The Broke Backpacker Gives Back ❤️

Volunteering experiences can greatly enhance your travels. You often end up in situations where you'll learn a lot, and you actually get to make a difference! This is your chance to cut down costs whilst peeking behind the curtain to experience what it's like to live in a community different to what you're used to... Some of The Broke Backpacker team's most memorable travel tales come from volunteering trips. and we've shared it all in our new post:
Making a Difference 🤩One of the most common ways travellers end up engaging in this kind of experience is through volunteering in hostels. I mean, how would a broke backpacker say no to a free stay and free meals in exchange for a couple of hours checking people in?? But that's not all, Reader, you can also go deeper and teach in schools, work on marine conservation projects or help out in organic farms... The possibilities are endless when it comes to volunteering abroad.
The inspiration you NEED 🗺Ok, so there are a couple of steps one needs to take in order to get this started. The first is signing up through a volunteering platform like Worldpackers. Platforms like WP serve as aggregators and give you a range of offers to choose from, they vet the projects for you and make sure you're safe and sound wherever you go. And it costs but a mere $50 for a whole year of possibilities... We've obviously got a sexy discount code for you (cause we're just sexy like that) BUT that's not all. We managed to strike an exclusive deal for our most hardcore fans — which we're sharing this week on our new group chat :) We're talking $$$ off and membership extensions you won't get anywhere else on the internet! If that interests you, join other travellers in our "Broke but Backpacking" group chat, ask any Qs you may have and get in on the deals! PS - you might have to open that link on your phone 📞
