I had a wonderful time at Central Backpackers! Given it was my first Worldpackers experience, I was a bit nervous beforehand, but the volunteers, owners, and Anthony (the manager) were all friendly and helped create a welcoming environment. As for the work, the expectations were clear and the tasks weren’t difficult. They were also good about scheduling and making sure we had time to explore Oxford and beyond. I spent many days wandering around the city and reading in parks, but I also enjoyed plenty of movie nights and pub quizzes with the other volunteers/guests. I would do it all again (:

I truly felt accompanied and included since the first day. It was such a pleasure to be surrounded by open and beautiful volunteers and guests, all in a safe environment. I appreciated the international side of the hostel, but also what the city of Oxford has to offer.
This first volunteering experience really motivates me to continue many others overseas. 🤞🏻Moreover, this experience can help you thrive and definitely give you more confidence.
I'm glad to have lived these cherished moments there 🧡, and I'm sure, for any future volunteer who reads me, you will agree !

My time in Oxford with Central Backpackers was truly amazing. The hostel is cozy and lively, the work easy to pick up, and there’s always someone to help. A big thanks to our manager Anthony for his support and flexible scheduling, which let me explore the UK.
With at least six volunteers, it’s easy to make great friends. I will always be grateful for the lifelong friendships I made and all the memories we created, from TV & pub quiz nights to baking and road trips. Oxford itself, with its parks and historic charm, is the perfect place. I highly recommend this experience to anyone! :)

My experience at Central Backpackers was great!
Anthony, the manager, is very friendly, professional, and always flexible. He really helped me reach my goals of improving my English, allowing me to take classes every morning, and of learning more about hospitality. He's also very attentive to the relationships and needs of the volunteers helping to create a friendly and welcoming environment.
Oxford is a great place to improve your English, thanks to its many schools and international environment. It's always lovely to take walks through the meadows, along the river, or in the city centre.
