What are the Workawayer badges given for? How do I get a badge on my profile?

Badges are our way of rewarding members for certain achievements.

The 'explorer' badge is given to Workawayers who are the first to leave a feedback for a new host. There are also badges that show when a Workawayer has received a certain amount of 5 star feedback and for members that have verified their profile via Facebook.

The 'advocate' badge is earned by Workawayers who are taking initiative to help spread the Workaway word, and promote the value of cultural exchange and giving back while travelling.

The other badges available are for 'photographers' who have won a prize in our photo competition and for members who have featured as 'Workawayer of the month' on the Workaway blog.

You can see any badges that you currently have by viewing your profile as it appears online.
