Traveling as a volunteer
If you're here, you're interested in traveling and living transformative and safe experiences, collaborating with verified hosts from our community, and creating a positive impact in the world, right?
Worldpackers is a collaborative community that connects travelers and hosts from around the world, offering personal and professional development through courses, interactions on the platform, and the exchange of skills for accommodation on amazing trips.
More than one million travelers and hosts from 190 countries are part of our community! And as a member, you can contact hosts and travel safely as many times as you want.
Are you unsure if this is the type of experience for you? Take a look at our article How Worldpackers Works, our Worldpackers Traveler's Guide.

Differences between Worldpackers and other platforms
→ Travel with peace of mind and security
WP Insurance:
We know that new experiences can generate a bit of fear and anxiety. That's why for each trip taken, if for any reason the host doesn't comply with what was agreed upon on the platform, we'll help you find a new host to continue your travels and, if necessary, pay for nights in economy accommodations. Here you can see the Worldpackers Insurance Policies.
In addition, all of our hosts are individually verified and accompanied by our team to ensure engagement and good experiences.
We want the best for our travelers: we have exclusive content to help our volunteers develop and travel, amazing hosts, and the chance for each of you to have transformative and unique experiences.

→ WP Programs
In order to better serve our travelers, Worldpackers has redesigned the old Guru program and created new benefits for those who are part of the community. Throughout the traveler's journey, there are four badges that stand out on the profile, each one with different benefits.
- By becoming a member of the community, the traveler receives the Member badge and can apply for collaborative experiences with the platform's hosts.
- With the first positive review, the traveler becomes a Rated Traveler and has a 20% higher chance of being accepted by hosts, as well as receiving a 20% discount on membership renewal.
- By accumulating three positive experiences, the traveler becomes an Expert and has a 40% higher chance of being accepted by hosts. In addition, they receive a 50% discount on plan renewal and can generate a discount coupon that generates USD 10 for every new member who uses their promotional code.
- Upon reaching five positive experiences, the traveler becomes a Worldpackers Ambassador and has a 50% higher chance of being accepted by hosts. In addition, they can continue to generate discount coupons and receive the incredible benefit of renewing their membership for free! o/
It's important to note that all community members are entitled to these benefits and do not need to register to access them. Worldpackers is committed to helping travelers develop and travel more, and therefore offers these benefits throughout their journeys.
