GBThe OOO Club has the key ingredients for travel! The OOO Club has thought of all the key ingredients for making a trip special: creating a community of like-minded wanderlusters, creating experiences that are better enjoyed with a group, adding special details and moments, including a local specialist that just makes the trip memorable and less touristy. I enjoy solo travel, but it has its downsides; cost prohibitive, it can be lonely at times and there are some experiences that either just can’t be done solo or not ideal without company. The OOO club is kind of like the best of both worlds. They offer the autonomy and independence to do things on your own, but the benefits or opportunity to do some things as a group. They also do the heavy lifting on research, lists of things to do, finding accommodations in the cutest apartments, planning experiences. The club brings together a great group of people so if you connect with a fellow OOO-er, you can make rogue plans with them. Overall, the club, for me, is the perfect way to travel and I love the vibe and community they are creating. So warm and adventurous!

GBAmazing Experience! I like visiting new places and meeting new people, so naturally I was curious when I heard about The Out of Office Club (OOO). I saw they had a trip planned for Croatia, which was on my bucket-list, and decided to give them a shot. All I can say about this club is, if all you’re looking for is going out and partying for a week or just a tour guide and nothing more, then this club is probably not for you. Yes, they encompass both aspects of night life and a guide across the country but The “OOO” is so much more than that! They plan a few big events on the trip (so not to overwhelm you), and several optional excursions based on your individual preferences. They make sure you are also immersed in the local culture and customs, and not just spending time visiting only the touristy areas. Our first night began with an informational meeting in Split where we were introduced to other like minded travelers from around the world in the group. We got an itinerary for the trip and got a chance to network with several fellow travelers. We also had a group chat, so on our “free” days where there wasn’t anything formally planned, we could plan something individually and have others join if they wanted. This allowed for flexibility to truly customize the trip your way and not get lost in just what’s planned in the itinerary, which I personally thought was a nice touch. After several days full of exploring/hiking/experiencing nightlife/museums/shopping/and just laying out on the beach the “OOO” had a farewell event that truly made it feel like we were saying bye to life long friends we hadn’t even known a week before. It was bitter sweet to bond with such an amazing group only to say bye at the end. On the bright side the “good bye” was only temporary. The group chat has still been active, and we all are already planning next trips and planning virtual happy hours. So when COVID-19 passes you better believe I will sign up again to say “hello” to next cool group of people on some far away land!
