What thousands of Worldpackers are saying about it

Fernando

Ecuador

This agency allows for an incredible exchange between travelers and hosts where they both get something. In my case, as a traveler, I get unique experiences, new people in my life, personal development, and more.

Juliana

Brazil

I recommend the site to all my friends; the idea of exchanging what you can is simply brilliant. I'm having the experience of my life through your site and I'm eternally grateful to have discovered it. A big dream is to be part of this, helping others to have experiences as good as the one I am having.

Emilio

Colombia

It is definitely worth exploring the world through some activity other than the tourism that we all know, and I think Worldpackers is the opportunity to do it. It is necessary to live with communities, learn from them, teach what we know and live other types of experiences although clearly it is the opportunity to know and enjoy. Excellent!

Brian

Argentina

Worldpackers can change your life, thanks to this platform I had the best experiences of my life. Traveling and volunteering, I learned much more than in many years of my life. It is a platform that is growing more and more.

Gabriel

Brazil

Worldpackers is beyond 'traveling while saving money.' It’s about feeling a little more about the place where you are, meeting people and sharing stories and experiences. Values that you carry for the rest of your life!

Teagan

South Africa

Worldpackers is the reason I get to really experience new cultures. I get to live in different countries and meet the most amazing people.

Aixa

Argentina

It allows you to travel economically, really get to know the culture of the place and most importantly: meet wonderful and different people, which allows you to open up and evolve in many ways!!

Li

Costa Rica

It is an excellent platform! Volunteering is a unique experience that every person should live at some point in their life.

Stephen

Ireland

Volunteering through Worldpackers has given me the greatest experiences of my life. I would scream it from the rooftops. Good job, guys; you're a blessing to the earth.

Niccolò

Italy

Because the staff is really kind. As soon as I had a problem, Jair didn't hesitate to contact me, and he was sincerely worried about it. And I think it is a great website. Thank you all, guys; you made me live one of the best experiences of my life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are plan payments monthly or yearly?

Yearly :) You only pay for your plan one time to get all of its benefits for the full validity of your plan.

Do I have to pay any more fees to use the site?

Absolutely not. You won’t be charged anything else at all during the time you use Worldpackers, no matter how many applications you send out, the number of trips you take, or how much content you consume

Some specific hosts request an extra collaboration fee to contribute to their institution/NGO, or to help with costs to make your experience even more rewarding. Make sure to discuss this kind of information with your host before confirming your trip. Learn more.

Will I be charged automatically after my plan expires?

Don’t worry. We’ll never renew your plan automatically, so you’ll only be charged one time. We’ll reach out to you when your plan is about to expire, and the decision to renew it or not is entirely up to you :)

How do the Couples/Friends plans work?

The Couples/Friends plans were designed especially for those who want to volunteer together with a travel companion. Only one of you needs to pay, and then you can invite your companion. You will then both be able to apply to and confirm trips together during the full validity of your plan. In other words, you will not be able to apply individually.

You can see more details about the Couples/Friends plans here and find all of our open positions which accept multiple travelers here.

What if I don’t get a response from hosts?

We work hard to make sure our community hosts are always responsive. However, they do receive a lot of applications, and they need to pick volunteers that are the best fit for their projects.

So to increase your chances of being accepted, make your profile nice and complete, earn certificates in our Academy, and apply to multiple hosts that you can identify with.

And of course, our support team can also help you to find new volunteer opportunities and give you more tips to increase your chances.

How do refunds work?

Our refund policy follows the same rules as our Worldpackers Trips cancelation policy. Click here to see all of the terms and conditions for our refund process.
