Going abroad is supposed to be the best semester of your life — but actually figuring out where to go, what to book, and who to trust? That part gets overwhelming fast.
That’s exactly why FlexTrip exists. We built the site to give you one place where you can plan your entire abroad experience — without spending hours scrolling Google, texting random people for recs, or overpaying some travel company to do it for you.
Here’s how to use FlexTrip to make abroad planning way easier:
FlexTrip starts with where you’re actually going.
- 55+ destinations across Europe, Asia, Australia, and more
- Built specifically for weekend trips for Europe and week long trips for Asia and Australia — because that’s how abroad students travel
- Every destination is loaded with thousands of past student recommendations — not random Google lists
You simply click into any destination and everything you need to plan that trip is right there.
No “top 50 Google list” nonsense. Every destination page includes:
-The best restaurants abroad students have actually gone to
-Menus, Instagram links, and Google Maps pins
-Easy to figure out reservations or walk-ins
Whether it’s a boujee dinner or a quick local spot, it’s already vetted.
You’ll find:
- Hotels, hostels, and Airbnbs that are in the right locations for abroad students
- Safe neighborhoods close to nightlife, restaurants, and activities
- Options that work for groups of different sizes and budgets
No endless Airbnb searches. We cut it down to what works best.
We give you:
- The clubs, bars, promoters and contacts students actually use
- Which nights to go where
- Local connects where applicable to help get tables or avoid lines
No more texting 10 people asking “what’s good on Thursday in Barcelona.”
Here’s where things get next level:
- Every destination’s activities are fully vetted by us
- We’ve partnered with thousands of companies for boat days, ATV tours, wine tastings, canal cruises, safaris, skydiving, you name it
- You’re booking directly with the best companies at their price — no FlexTrip markups
- If it’s on the site, it’s already trusted, and popular with abroad students.
Basically: we already did the work of sorting out what’s worth it.
Booking through FlexTrip is super simple:
- For most activities, you click the link → it takes you directly to the company’s site → you book exactly like you would if you found them on your own.
- The price is the same as if you booked directly — no extra FlexTrip fees.
- We earn commissions from the companies when you book through us — but you don’t pay anything extra.
This keeps everything free for you while still getting the best options.
Some trips require more hands-on help — that’s where the Help Me Book or Let Us Book buttons come in.
- This is for more custom things like private boats, tables, larger group bookings, or certain packages where we can often get better deals.
- You fill out the form → our team works directly with the companies → we handle booking and payments on your behalf.
If you need a quick answer while planning, we’ve also got FlexGPT built in:
- Ask basic questions
- Get destination recs based
- Figure out where to start based on your abroad dates & vibe
It’s like having a personal abroad assistant 24/7 while you plan.
Abroad planning is way more fun when you don’t waste hours figuring it out.
FlexTrip was built to give you one place to plan, book, and organize your entire semester — using trusted companies, actual student feedback, and partnerships we’ve built over years.You still plan your own trips — we just make sure you’re using the best options while you do it.
