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.

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!

HORRIBLE host and experience HORRIBLE host and experience. The housing was filthy, over-full and afforded NO privacy. The work was chaotic and not at all as described. Clearly, Worldpackers doesn't vet their "opportunities" at all. You take your chances!!!

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.

waste of money waste of money. They will not show you any requirements the place has until you pay the membership. A lot of places discriminate against your sex or even age! If you're over 40, good luck! There are also people to say they host but, when you apply they offer you to pay $30 a night. There are only 3-4 hostels available in the entire Los Angeles and if you get a response from at least one. You'll be super lucky. Don't waste your money.
