Missions
Departures are structured group tours with a set start date. Missions are different — less a fixed itinerary, more a dream trip you finally make happen with people who want the same thing. Not a single activity, but an overall goal: live in Bali and work on yourself, do a dive course, learn Muay Thai, volunteer for a month — with newfound travel mates. Pick a date, or leave it open-dated and run it once enough people have joined. Free to publish — joining carries a seat fee.
Maybe you've had a dream adventure in mind for years, but you've never been able to rope your mates into it — travel is personal, and not everyone around you is as up for it as you are. The thing is, somewhere out there are exactly the kind of like-minded people who'd jump at the same idea. That's what a Mission is for: you put the goal out there, and the right people find you.
It's also where a crew gets you more for less — split the cost of a classic convertible to drive the Amalfi Coast, upgrade to nicer accommodation, do the thing you'd never justify solo. No more scrolling brochures hoping something clicks — this is mission control. Set the goal, and find your people to make it happen.

Mallorca DJ Meetup.
If music is your thing — whether you're behind the decks or just obsessed with the craft — this one's for you. I'm putting together a group of like-minded music lovers and DJs for a weekend meetup in Mallorca, and I want it to feel less like a formal event and more like a gathering of people who genuinely geek out over music together. We'll swap tips, share tricks, play sets, and push each other's skills forward in a relaxed, open environment. I've already got the venue locked down with all the equipment you need — just bring your USB and an open mind. No genre gatekeeping here; all styles are welcome. Dates are flexible, but I'm thinking sometime around October or November over a weekend, and we'll nail down a time that works for everyone. So — who's in?

Unclaimed — be the leaderBuñol, Spain · Spain
La Tomatina — Tomato Fight Festival
La Tomatina is the world's biggest food fight — held every year in the small town of Buñol, just outside Valencia. For one wild hour, the streets fill with over a hundred tonnes of squashed tomatoes as thousands of people pelt each other senseless, then everyone hoses off and the town parties into the night. Nobody's officially leading this one yet — we've published it because it's exactly the kind of trip that's better with a crew, even if nobody's sorted the details. Pile in, sort flights and a place to stay with whoever else joins, and see what happens. A leader might emerge from the group to nail down logistics, or it stays a glorious free-for-all. You've got to start somewhere.
