Friend's policy note:

We think it is great if people apply together as friends, because it helps you feel confident about the adventure that lies ahead and gives you someone to discuss packing and preparations with. However we cannot guarantee to place you with a friend on the same project, we will try to help where possible.

Please note,

•In the past, we have found that placing friends together might create cliques where some people were left feeling left out. Imagine if you were the lone participant on a project where 3 of 4 other participants were good friends in advance..

•​We also find that the self-development opportunity can be far far richer when you join alone, lone-travel is a courageous and very educational thing to do. We offer a great support and social network, so you will find that joining without friends is fine, and gives you a good compromise between pure lone travel and having people with you.

Most people join our programme independently of friends, and the feedback is usually that they got so much out of it because of the experience of joining a programme alone and making new friends there – reinventing oneself and exploring the world independently etc. We gear the programmes towards lone travellers, if you are a group of friends keen to travel together, I'd recommend that you choose the same region (in this case SE Asia) and then go to different projects, but meet up at the end for travelling together.

So, if you have exceptional reasons why you need to be placed with a friend, please let us know and we can consider it. Reasons might include past trauma that means you need an emotional support companion with you, or if you are in an established romantic relationship then we can also consider this too. Please let us know about that below. In many cases, we won't be able to place you with a friend but please tell us your reasons and we will do what we can.

Admin note:

•If you want to have a chance of being placed with someone, they need to have already filled this form OR do so within 24 hours of you doing so.

•If you don't include their username in the field below, then we won't know who they are. Please find out their username from them and fill it in below – we don't need their name, just username.

•Please tell us your exceptional reason for needing to be placed with a friend below too
