Have you ever wondered what it would be like to travel the world?
To meet new people, to have new experiences, to learn a new language or to help someone around the world?
Here at Worldpackers, that’s what we do.
Worldpackers connects you with volunteer and cultural exchange opportunities around the world.
We’re a global community of more than one million people that believe traveling is the purest form of education.
This is how it works:
You exchange your skills for accommodation, meaning you help 24 hours per week in exchange for a place to stay, meals and other benefits.
You pay $49 dollars for a one-year membership which provides you a support team to help you along your way and an engaging community of more than one million travelers sharing ideas and experiences.
Also, you can apply to thousands of travel opportunities worldwide.
It’s safe, it’s affordable, and it’s completely possible for you.
So what are you waiting for? Go travel!

I am wandering if Worldpackers also provide family friendly volunteer opportunities. We are a french family (a couple with 2 boys of 9 and 12) and we project to travel in 2021-2022 in Asia. Thank you for your answer.

I am interested to join but need to know few things;
Is it a must that I will automatically get chance to work once I have paid $50 and become a member?
OR..Will I have to wait for approval from the host to visit him?
What If I want to Volunteer some where and my prescribed skills are not needed any where there, In that case, is it possible to represent myself something like..." Any type of work"...because some of the work can be done by any person regardless of his area of expertise/skills like washing dishes, cleaning, taking care of reception etc.
Can I choose to select my host by myself and talk via Skype/Whats app OR through a phone call OR I will have to wait till some one likes me and invite to talk and then travel.
Kindly guide..Thanks.

Hi,
We are a family of 5 (mum, dad, 9 year old, 6 year old and 5 year old). And we wonder if Worldpackers is suitable for family-volunteering too, or only for adults.
Thank you
