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.
Amalfi Coast, Italy · Italy
Amalfi Coast in a drop-top
I'm looking to explore one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world with a crew of like-minded people. October is my preferred window, and the plan is simple: rent a classic or just a stunning convertible, roll down the top, and take it all in. I want to mix a bit of luxury with real adventure — good vibes, great scenery, and the kind of fun-loving people who know how to make a road trip worth remembering. If that sounds like your kind of trip, let's make it happen.

Koh Tao Thailand · Thailand
Divemaster Course Koh Tao
I'm heading to Koh Tao to complete my Divemaster course with Roctopus Dive — and I'm looking for someone to share the experience with. Two months living on a tropical island, getting in the water every day, and walking away with a professional Divemaster qualification. The pace of life out there is hard to argue with, and doing it with good company makes it even better. Here's what's included in the course at 42,000 Thai Baht direct from Roctopus: - Introductory period - All Divemaster training workshops - Lifetime access to Divemaster course materials - Use of BCDs, regulators, and weight systems - Free Roctopus Pro T-Shirt and a Koh Tao Dive Site Guide - Unlimited diving for the full two months I've budgeted to cover the course cost and shared accommodation for the two-month duration. If living on a tropical island and coming out the other side as a certified Divemaster sounds like your kind of plan, let's do this together.
£2,000–£2,500 estimated per person
Unclaimed — be the leaderSydney, Australia · Australia
Work and Travel Australia
Companies like Gap 360 charge £579+ for a "working holiday kickstart" package — really just a week of hostel stays and group activities designed to ease the anxiety of landing in a new country alone. The truth is hostels in Sydney are full of people in exactly the same boat, and you'll make friends within days regardless. This Mission does the same thing at cost price: a crew of people landing in Sydney around the same time, splitting the same hostel, doing the same activities — minus the markup, plus the reassurance of already having a group lined up before you land. Pick a rough window you're planning to arrive, and we'll match you with others arriving around the same time. Once enough people are in, agree a date together and go.

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.
