travel how you like it with worldpackers I saw different places around europe, met so many people from different countries, made friends everywhere and collected a lot of unforgettable memories. This was only possible through worldpackers ! You can decide where you wanna go, what fits to you and what kind of experience you want. Furthermore you will always have the support of worldpackers behind your back and if help is needed they are gonna solve it. I am very glad that I started my trip with worldpackers!

I traveled around France by bicycle I traveled around France by bicycle. I went from place to place about every two to three weeks. I was always warmly welcomed to each host place. Each one was different, which made it even more enjoyable. I am 65 and had no problem getting a placement. Each place even wanted me to continue staying and welcomed me back any time I was in the area. I met volunteers that were semi skilled down to novice. Each person was assigned a project that they could complete with ease. In Ireland I met some lifelong friends and hope to return at some point.

I've been using sites such as this one… I've been using sites such as this one and workaway and after several trips abroad I have learnt the ugly truth that its just a way of people using you for cheap labour. Remember that most of the hosts are using these sites to avoid having to pay for workers in the first place (, which raises questions about their ethics) you are insignificant to them as there will always be someone else to replace you. Essentially the website is taking your money in order for someone else to use you as free labour. Please have a long think about this fact Before you start buying expensive plane tickets.

I am travelling full time for one and a… I am travelling full time for one and a half years, almost exclusively using Worldpackers. It made travel affordable, safe and much more exciting. Most of my hosts were wonderful, and if not ,misunderstandings were managable. If you sign up and do 5 programs with positive reviews about you ,the next year is free. I payed much less for the second year, and now I can use it for free as I did over 12 programs. You have to always look up the reviews of hosts, and also don’t expect everyone to answer, but to my experience at least my second or third choices normally work out. I never had to leave an experience early, so I don’t know how is their support system with that, but the smaller issues I had they always replied me promptly. As with everything on the internet and travel, you have to be smart for yourself, trust your gut, be creative and ready to adapt. My hosts respected the agreement and worked with many volunteers before. I can recommend it if you want to travel sustainably and smartly.
