Entry-level plan for budget travelers.
1 year
Ireland
Volunteering through Worldpackers has given me the greatest experiences of my life. I would scream it from the rooftops. Good job, guys; you're a blessing to the earth.
Brazil
The exchange that Worldpackers offers is very good. It's not just a considerable saving on accommodation, but a really cool network, connections, and unforgettable experiences away from home!
Germany
This was my first-ever Worldpacker experience. This is a great platform for the creative, young, budget, and aspiring travelers. I hope Worldpacker provides the great opportunities as well as provides the continuous support to maintain the quality of this excellent idea.
Italy
Because the staff is really kind. As soon as I had a problem, Jair didn't hesitate to contact me, and he was sincerely worried about it. And I think it is a great website. Thank you all, guys; you made me live one of the best experiences of my life.
Brazil
I believe Worldpackers' special mission is to improve the world and motivate people to be happy, travel, and do good. Since I discovered Worldpackers, I highly recommend it to friends, family, and anyone with whom the subject comes up.
Colombia
It is definitely worth exploring the world through some activity other than the tourism that we all know, and I think Worldpackers is the opportunity to do it. It is necessary to live with communities, learn from them, teach what we know and live other types of experiences although clearly it is the opportunity to know and enjoy. Excellent!
Morocco
The support team is very responsive and provides assistance. The hosts are trustworthy, and there are so many options.
Argentina
It allows you to travel economically, really get to know the culture of the place and most importantly: meet wonderful and different people, which allows you to open up and evolve in many ways!!
Costa Rica
It is an excellent platform! Volunteering is a unique experience that every person should live at some point in their life.
Brazil
Worldpackers has helped me a lot since I left home and decided to go backpacking, without this platform I don't know if I would have been able to get this far and have had all the experiences I have had <3

Confirm your trips and make a formal agreement with your host including dates, activities, hours, and benefits.
If anything doesn’t go as you agreed to on our site, our team can help you to find a new host or reimburse you for accommodation in a hostel. Learn more.

Absolutely not. You won’t be charged anything else at all during the time you use Worldpackers, no matter how many applications you send out, the number of trips you take, or how much content you consume
Some specific hosts request an extra collaboration fee to contribute to their institution/NGO, or to help with costs to make your experience even more rewarding. Make sure to discuss this kind of information with your host before confirming your trip. Learn more.
Don’t worry. We’ll never renew your plan automatically, so you’ll only be charged one time. We’ll reach out to you when your plan is about to expire, and the decision to renew it or not is entirely up to you :)
The Couples/Friends plans were designed especially for those who want to volunteer together with a travel companion. Only one of you needs to pay, and then you can invite your companion. You will then both be able to apply to and confirm trips together during the full validity of your plan. In other words, you will not be able to apply individually.
You can see more details about the Couples/Friends plans here and find all of our open positions which accept multiple travelers here.
We work hard to make sure our community hosts are always responsive. However, they do receive a lot of applications, and they need to pick volunteers that are the best fit for their projects.
So to increase your chances of being accepted, make your profile nice and complete, earn certificates in our Academy, and apply to multiple hosts that you can identify with.
And of course, our support team can also help you to find new volunteer opportunities and give you more tips to increase your chances.
Our refund policy follows the same rules as our Worldpackers Trips cancelation policy. Click here to see all of the terms and conditions for our refund process.
