This was my first experience as a volunteer, and it was absolutely incredible. Phuong and his team were always helpful, and I felt truly welcomed and supported throughout. Definitely an experience I would highly recommend!

My experience at the host was absolutely incredible! Phuong and Zé are fantastic hosts, always ready to help with anything you need. This was a completely new experience for me—my first time traveling with Worldpackers and my first time teaching kids—and it was truly unforgettable. The only thing to note is that the workload is usually more than the advertised 10 hours, often reaching up to 25 hours per week. If you're working remotely, I suggest discussing your availability with them in advance—they are very understanding and will do their best to accommodate your schedule. loved it!

Hi Joice! Thank you so much for the kind words! Just want to make something clear for future readers of your review, you typed 25 instead of 15:) So yes, on average is about 15 hours a week, but this can vary depending on the number of volunteers, and full time teachers available. Some weeks the volunteers can only work 10 hours and have 3 or more days off. Some weeks, we might need some extra help and it can be around 18h per week, however, when this happens, the following week we compensate it

Welcoming and kind host. We learned a lot about the Vietnamese culture which was amazing. The children were cute and friendly. All in all, we had 3 exciting weeks with the host and his family.

My experience here was unbelievable, since we were in the airport because they drive to us and show us everything about the house where live teachers, about the local food and everything was organize and clear. They were more than incredible I love all experience here.
