What thousands of Worldpackers are saying about it

Yousra

The support team is very responsive and provides assistance. The hosts are trustworthy, and there are so many options.

Juliana

Brazil

I recommend the site to all my friends; the idea of exchanging what you can is simply brilliant. I'm having the experience of my life through your site and I'm eternally grateful to have discovered it. A big dream is to be part of this, helping others to have experiences as good as the one I am having.

Yiyi and Marcos

Argentina

I believe that Worldpackers helps you live experiences wherever you are in the world, accompanies you and guides you. I always recommend it to my traveling friends, and I talk to my family about this app. Very useful.

Izabella

Brazil

Worldpackers has helped me a lot since I left home and decided to go backpacking, without this platform I don't know if I would have been able to get this far and have had all the experiences I have had <3

Nathalia

Brazil

The exchange that Worldpackers offers is very good. It's not just a considerable saving on accommodation, but a really cool network, connections, and unforgettable experiences away from home!

Helka

Hungary

In my opinion, the best way to learn about ourselves and also about the world is through traveling. When combined with volunteering, it allows you to get an even deeper sense of the chosen place and experience the local way of life. It's also nice to be able to give something back in exchange for the amazing memories you make on the journey.

Stephen

Ireland

Volunteering through Worldpackers has given me the greatest experiences of my life. I would scream it from the rooftops. Good job, guys; you're a blessing to the earth.

Li

Costa Rica

It is an excellent platform! Volunteering is a unique experience that every person should live at some point in their life.

Katherine

U.S.

The platform is very organized and easy to read, which helps find the most suitable opportunities. But more importantly, the way that reviews are handled and that previous Worldpacker volunteers are listed on posts makes this website the most trustworthy one in my opinion, which for a solo female traveler is paramount.

Gabino

Argentina

It is a very interesting way to get to know people, places, and have experiences that bring you closer to the realities of the people who live in the places you visit, being able to transform the places and live the experiences with your own body.
