🌍 Celebramos 10 anos de #Worldpackers com um marco especial: nosso offsite de 2024! Juntos, refletimos sobre o impacto da nossa comunidade global: 6M de cadastros, 280k viagens realizadas e 6,4M de dias dedicados a experiências transformadoras em todo o mundo. Foi uma oportunidade incrível para fortalecer conexões, planejar o futuro e reafirmar nosso compromisso com viagens que mudam vidas. De projetos ecológicos a iniciativas sociais, o impacto gerado por nossa comunidade nos inspira a ir além. Em 2025, conectaremos ainda mais pessoas através de viagens transformadoras com novas iniciativas como as Epic Trips, certificações para voluntários e o programa Ecopackers. Seguimos acreditando que viajar transforma pessoas, e pessoas transformam o mundo!
In 2024, we celebrate 10 years of Worldpackers and milestones worth sharing with our entire community: 6M sign-ups, 100k subscribers, 7k active hosts, 280k trips, and 6.4M days of shared experiences worldwide. Women are leading this transformation, making up 66% of our travelers. Our commitment to creating a positive social and environmental impact is reflected in these results. We believe every shared experience and every hour dedicated to the projects within our network contributes to a more equitable, collaborative, and sustainable world where people can learn, teach, and transform their lives. This year alone, 3.8M hours were dedicated to ecological and social projects, with 46% of our hosts being nonprofits. These efforts supported initiatives such as beach clean-ups, permaculture, sustainable agriculture, environmental conservation, social inclusion, humanitarian aid, and more. Since 2021, we’ve organized 135 beach clean-ups, removed 2.6 tons of waste, and collected 206k cigarette butts through partnerships with brands like Havaianas. We also launched programs like the Ecopackers Program and supported youth scholarships through initiatives like PLT4way, democratizing travel and empowering future changemakers. Additionally, over 37k people completed the video lessons in our “Ecological Certification for Volunteers,” totaling 420k hours of learning about sustainable practices! In 2025, we’ll focus on further building and connecting our community. We’ll also expand our range of products and services, offering impactful travel options to a more diverse audience, like Epic Trips: curated travel packages combining meaningful volunteer experiences with the comfort and safety of planned trips. Exciting things are ahead! Even in a chaotic world, we remain steadfast in our belief that travel changes people, and people can change the world. Photo: WP Team Offsite 2024
