WHERE DO WE GO?

  • Weekend trips as cheap as a night out to quickly add another country to your list and visit places within short reach from us which are often overlooked. Perfect for those who are looking for a unique study break, or don't want to commit to some other long haul trips. 
  • Longer getaways that let you properly experience a destination without needing to commit to a full long-haul adventure, giving you time to explore beyond the tourist hotspots, experience the culture and make the most of a well-earned break. Ideal for those who want something more substantial than a quick weekend trip.
  • Bucket-list destinations and unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Our long trips are designed for those ready to fully commit to the adventure: exploring Wonders of the World, diverse landscapes, and cultures far beyond Europe. Perfect for students who want to make the most of their time at uni, step out of their comfort zone, and create memories that last long after graduation.

SOCIALS

Our socials are basically where you meet the people you’ll end up booking flights with at 1am. It’s a mix of themed nights, chilled meet-ups, and fun events where you can get to know everyone before any big trips. No pressure, just good people, good vibes, and the start of a lot of group chats that turn into actual holidays. Including but not limited to:

  • Foreign language lessons 
  • Pub Socials 
  • Free movie screenings
  • Themed games nights
