Solo travel is lit. There’s no denying it.  

You face challenges head on. You learn a little bit more about yourself. And that confidence finna shine bright like a diamond 💎 

BUT what about tour groups for solo travelers? Safety in numbers. Built-in besties. People who are as H-Y-P-E-D to jump into adventure. And allll the in-between travel moments that are just better shared.  

(dw love birds and bffs are also welcome on our trips 💖) 

What are those in-between moments, you ask? Well, sharing is caring so 👇

New Year, same old sh*t? How ’bout New Year, New You?

Nah, we’re thinkin’ the REAL you finna shine like a bejewelled glitterball in 2023 ✨

So, what’s on the resolution list? Apart from epic group travel vibes…

Love is love and we’re allll about it at Topdeck. That’s why we wanna spotlight some of the LGBTQIA+ cities we hit on our tours (and specific gay towns that Hit. Different.) Ngl, not everywhere in the world accepts love with no limits, but these places are where it’s at. Want the tea? We’re bouta spill it.  

September 9th is National Wiener Schnitzel Day, so we’re here to bring some great wiener facts into your life.  

Thought chicken schnitz was the OG of schnitzels? Think again. 

Austria’s tradish wiener schnitzel started the game for us, so before we get started let’s take a moment to say cheers to Austrians for bringin schnitties into our lives. Prost! 🍻 

There are many reasons why people travel, each with their own idealistic scenarios in mind of what to expect and what they want out of their experience.

Is Britain on your hit-list? How bout Ireland? Luckily for you, we got the low-down. We know where to find the most delish fish and chips, the most lit Galway pub for a singalong and scenic islands you’ve probs never heard of (Aran Islands yes pls). Stay tuned for Trip Leader highlights from our recent Delve Deep: Britain & Ireland trip, the group’s fav mems and some #feelreal moments along the way (iykyk). 

New Zealand has been at the top of my never-ending bucket list, so you can imagine just how excited I was to go on this trip. My expectations were high, hearing from friends how there is nowhere like it, and marvelling at the beauty of the country seen through many images of my friends’ exploits.  

As much as I preach to fellow Topdeckers that we can sleep when we’re dead, or in reality just taking a nap on the coach journeys, I found that incredibly difficult this time round. To do so would be to miss out on the picturesque surroundings that you encounter around every road you drive on.  

Are you totally sick of seeing loved-up couples? Do you DREAD this annual date and find yourself crying into your pillow as you scroll through pic after pic of couples on Insta? If you’re ridin’ solo and trying to escape all the romantic bullsh*t today, we got you. 

Italy has it all.

Fashion – think Gucci, Prada, Armani, the list goes on. 

Cars – think the world’s most epic speedsters; Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini.

Art – Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, need we mention more?

But you can’t dish any of these things up on a plate (we tried – the Lambo fell off). The real sweet spot (and why we amore Italy the most) is the food. Mainly the PIZZA! Mamma mia the best pizza in the world comes from Italy and we’re gonna show you where to get it…

Think that dolmade with a side of hommus is just an innocent, based-on-a-whim choice? Think again. It speaks volumes about your psyche and who you are as a person. Sorry to say but your every decision carries the weight of being a window straight into your dolmade-loving soul. In a place like Turkey, there’s almost an endless amount of dish choices so at any meal of the day; welcome to the wonder that is mezze!

This shared-style of eating is the ultimate in holiday feasting; making friends, sharing travel stories and discovering new dishes together. But whether you know it or not, the plate you pick from the mezze platter, says more about you than you’re likely comfortable with. So you know exactly what you’re communicating to the world, we’ve peered deep into our Turkish coffee grounds to come up with this ‘highly accurate’ analysis of your personality traits based on the dishes you choose from a mezze platter.
