You're being scammed
When you hire a trip with a “first world” agency, you pay for:
What the 1st world agency does
- Assists you in case of doubts
- Communicates your needs to the local agency
- Tries to maximize its own margin
What the local contact does
- Arranges food and accommodation
- Arranges the visa
- Finds transportation
- Checks safety on the ground
- Knows the hidden places
- Knows how to barter
Only verified information
We only work with information we have checked ourselves:
- Contacts of people we know. See ratings and rate.
- Know when to travel. Not every country is always dangerous.
- Last-minute information in our Discord group.
- Avoid being cheated. Confirm the price upfront.
- Visa application: a how-to, or done by the local agency.
- Recommendations of hidden places and cool activities.
- Find other adventurous travellers to explore the world with.
I love MWL. I have used and know some of the contacts and they are 100% reliable. I could not have made it into Haiti without it.

Hey, it's Arnau 👋
I have travelled to 69 countries and 4 unrecognised states, 27 of them with my family.
I have swum with humpbacks, been pointed at by a sniper, met a child soldier, dived 5 shipwrecks, spent a week surviving on an Indonesian island and slept in a 5-star hotel after getting in through the trunk of a car.
