Worldpackers is a platform that offers work exchanges around the world enabling travelers to have an entirely free or relatively inexpensive stay in a location.
While traveling around Southeast Asia, I found a Worldpackers opportunity in Vang Vieng, Laos. I spent two weeks working with the Sae Lao Project, an organization that brings free English classes to the local community.
Through this experience I was able to immerse myself in the local Lao culture, meet volunteers from all around the world, and use my skills to give back to the local community.
This is exactly what my experience was like with Worldpackers and the Sae Lao Project.
