Transparent community reviews

At the end of each exchange, travelers and hosts leave reviews about their shared experience. This gives you transparency for every volunteer opportunity.

When you confirm your volunteer trips through our site, you’ll make a formal agreement with your host including dates, activities, hours, benefits (like accommodation, meals, and others) and the rules of the position you applied to.

What thousands of Worldpackers are saying about it

Amanda

I give them a 10 out of 10 because it’s an excellent travel platform!!! They have great support for travelers, and places all around the world to visit and explore. Whenever I’m traveling and after my trips, I tell friends and family about the site and the benefits of traveling with it, how it’s cheaper because you save on accommodation and often on food too, not to mention the experiences I have while traveling and the countless things I learn!

Lucas

To put it simply, you helped me to travel to one of the coolest places I’ve ever seen. I had all the support I needed from your team, and even from other people who’ve already traveled to the same destination. You really get a 10/10.

Fernanda

The absolute best support! I’m already recommending you to everyone I know, I’ve never had this kind of experience before and it’s all thanks to you offering these exchange opportunities at a low cost for everyone who dares to dream big. Thank you so much! You rock!

Cinthia

The Worldpackers community gives you just that, a community to ask for advice or help along the way, a safety net if you need one! The range & diversity of experiences make this an ideal place to begin a travel search for just about anyone! (:
