Worldpackers changed my life positively I can say that Worldpackers changed my life positively. 5 years ago I started traveling as a volunteer, it was my first approach to a true life of travel, since I had no money. Not only did I meet wonderful people and places, I also improved many skills both at work and on a personal level, which has helped me create portfolios as a professional and relate better to people (both from my culture and from others). I can say that it was not only a way to save money, since all those learnings quickly began to generate money, enough to continue traveling to any destination I wanted, so now when I volunteer (because I still do it from time to time) , I do it just for the pleasure, not for the money. Of course, with so many volunteers for so many years I had some unpleasant experiences, but I always had the support of the support, so I definitely would not dare to volunteer outside the Worldpackers platform.

Encounter of a 3rd kind volunteer/helper. I had a bad experience with a volunteer who came to help us a month ago, but honestly speaking I'd an encounter with a "Mafia like volunteer' He's a violent volunteer & he really scared me much because he easily got angry & screaming at me, about five of us presence. Neigbours were staring from three corners of the residence houses. We tried to calm down though he's still screaming at us. When he was not screaming at me anymore, he's threatening by ways of his body language. He banged my car so hard that the windscreen could have cracked!! The van that he borrowed from us, though his off day, was with petrol-empty & requested us to pull our van to the Petrol- station for refill. Later, I need to call a mechanic to repair as its engine was not functioning! These were some of the scary experiences but the rest I'll not write as it's very discouraging........ When he wrote review to Worldpackers.com Team about me it's untruth that he's presenting to the company team, saying that we didn't provide meals & not fulfilling our agreement & contract. Because of this reason, my Profile in worldpackers.com had gone down to 4 stars! So, this was a unreasonable, thoughtless, unfair & fraud review by a volunteer that came to my guesthouse. I hope worldpackers.com will look into this fraud review by a "gangster-like" volunteer.

Intro to my travels I used Worldpackers when I first started backpacking around Latin America almost 5 years ago. Being on a very low budget and not having any prior experience of solo travel, I used this platform to find hostels to volunteer at. It offered quite a few options and most of the hosts were very responsive. I'm truly grateful for the experience I've got to have thanks to Worldpackers!

A great community for anyone interested in solo traveling I first started using Worldpackers as a solo female traveler at 19. It allowed for me to meet people and live life in new ways I probably wouldn’t have gotten the chance to. I have learned so much and connected with amazing travelers and projects along the way. I also really appreciate the information we have access to on the website. There are a variety of different videos you can watch about traveling, agriculture, and so much more. Overall It is a great way to start traveling and to meet people with a strong desire to make a meaningful impact in their communities and the world.
