In this kind of volunteering, you're not just another worker — the goal is to become like a temporary member of the family, respecting their way of doing things and being open to learning from day one.

I really enjoyed this course on preparing for volunteering in hostels through Worldpackers. It provided clear, practical tips on what to expect, how to communicate with hosts, and how to make the most out of the experience. I especially appreciated the focus on mindset, cultural sensitivity, and adapting to different environments. It gave me more confidence and helped me feel better prepared for my upcoming trip. Highly recommend it for anyone wanting to volunteer, it’ll definitely help understand what to expect a lot better.
