This was my first time traveling outside of the U.S. and I immediately felt welcomed by Su & Vero as they hugged me when I arrived at the airport and offered to carry some of my items. Since my stay was short, they wanted me to have a fulfilling experience not just with the organization but with exploring the city to learn more about the culture and people, so they recommended different things for me to try. All in all, I am super grateful for my experience and all the people I have met especially the children, volunteers (Rosario & Lisa), CiCi, Carmen, Su & Vero💜 Thank you all for having me 🫶🏾

I had a wonderful experience in Mexico helping with the school. Veronica and Su were waiting for me at the airport with hugs and a smile. They made me part of the family. I felt like a v.i.p to them the whole time! The school director was lovely and the students were very happy to try "yoga for children" with me. I met generous volunteers of all ages from the u.s.a. and other countries. We had a blast visiting tourist attractions together. I feel so lucky to have this as my first worldpackers experience. I would definitely recommend it. I hope to return !

This was my first time traveling with a friend through Worldpackers and it was great! I was initially a little nervous but our hosts Vero and Su were accommodating and welcoming. Since we visited Puerto Vallarta during the holiday season, we were not able to work with the kids as we had originally expected but we were able to volunteer a little bit with the teachers. We got to visit a variety of places in Puerto Vallarta and learn more about Mexican and Peruvian culture through conversations with Vero and Su. They made us feel like part of their family in their beautiful home. Muchas gracias!

I had the most incredible time at the zoo in huancayo. Gabriela and her parents are so kind and I felt welcome from day 1. Working at the zoo was such a great experience and I learnt so much. All the staff were great and only one person could speak English so it really helped me to practice Spanish. The only perhaps downside I would say is that I only worked at the zoo until lunchtime. Afterwards I found there isn't much to do, but was perfect for me as I have exams when I get back so I could revise. There are some great tours available for the weekends though! I loved my time here :)

Wonderful experience! Poye has two locations - one in the organization and the other in Puerto Vallarta. Be sure to confirm the location they need assistance with and be ok to discuss the options that work best for you. I stayed two weeks at their location in Puerto Vallarta. I worked with the 3-5 year olds teaching them numbers, letters, and colors in English. Su and Verónica worked with me on my Spanish, healing rituals, and showed me the city and secrets of PV. I'd suggest any and all to come and support a great cause with wonderful people. I'd love to come again.
