The blank page problem
Generic trip apps assume you already know where you’re going. Gap-year companies sell you a £5,000 package. Offskies is the bit in between - the starting point.
Tell us your budget, months and vibe - get realistic routes with real costs, not someone else’s Instagram itinerary.
Visas, vaccinations, insurance, passport rules - pulled into one personalised checklist, each item linked to the official source.
A read-only share-link shows your parents the plan, the budget and the safety boxes ticked - reassurance without the group chat interrogation.
How it works
No pressure, no packages, no “please complete your itinerary.”
Budget, months free, interests, passport. Takes about two minutes - less time than your UCAS login took.
Costed route options plus your personal logistics checklist - visas, jabs, insurance, timelines. The hard part, done.
We link you to trusted booking partners for flights, hostels and cover. Your money never sits with us.

No - and that’s deliberate. We hand you to trusted partners (the same ones you’d find yourself, minus the twelve open tabs) and never hold your money. We’re the planner, not the travel agent.
