Hey I'm Meg! I caught the travel bug at 19 and haven't been able to stop. While I do work full time now, my job allows me a lot of freedom for wonderful adventures around the world. I am extroverted, organized and love to capture my experiences through video & photography.

As aulas são curtas, fáceis de entender e realmente ajudam a se sentir mais preparado pra primeira experiência. No geral, vale a pena e dá aquela confiança.

The course was super useful, being a firs-time Worldpacker. I agree that it's important to know where to travel to but it's just as important to find the right host and activity that suits my needs not just by location. The video describes how reviews are important not just for hosts but for first time and longtime Worldpackers around the world. Helping others to find the right fit. Your time schedules in planning your volunteer opportunities, it's not just about your time but your host's as well. We need to be considerate in being transparent and communicate to the best of our ability.
