How to unleash your authentic self on your next trip

We LOVE bringing together people from all different backgrounds because that’s what makes the trip. The best bit about bringing together a group of travellers is that everyone is 🥳 unique 🥳.  

Trip full of epic, diverse people + ticking off unreal spots round the world = the perfect sitch for the best trip mems. 

If you’re thinking about doing a group trip but have some concerns around being your authentic self, we got you covered. 

Any of the below sound familiar? 

Mental health worries 🧠 

Anxiety about meeting people? 

Worried about who you’ll be rooming with?  

We know the drillllll. Lots of people have similar worries and we get questions pre-trip allllll the time about this. You’re not alone! 

Lean on our awesome Trip Leaders for help and support with:  

👉 Space for relaxation 

👉 Tips to create a balanced trip schedule 

👉 Different emotional needs you may have  

We’re big on mental health + creating a supportive environment for everyone. If you need specific support like: 

• clearer communication
• anxiety help
• some mindfulness moments in your day…. We’ve got your back.  

We’re here to make your life that much easier… so you can sit back and simply enjoy your travels. 

Whether you’re anxious, neurodiverse or just need some extra TLC, we’re here for you. 🫶 

Diversity and Representation 🌈 

Worried your culture, sexual preference or gender identity will cramp your travel style? Let us stop you right there – NO WAYYYY 🛑. 

We’ve got a 0-tolerance policy for anything that isn’t inclusive. Racism, homophobia, transphobia? We don’t have time for that – and neither do you. If anyone’s not vibing with good energy, we will politely show them the door. Scrap that. It won’t be politely. ✌️ 

At Topdeck, we also now offer a Gender X booking option. YUP. That’s right, we’re the first (and ONLY) youth group travel company to currently offer this for 18-30 somethings. It’s 2025 – why would we force people into same-sex rooms? Soooo restrictive. It’s time to let people be their authentic selves pls and thank you🙏 . 

Iykyk but if you missed it, check out this new option because this is BIG.  

Travelling as your authentic self 🙌 

Now let’s talk about being you. No filters, no pretending – just the real you. 🫶 

We want you to feel FREE to express yourself however you want. Whether you’re into self-care, deep convos, or being your quirky self, we’ve got the space for it. Our Trip Leaders place your health, safety and wellbeing at the forefront of every life-changing Topdeck experience🌟 

Our mantra? #FeelReal – We’re all about REAL people, REALconnections, and a REAL good time. Think: 

• REAL people: Bring the vibes, your quirks, and everything that makes you YOU.
• REAL connections: No fake energy here. Just people coming together to explore, connect, and get inspired. 

We KNOW that stepping into a new experience can feel a bit much at first. But trust us, we’ve got a community that’s ready to support you. Whatever you’re overthinking, we’ve got your back – you’re not in this alone 🤝.
