Europe, Egypt & Turkey

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Europe spans 44 countries across a vast continent, offering everything from the sun-soaked beaches of the Mediterranean to the fjords of Scandinavia, with world-class cities like Paris, Rome, and Barcelona drawing travellers for their history, art, and nightlife. Egypt, anchored by the Nile River, is home to some of the world's most iconic ancient monuments — including the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and the temples of Luxor — alongside vibrant modern cities and Red Sea diving hotspots like Sharm el-Sheikh and Dahab. Turkey bridges two continents, blending Ottoman architecture, bazaars, and the iconic skyline of Istanbul with natural wonders like Cappadocia's fairy chimneys and the turquoise coastline of the Aegean and Mediterranean. Together, these destinations attract independent and group travellers seeking a rich mix of ancient history, diverse cultures, adventure, and coastal escapes.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Europe, Egypt & Turkey yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
