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
wow, Thank you for sharing this video. I'm also Chinese too. I'm 33 years old now. I want to travel and be a volunteer go to Europe countries. But the visa is the big problem. Could you share more details about how to apply for the VISA? Thank you so much.
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!
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
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?
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
Do you have to speak the native language of the country if you are doing hostile work while volunteering? Like I want to do volunteering in Vietnam or Thailand, but I only know how to say Hello, Thank you, and Please.
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
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 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?
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
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!
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
Seemed good until you realize what it is: work exchange, upfront fess, etc. Good option if you want to sustain that lifestyle, but definitely not for everybody. Couchsurfing's still superior.
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?
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
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
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!!
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
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

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

@@lillyloulijiaim 19 and im in college and this is the only thing that i crave
On foenem chicago Chirac is what u need on foenem
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!!
I love this it was sooooo helpful thank you
I'm so glad!! Let me know where you decide on going :)
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
they just try to replicate theirs fears into yours, dont allow it
So helpful thank you!
Thanks
Bella❤
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
great video. With destination did you visit with world packers
Serbia, Albania, South Korea and Japan!
@@lillyloulijia do you have the contact. details on WhatsApp for the instructors.
My dreams is traveling world wish that came true soon
i wish the same for u
That hostal is belgrade is the best , stay there my first time in europe
Do you have to speak the native language of the country if you are doing hostile work while volunteering?
Like I want to do volunteering in Vietnam or Thailand, but I only know how to say Hello, Thank you, and Please.
That’s okay! There’s plenty of language cafe opportunities available so you could apply for those if you speak fluent English!
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
I'm also always the youngest LOL, I understand you perfectly.
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!
Do we have to pay for our plane tickets or they pay for it 😅
we have to pay!
I just joined world packers and I can't figure out how to connect to the host can you help me i paid 100$ i want to travel asia
make sure your opening messaging is engaging!
thank you for this !!
Gratitudes!
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
@@lillyloulijiawhat is a “good amount” if you don’t mind sharing 😅 for example if you were to travel to rural Italia
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
@@enzokrug6635 Maaaaybe that you are just travelling? Because you have a travel visa. So you are travelling. Problem solved.
Is 1 week viable (im not looking to earn) just an experience
wait so it’s not free travel tho? u have to pay to get there ?
yes, you have to pay for your own flights. there’s nothing truly free in this world lol, thus the quotation marks
yeah ik. i was just confused lol
Hello, how can I join and volunteer and help you in this good work that you are doing?
watch the video haha
Do you need to pay in world pecker ?bc they’re charging amount
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
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
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…

glad u found it helpful!
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
was very interesting!!
im glad to hear :)
@@lillyloulijiaDid you travel alone? If so, do you think the experience is less fun that way?
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 :)
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
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
Seemed good until you realize what it is: work exchange, upfront fess, etc. Good option if you want to sustain that lifestyle, but definitely not for everybody.
Couchsurfing's still superior.
Definitely got its pros and cons. But it’s something to consider if you’re okay with the work and if you want to budget travel
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
Nice
which hostel did u stay in in tirana?
golden rooster
do they also allow pet
dogs ?
u have to check with the host on that!
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 :)
That's rare, and if, it is specified in the relevant profile.
Love the video! I was wondring what the usual age range is?
the volunteers ive met ranged from 18 to 35!
@@lillyloulijia Great thanks !

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
Can you tell me how to find host provide visa air ticket
they wouldn’t. it’s a volunteering opportunity
this was helpful 🤍 gotta try one day!
what sort of things do you suggest packing?
Hello beautiful❤ Do you know if its prossible to take my cats in a house with one volunteer or alone?
Ok so you DID pay for your plane ticket?
Yes
yes obv 😭😭 it’s a volunteering trip, not a paid vacation lol
