Would recommend Honestly, I've really enjoyed my exchanges with worldpackers above some other sites. There's a decent variety in many places. I only had one bad experience but worldpackers mediated between us as volunteers and the host to somewhat resolve the situation. I would recommend over other sites for the ease of searching and better variety of exchanges

Today i bought a membership Today i bought a membership, and the payment was completed, but it’s not showing on my profile! Such a scam!! There’s no support or possibility to get in contact with them. So, please return my money. I have now read your answer to my review. Where do i send my e-mail?

waste of money waste of money. They will not show you any requirements the place has until you pay the membership. A lot of places discriminate against your sex or even age! If you're over 40, good luck! There are also people to say they host but, when you apply they offer you to pay $30 a night. There are only 3-4 hostels available in the entire Los Angeles and if you get a response from at least one. You'll be super lucky. Don't waste your money.

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.

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.
