Why Travel With Under30Experiences?


You have options. We know that. Here’s what actually makes us different.

Under30Experiences is a small-group travel company designed primarily for solo travelers ages 21–35. Founded in 2012, we operate curated trips in 30+ countries with a focus on intentional group dynamics, boutique accommodations, and long-term community.

We Design for Solo Travelers

More than 70% of our travelers join solo. Our trips are intentionally built so:

-Most people arrive solo
-No one feels like the outsider
-Social connection happens naturally

Small groups (most trips max at 16) mean you won’t get lost in the crowd but there’s still enough variety in the group to find your people. You show up alone but leave with friends.

Community Before, During & After Your Trip

Before your trip:

-Join your private WhatsApp group
-Meet other travelers ahead of time

During your trip:

-Trip Leaders foster an open, supportive environment
-No forced icebreakers and Trip Leaders are trained to make sure the group stays welcoming and balanced.

After your trip:

-You become part of our alumni network
-Access meetups, events, and thousands of past travelers

We’re not running tours; we’re building community.

Small, Thoughtful, Well-Run Trips

Founded in 2012. Small group trips in 30+ countries. 1,000+ five-star reviews. Our Trip Leaders are trained tourism professionals:

-First Aid & CPR certified
-Emergency protocols in place
-Real local connections

We obsess over the details so you don’t have to. All you have to do is get to the destination airport. We handle the rest.

Real Experiences (Not Big Box Tourism)

We don’t run 40–50 person tours. We don’t rush you from landmark to landmark.

We prioritize:

-Boutique accommodations
-Cultural immersion
-Time to actually enjoy the place
-Experiences designed with locals

Responsible Travel That Makes Sense

We avoid tourist traps and overcrowded experiences. We support locally owned businesses whenever possible.

We are not a voluntourism company but when we can responsibly support local initiatives, we do. Travel should leave a positive impact on you, and on the places you visit.

Clear Boundaries. Safe Environment.

Zero tolerance for bullying, harassment, or hate speech. Our Trip Leaders maintain an inclusive, respectful atmosphere so everyone can relax and enjoy the experience.

Travel should feel freeing, not stressful.

U30X is such an amazing travel community. Once your trip is over, the experience is not. They keep in touch with their alumni & provide platforms for travel questions, personal development, & community connections in your own backyard! If you're a young person looking to travel I highly recommend U30X!

There are not enough ways for me to describe how amazing this company is. After my first trip I always told people, it wasn't about the location, but the experience that u30x gave me. I have some of the best experiences of my life with u30x, and now a passion for travel. Also, their alumni community and groups are awesome too!

Traveling with U30X has been life changing for me. I've made lifelong friends with both travelers and staff. I can't come up with enough good things to say about the company, the people, and the experiences I've had!

Just returned from my second trip with Under30Experiences. My first trip was to the Costa Rica rainforest. My most recent trip was to Iceland. Both trips were such an amazing experience. I loved learning about Iceland and its origins. I enjoy the small groups and I made some great new friends! Recommend them for anyone wanting to travel alone or with a couple of friends.

I was so scared to travel abroad alone and then I came across their website and they made international travel so easy! And the people I’ve met on the trips are some amazing individuals! I’ve done 6 of their trips and plan on continuing to do even more!!

Just came back from their Egypt trip. Definitely one of my top favorite trips I’ve ever taken! I knew ahead of time that I would want to go with a tour to Egypt, and under30experiences seemed like the best fit. I met amazing fellow travelers and loved our guide Mohamed who did an amazing job! Our days were pretty packed while also having some time for rest. Expect to wake up early to beat the crowds and to overall enjoy your time at the sites! Definitely planning on doing another trip with Under30experiences in the future!
