Worldpackers is the best! Its such a fun way to travel, make friends and learn about yourself. I wouldnt be who I am today without my Worldpackers experience

I am travelling full time for one and a… I am travelling full time for one and a half years, almost exclusively using Worldpackers. It made travel affordable, safe and much more exciting. Most of my hosts were wonderful, and if not ,misunderstandings were managable. If you sign up and do 5 programs with positive reviews about you ,the next year is free. I payed much less for the second year, and now I can use it for free as I did over 12 programs. You have to always look up the reviews of hosts, and also don’t expect everyone to answer, but to my experience at least my second or third choices normally work out. I never had to leave an experience early, so I don’t know how is their support system with that, but the smaller issues I had they always replied me promptly. As with everything on the internet and travel, you have to be smart for yourself, trust your gut, be creative and ready to adapt. My hosts respected the agreement and worked with many volunteers before. I can recommend it if you want to travel sustainably and smartly.

No screening of helpers, allow criminals to use platform No screening of helpers. Horrible experience for a very accommodating host. A liar and convicted criminal was permitted to operate through their system and stay at our family home; then follow it up with a negative review which was totally unwarranted and unjustified. The guy had serious psychological issues and skipped out in the middle of the night. No assistance offered on how to manage the situation or accountability by Worldpackers, just generic replies. Then allowing him submit an inaccurate negative review was like rubbing salt in the wound. There's other better managed platforms. I suggest using one of these instead. Avoid Worldpackers if you care about your home/business.

A great community for anyone interested in solo traveling I first started using Worldpackers as a solo female traveler at 19. It allowed for me to meet people and live life in new ways I probably wouldn’t have gotten the chance to. I have learned so much and connected with amazing travelers and projects along the way. I also really appreciate the information we have access to on the website. There are a variety of different videos you can watch about traveling, agriculture, and so much more. Overall It is a great way to start traveling and to meet people with a strong desire to make a meaningful impact in their communities and the world.
