FAQS

Where does the trip start & Finish?

The trip begins in London and ends in Prague

Who decides who I'll share a room with?

We’ll pair you with a new roomie for each location to give you an opportunity to meet and connect with someone new. This ensures fairness and inclusivity for everyone attending. For accommodations like hostels, we may even pick names out of a hat to keep things fun and random!

Can I book with a friend?


While you’re welcome to book with a friend, we highly encourage you to truly book solo. Our goal is to help you step out of your comfort zone and meet new people, which is why we also don’t assign friends to the same room. This ensures fairness and creates a more open and inclusive environment for all participants. By booking solo, you’ll have the best opportunity to grow and connect with others on a deeper level.

Can I book with a family member like my mum or sister?

Our trips are specifically designed for solo travellers, so we don’t accept bookings with family members. This helps ensure everyone has the opportunity to step out of their comfort zone and experience personal growth through true solo travel. We believe that true authentic personal development is best achieved outside of familiarity of family connections.
