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.
