I really enjoyed my time at Birmingham Central Backpackers. The hosts were very nice and flexible and the job was not difficult, so I could enjoy the city and meet amazing people. I am very grateful for everything! Thanks for all :D

Volunteering at Discovery was definitely the best experience I could ever wish for. Not only did the staff totally embrace me and make me feel like home, we have become great friends. I'll miss them all and remember this experience for the rest of my life. 💚

Frequently Asked Questions

Are plan payments monthly or yearly?

Yearly :) You only pay for your plan one time to get all of its benefits for the full validity of your plan.

Do I have to pay any more fees to use the site?

Absolutely not. You won’t be charged anything else at all during the time you use Worldpackers, no matter how many applications you send out, the number of trips you take, or how much content you consume

Some specific hosts request an extra collaboration fee to contribute to their institution/NGO, or to help with costs to make your experience even more rewarding. Make sure to discuss this kind of information with your host before confirming your trip. Learn more.

Will I be charged automatically after my plan expires?

Don’t worry. We’ll never renew your plan automatically, so you’ll only be charged one time. We’ll reach out to you when your plan is about to expire, and the decision to renew it or not is entirely up to you :)

How do the Couples/Friends plans work?

The Couples/Friends plans were designed especially for those who want to volunteer together with a travel companion. Only one of you needs to pay, and then you can invite your companion. You will then both be able to apply to and confirm trips together during the full validity of your plan. In other words, you will not be able to apply individually.

You can see more details about the Couples/Friends plans here and find all of our open positions which accept multiple travelers here.

What if I don’t get a response from hosts?

We work hard to make sure our community hosts are always responsive. However, they do receive a lot of applications, and they need to pick volunteers that are the best fit for their projects.

So to increase your chances of being accepted, make your profile nice and complete, earn certificates in our Academy, and apply to multiple hosts that you can identify with.

And of course, our support team can also help you to find new volunteer opportunities and give you more tips to increase your chances.

How do refunds work?

Our refund policy follows the same rules as our Worldpackers Trips cancelation policy. Click here to see all of the terms and conditions for our refund process.
