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.

Muito legal. Estou me preparando para fazer minha primeira experiência com o Worldpackers e estou cada vez mais animada. É muito bom tirar os planos do papel e sentir que as coisas estão caminhando para onde sempre sonhamos!

This course is clear, practical, and very helpful. It goes beyond basics and shows what really makes a volunteer stand out, especially in communication and responsibility. I feel much more confident applying to opportunities and working with hosts. Highly recommend.

This is a clear, practical, and motivating 6-episode course. It explains expectations on both sides, highlights good communication, responsibility, and cultural sensitivity, and gives useful tips that help volunteers stand out. The episodes are well structured, easy to follow, and very encouraging—especially for people who want to volunteer responsibly and confidently. A great starting point for anyone serious about meaningful volunteering through Worldpackers.
