Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Plus worldpackers all exist and you can volunteer for free stays lol
  • As for safety I surprisingly felt safer doing the volunteer exchange rather than just being a guest at a hostel/hotel. I guess it’s because I felt like I could ask the host for help or other volunteers if I needed it. :)
  • Check out workaway and worldpackers, just lie about your age when signing up. You can also volunteer directly at many places.
  • It’s really good. I’ve had some great experiences and saved money whilst travelling. There’s loads of variety and most hosts are super welcoming.

Cons

  • I’ve downloaded Worldpackers and i have a membership and im currently learning more but I’m not too sure about that either.
  • In the city there were more guests so I spent more time cleaning, so it was bit more tiring for me, but also there were more things to do in the area. In the small town areas I had to do less cleaning (since there were less guests) and m...
  • I wanna say that I did also spend some more time to rest/nap after the shift, so realistically I had more energy in the evenings and my days off to go out.

In the city there were more guests so I spent more time cleaning, so it was bit more tiring for me, but also there were more things to do in the area. In the small town areas I had to do less cleaning (since there were less guests) and more free time, but I also got bored more often. It could be good though if you like peace and quiet haha.
