    Asked on January 25th, 2026

    Do you find a roommate for me? If my roommate decides to cancel, would I then have to pay single room?

    Group size
    Single supplement
    • GIVE VolunteersOperator•Written January 2026

      There's no additional cost if your roommate decides to cancel. If you're traveling with a friend or family member, you can share a room with them. If you're traveling solo, we will place you with a same gender roommate upon arrival.

      Alicia

      Traveler•Written January 2026

      Is round trip air line included

    • GIVE VolunteersOperator•Written January 2026

      Because we have participants traveling from all over the world, and flight prices can vary so much depending on when you travel/your proximity to where you're traveling to, we are unable to include the cost of flights in our trip cost. But with that said, we partner with dedicated flight agents to help arrange the best flight options to our locations. After your spot is reserved and you've set up your profile, we can help get you started on giving you a quote on the available itineraries that other travelers are getting booked on, we can provide the exact parameters of when you need to arrive and depart for guided airport transfers.
