What are Workaway Badges?

Workaway Badges are digital symbols of your accomplishments and experiences on the Workaway platform. They are designed to celebrate your journey as a traveller or host and showcase your growth along the way. If you're a seasoned globetrotter, or a first-time explorer, Workaway Badges provide a fun and engaging way to track your progress and share your story!
