How to earn on your trip by carrying a parcel
Spare space in your backpack can pay for the taxi from the airport or dinner on the first night. Senders look for travelers all over the world — usually for documents or small items.
How it works
- Add your trip on Whoflies: route, dates, what you can take.
- Senders will message you. Or pick a request on your route — for example on popular destinations.
- Agree on the price and meeting point in Telegram.
The app is free and takes no fee — whatever you agree on is yours.
What to charge
You set the price. Consider size and weight, whether you need to travel to the meeting, and extra baggage fees.
Never
- Never take anything sealed. Not a ‘new iPhone in its box’, not ‘just a pack of rice’. Ask to open it and look yourself — you are the one at customs.
- Never take what you are unsure about. Declining is fine, even after a long chat.
- No prepayment either way — settle at the handover.
Check the destination’s import rules, for example in the IATA Travel Centre: IQOS is banned in Turkey, vapes in Thailand, many medicines in the UAE.
