There are hundreds of destinations to choose from worldwide, and all you need to do is tell us a bit about you, pick your top 5 locations, deposit some money to help our cause and within 1-6 months you'll be on the road with your forever friends!

FAQ: How does this work? We match you up with your ideal friends who you will travel to 13 places with over the course of a year. Here at HQ we work very hard to make the correct matches and locations for your tastes.

How do you pay for it? We have been issued money by several governments around the world who encourage students to find themselves and their forever friends, and your deposits go towards making sure your trip runs smoothly. Donations are open to the public, and we put forward a lot of our own cash also!

Do I need a passport or visa? You will need an in-date passport. We will work very closely with you to ensure you have the correct documents and cards available, and if you don't have the required things to enter a country we can 90% guarantee to get them to you before the trip commences.

Will I need to have any injections? To enter certain countries, yes.

What age do I need to be? 18-21 when you apply.

Can I break the law? No. You must obey the laws of each country.

Will I be insured? Under our Travel Huggers' insurance policy, yes, but please read these terms and conditions before applying! (link provided)

Can I pull out? In the first month you can pull out, but if you pull out beyond that point you will be charged.

What will you provide for us? We will provide courses, check in points, work experience and your schedule along with tickets to get between countries and places to stay along your journey.

How much luggage should I bring? As much as you can take with you! We will not cover the loss of any valuables.

Can I request a new matched group? Within the first three days of assignment you can request a new group.

Reviews: 'I was so alone until I did a Travel Huggers course. I met my besties and now I'm myself again!' (Alice, 23)

'Great on CV.' (Dude, 19)

'So many of my students loved it! So happy for them! In my time, nothing like this was around. We didn't even have social media!' (Karen, 67)

LOU applied for Travel Huggers with tears in her eyes, furiously tying on her keyboard, desperate to get away from her home town and to live a little. Then she closed the lid of her laptop and forgot all about it, until five months later when her mum saw her emails and suddenly she was forced to go through with it. Her gap year was finally turning into the life she'd been too scared to live, and who better to enjoy that with than a bunch of strangers, right?

Hi, and welcome to my latest apply fic! I hoped you enjoyed that ad at the beginning, just imagine the Wattpad staff wrote it. I'm super excited for this because for once I have all of the locations planned out and I know how the plot's going to go! Hopefully this has all made sense so far, but if it hasn't please feel free to ask any questions!

Basically, this is a travelling apply fic featuring lots of pretty places with a very contemporary vibe.

Characters can come from all over the world and can be any gender and sexuality! Preferably not too many American characters, I already stole England so y'all have to think outside the box.

Be kind or get kicked out, a shark attack can miraculously kill your character for lack of inactivity or rudeness, I'm not fussy.

The password is somewhere you want to travel to!

Comment your character's name then reply with the form under it. Put this where it says Apply Here.

Looking for about 5 characters but that can be made bigger or smaller depending on applicant amount!

Don't be offended if you aren't accepted, I'm trying to write a diverse, fun fic without any carbon copy characters. Pro tip if you want to be accepted: make your character original.

Have fun with it! Feel free to ask questions, you're allowed to apply 3 times!

NOTE: this is no longer open, and it's a new book as the old one was extremely glitchy and didn't let me upload any new parts.
