I love the concept and am really considering it, but not making money is concerning to me. I don’t have passive income, so going somewhere for sometime spending money but never making it scares me
@@smd5980 great answer but you have to get plenty of views and comments before you can’t start earning money off those platforms. If you’re just starting, you won’t be able to get money anytime soon
I legit just downloaded and signed up for WorldPackers yesterday. I applied and got accepted for a party hostel volunteer opportunity for 6 weeks in Cancun Mexico
Is there any place away from worldly affairs where there is an atmosphere of peace, where there are mountains, greenery all around, flowing waterfalls, where the heart gets peace, where introspection can be done, where there is solitude, where one can do yoga, where one can experience heaven, where one can work as a volunteer? You can stay for as many days as you want, where you can live without money, where you can stay away from depression. If there is such a place, then I want to go there for some time or for the whole life. I want to stay away from the noise of the world. Is there anyone there? such a place
first of all, loved the video and you seem to be such a fun person to be around, wish i couldve volunteered with you XD my question is, do you suggest getting a premium membership early and talk to hosts like months before you want to travel or is it possible to volunteer last minute?
aw thank you, that’s so sweet!! i would suggest a good balance between the two - two weeks to a month’s time in advance. because sometimes, the situation of the host is also unpredictable and they might end up cancelling or vise versa. if you want to go on a spontaneous trip then, there are definitely hosts that are open to volunteers to start asap as well!
i've always wanted to do this but everyone is so skeptical, telling me it's unsafe, did you get this from family members to and how can you make them more at ease?
So i cant tell, if you want to travel specifically to work and tour, can you worldpacker to an employer and make a decent wage or do you have to have money laying around
does anyone know anything like this but for younger people? I really wanted to do the world packers experience but I just recently realized that you have to be atleast 18 to apply :/ I’m currently 16 and in my last year of highschool. I will turn 17 during my travels though
Hi thanks for the video i have a question, how long before the travel should i apply? Is it for example possible that i apply one month before and still get an answer? or is it too late?
yes and no. they do a background check on all the hosts before putting them on the platform to ensure you’re not getting into shady places, but whatever happens to you within the country is not really up to them
hey, i‘m from germany and want to travel around europe just like you did. But i’m scared that I won‘t get answers on my applications or there are too many other competitors, so I pay the 49$ without getting a job… Is this really a big deal or a problem with worldpackers?
I had the same concern and I ended up paying: two days later I had my trip secured. It’s all about not getting stuck on a specific host you really like, write to a lot of them that seem cool and you’ll find one for sure!
i liked the experience in Serbia a lot mostly because the people i was volunteering with all shared the same sense of humor with me, and i loved Belgrade’s bars and coffee shops. Tirana’s experience for me was slightly more dull but that’s also because I didn’t do a lot of exploring during the weekends and the people I volunteered with didn’t all speak English
Hi dear friend I recently got acquainted with this program The only cost that is necessary is to pay an amount for the reservation at the beginning of the work, right? Does it cost anything anymore?
id suggest to have at least a good amount of money with you before you apply for a position. now that amount can change depending on which city/ country you’re headed to
they do not, because it is an volunteering program after all. however, you can have a look at “workaway” which has a similar concept but you can also earn!!
Sometimes I wonder if people who do this have no job and/or a lot of time and money. I'd love to try it myself, and I do have a remote job (within the US only I think). When you work at these places, do you have that 9-5 time slot open to work on your stuff and do stuff for them after? Then again, that concept leaves one with no time for a personal life and be able to enjoy the area. But on the pro-side, they take care of your housing. It almost sounds like volunteer slavery for a place to stay, lol.
I signed up with worldpackers and got a 1 month volunteer job at a party hostel in Cancun Mexico. My job description is “Tour Guide/ Party Planner” that doesnt sound like slavery to me, sounds like fun
I signed up yesterday and got the job today, im shocked at how fast i got a volunteer opportunity and how cool of a destination i got accepted for. It was super high demand
Sorry I got intertested in this topic and I searched for reviews and she literally said I VOLUNTEERED IN BALKANS, which is where I am from hahhahahahahha
For free? But worldpackers charge fees for the membership is not free. And the worst part is must to work for the host for free. The volunteering is not vacations
yeah that’s the point of volunteering. the literal meaning translates to you putting out your work without expecting things in return, the hosts are just nice that they provide accommodation to help you out

@@smd5980 yeah good luck with that
I think I’ll start with doing a 2 week trip
this is why you budget and save your money.

there’s so many places as such. there’s a few in Turkey that fits your criteria actually
@@lillyloulijia thank you miss
thank you for this !!
I'm also always the youngest LOL, I understand you perfectly.

thank you!!! ive been looking into world packers and im so excited yet nervous
You’re going to have loads of fun, but make sure to read the host reviews so you get the best experience!!
Thanks
Bella❤
You did great! It’s the always looking homeless for me lol
That hostal is belgrade is the best , stay there my first time in europe
Would you recommend this for someone with a full time job who would only do this maybe a few weeks out of a year? ☺
absolutely!! there are lots of opportunities that only require 2 - 4 weeks of your input!
i've always wanted to do this but everyone is so skeptical, telling me it's unsafe, did you get this from family members to and how can you make them more at ease?
How can you really trust?
When some say it is safe and some say no
My dreams is traveling world wish that came true soon
i wish the same for u
thanks a lot
glad u found it helpful!
Nice
So i cant tell, if you want to travel specifically to work and tour, can you worldpacker to an employer and make a decent wage or do you have to have money laying around
u need to have money by ur side. it’s a volunteering opportunity, not a job
🙏🏻🌷🌷
what sort of things do you suggest packing?
does anyone know anything like this but for younger people?
I really wanted to do the world packers experience but I just recently realized that you have to be atleast 18 to apply :/
I’m currently 16 and in my last year of highschool. I will turn 17 during my travels though
u can try babysitting or looking after pets in ur local region!! a lot of places provide accommodation and meals too
Hi
thanks for the video
i have a question, how long before the travel should i apply? Is it for example possible that i apply one month before and still get an answer? or is it too late?
yes, one month is just fine! usually 1.5 - 2 months is ideal, and sometimes host might also change your arrival time to their requirement too
Is it a reliable platform? Do they look after your safety and security in a foreign country?
yes and no. they do a background check on all the hosts before putting them on the platform to ensure you’re not getting into shady places, but whatever happens to you within the country is not really up to them
hey, i‘m from germany and want to travel around europe just like you did. But i’m scared that I won‘t get answers on my applications or there are too many other competitors, so I pay the 49$ without getting a job…

Hello, how can I join and volunteer and help you in this good work that you are doing?
watch the video haha
How long ago you waited for that day to come?
this was helpful 🤍 gotta try one day!
how did u find ur experiences? can u make reviews of them?
i liked the experience in Serbia a lot mostly because the people i was volunteering with all shared the same sense of humor with me, and i loved Belgrade’s bars and coffee shops. Tirana’s experience for me was slightly more dull but that’s also because I didn’t do a lot of exploring during the weekends and the people I volunteered with didn’t all speak English
Hi dear friend
I recently got acquainted with this program
The only cost that is necessary is to pay an amount for the reservation at the beginning of the work, right?
Does it cost anything anymore?
you have to pay the membership fee, and obviously all your own travel expenses. depending on the host, you’ll need some money for your food as well
how much money did you have saved up before volunteering?
id suggest to have at least a good amount of money with you before you apply for a position. now that amount can change depending on which city/ country you’re headed to
Hi! 你好，非常感谢这个视频，它很有帮助。我想请问一下这个Worldpacker是需要交会员费才可以在上面申请到打工换宿的吗？谢谢你。
是的！一次性付款，可以用一年
@@lillyloulijia 之前看到好像是20美金，145人民币一年这样子，不知道有没有涨价
What do you say when u get in the country? Because they could think you came to be ilegal
for holidays lol. bc u are essentially on a trip, ur not getting paid
im a high school graduate, i want to volunteer at worldpackers, can I apply tho?
You have to be 18 to apply. (I believe that’s the only requirement) :)
@@keeshad6075 ahh thank u so much💗 soo i can coz im 19 rn :)
Can you tell me how to find host provide visa air ticket
they wouldn’t. it’s a volunteering opportunity
was very interesting!!
im glad to hear :)
@@lillyloulijiaDid you travel alone? If so, do you think the experience is less fun that way?
Does any of them pay for the plane tickets ?
hi, I don´t think so.
No you have to pay for all kind of your transportation
@@bobbychan3750did you try it
Wow amazing sister ....do they accept Africans pliz
Wht abt flight tickets
that’s on you buddy. as i mentioned in the video, at the end of the day, it IS a volunteering experience. you shouldn’t expect all expenses covered
Love the video! I was wondring what the usual age range is?
the volunteers ive met ranged from 18 to 35!
@@lillyloulijia Great thanks !
is there an age limit for this type of volunteer work? i am 37
not at all!! most hosts are open with the age range as long as you can work hard :)
Is the visa a tourist visa or work visa?
tourist visa!! and avoid telling the customs about your volunteering program to prevent any complications!!
@@lillyloulijiawhy? Then what should we say?
@@lillyloulijiawhat do you say then?
@@enzokrug6635 that you are for holidays there
do they also allow pet
dogs ?
u have to check with the host on that!
which hostel did u stay in in tirana?
golden rooster
Do they pay for us
they do not, because it is an volunteering program after all. however, you can have a look at “workaway” which has a similar concept but you can also earn!!

I think the maximum hours per week is like 20 hours though ? And it's so much more enjoyable when you're in another country

Do you have the promo code for signup discount?
Ok so you DID pay for your plane ticket?
Yes
yes obv 😭😭 it’s a volunteering trip, not a paid vacation lol

yeah that’s the point of volunteering. the literal meaning translates to you putting out your work without expecting things in return, the hosts are just nice that they provide accommodation to help you out
why did you put traveling for free when it's not the only thing that's free is your living area
Because it is you just to dumb to understand you gotta pay your own transportation 💀 and they give you a room and food..,
thank u, u get me!!
i literally mentioned all details in the video
Her dressing sense 😶🌫️😶🌫️
She looks cute I love her outfit
Wow amazing sister ....do they accept Africans pliz
it’s open to everyone
