Great expierience
It was my first volunteering expierience and i enjoyed it a lot. I spend my month at hostel in Portugal - helping with everyday responsibilities like managing reception, cleaning and creating good atmosphere. I meet many new friends and we spent much time together. Thanks to Worldpackers i discovered that volunteering is not scary. I would recommend this comunnity to every person who want to start this.

Worldpackers team,
Did everything they told me, got nothing.
I spent a lot of time creating my full profile according to their suggestions. I took all the recommended courses. I contacted all the hosts I was interested in, and none of them responded positively. Most of them didn't even respond. Many months have passed, and no new interesting hosts appear either. For me, the result was just a waste of time and money. I hope others had better experiences.

What made using Worldpackers so great…
What made using Worldpackers so great is how everything is so easy to use and understand. My first volunteering experience 3 years ago and also traveling solo to a different country was made much easier by worldpackers. What made my trips even better were the people I got to meet along the way. Unfortunately I didn't get to meet any other volunteers on my trip but the people I did get to meet thru my host family's were super nice. This app is really great if you don't want to just travel like every other tourist but to really get immersed in the local culture.

The platform is easy to use
The website is easy to use. The hosts are nice (I went to three volunteer sites in Japan). When issue occurred, Worldpacker support team responded and took care of my requests quickly. I had a good experience.

One of the most delightful adventures…
One of the most delightful adventures of my life. Worldpackers connected us to an incredible host and then created an absolutely incredible adventure itinerary for our trip to the Amazon at Puyo, Ecuador.
The caretakers were incredible, the hosts remarkably kind, and the monkey were wholesome, mischievious, and full of life. I would recommend this org to anyone with a spirit of adventure. I'll definitely be returning for another trip with them someday!!

2 weeks in a hostel changed my life
Hey! I have dreamed of traveling fulli time and meeting people from around the globe for a long time. I already worked as a summer counselor - and couldn't imagine more suitable position for myself. Now I am just after a volunteering position in Ember Hostel, Denver, as a Fun Facilitator - capturing videos, gathering with fellow travelers and making connection was never as easy. I have already caught up with a couple different volunteers from around the States, and I am sing up for a Magic Forest Camp in Albany, New York and Buddhist Temple in Rock Hill, New York. This year I want to try only a couple budget positions around the same area, yet my stay in Colorado has opened my eyes so wide! Even my heart started beating differently - so many great people that I have met. I am proud of the way I fit right into the team out in the hostel and how I could be a part of a family with fellow volunteers, coworkers, travelers and local people out there in Denver. I even hit the gym every day! :D Life is good. And it's even better now because of worldpackers :) my instagram @jakubsznajder_ for any additional feedback... especially for those how still don't believe that it's so simple :P
