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.

This course taught me about trip planning, picking a host that works best for me, and preparing myself for unwanted scenarios. I learned how I can call for help if I feel uncomfortable and protect myself in a foreign country.

This course does an amazing job on explaining a full understanding of what Worldpackers really is and what it stands for. I was able to fully grasp how Worldpackers works and what I need to do in order to make myself an excellent Worldpacker!

Excellent course, and I feel very prepared to embark on my Worldpackers adventure. I think the structure of the course could be improved a bit. For e.g., the instructor refers to the values in a video that is placed before the deep dive into said values. This was slightly confusing.

However, the course overall was very useful and informative :)

I found this course to be digestible, although many of the expectations surrounding host and volunteer experience seemed obvious; I appreciate how detailed they were about offering solutions for each scenario.
