What thousands of Worldpackers are saying about it

Rahul

India

Everyone should travel; it's the same as reading a book. And with Worldpackers, you blend in with locals like deep diving into the book.

Valentina

Argentina

Volunteering for me was an endless change both personally and socially. I grew as a person and related to others. So it is super RECOMMENDED.

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.

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

Patty

Brazil

It was an incredible experience! I think this intermediary between those who want to receive and those who want to travel is perfect for getting to know the local culture. Get to know people, places, and things that you wouldn't know if you were on a tourist trip. Incredible! They are to be congratulated!

Emilio

Colombia

It is definitely worth exploring the world through some activity other than the tourism that we all know, and I think Worldpackers is the opportunity to do it. It is necessary to live with communities, learn from them, teach what we know and live other types of experiences although clearly it is the opportunity to know and enjoy. Excellent!

Maya

Netherlands

I like the way it gives you the chance to not only visit another country but to feel like you are immersed there, living there, and have a family there.

Gabriel

Brazil

Worldpackers is beyond 'traveling while saving money.' It’s about feeling a little more about the place where you are, meeting people and sharing stories and experiences. Values that you carry for the rest of your life!

Pryscila

Brazil

The site is incredible, the search levels are wonderful. I want to travel more with Worldpackers; I feel safe with all the support they give travelers.

Géssica

Brazil

As my first experience as a worldpacker, I wanted to do this more often, to travel, meet more and more people, learn about their culture and their ways of thinking. I recommend that everyone who wants to grow as a person and really wants to learn more about this world take part in volunteering. Volunteering is now my new hobby.
