Before you publish
Publishing a trip means you become the trip organiser
If you publish a departure, you are not just posting a listing. You are taking on the responsibility of leading that group and helping people get from “interested” to “on the trip.”
What you are responsible for
- • You are the trip organiser for that departure, and you own the itinerary and schedule — what happens each day, in what order, and any changes along the way.
- • You are responsible for making sure the trip runs smoothly from start to finish.
- • You set the group size limits and decide how many people the trip can take.
- • You host the introductory call with everyone joining the group.
- • You help keep the trip organised, clear, and welcoming for the crew.
- • Safety and security on the trip is a collective effort shared by the whole group, not something you alone are liable for.
- • You are not responsible for taking payment from the group — each traveller pays their own way directly for flights, accommodation, and activities.
The upside
- • You earn a commission from each person who joins, which can make your own trip much cheaper — and with enough sign-ups, your trip can be effectively free or heavily discounted.
- • You travel with people you've actually vetted yourself — not strangers on a bus — and there's a real chance some of them become genuine friends, not just trip mates.
- • Leading a trip is real, tangible experience in organising and managing a group — the kind of thing that stands out on a CV, long before most people your age get the chance to prove it.
- • The dream trip you've been putting off becomes affordable, at a fraction of what a tour operator would charge for the same route.
Sell it — this is your trip
A great departure needs more than a route and a date. Bring some passion and charisma to your description — explain why thistrip, why you're the one leading it, and what makes it the best version of this experience on the platform. You're attracting like-minded people, so make it specific to who you actually are: if you care more about hiking and nature than nightlife, say so and lean into it — the right people will be drawn to exactly that, and you'll end up with a group that actually gets along.
Important note
- • You’ll still need a paid membership to publish an active departure once you’re ready to set dates and invite people. All membership fees are non-refundable.
- • On top of membership, each departure you publish carries its own one-off publishing fee — so running several departures at once costs more than running just one.
- • If you cancel or step down, the other members already signed up will be given the option to become the new trip organiser.
- • We recommend taking an active role in promoting your trip — through friends, schools, colleges, and universities — to hit your minimum group size faster.
