The course gave me insight information into what is expected from a traveller as well as what it really means to be part of a hostal family. Furthermore I was relieved knowing that hostels usually do not requiere previous work experience and that as long as you are willing to learn new skills, hostel work offers a great opportunity to further your skill set and get to know new cultures.

have completed several courses through the Worldpackers Academy, which helped me gain a better understanding of volunteering, community life, and hospitality. These courses taught me skills in teamwork, communication, cultural exchange, and practical abilities to contribute effectively to different types of projects.
Through this experience, I have gained confidence in applying these skills in real volunteer opportunities and developed a clearer understanding of how to be a helpful, adaptable, and responsible volunteer.
