Make a difference on your travels and join a volunteer project. It's the perfect way to add to your CV and improve your job prospects when you get back from abroad.

Student and Youth Travel FAQS
Do you offer student discounts?
We have a range of excellent discounted student and youth airfares on flights all over the world. These tickets are sometimes much cheaper than regular economy class flights. Or they come with loads of added extras, like fee-free changes and free stopovers. Great if you need flexibility for a longer trip or want to make the most of your adventure abroad.
Who will I be travelling with?
If you book a trip with KILROY, you'll be travelling with like-minded people aged 18-to-30-something. Many of our trips are specially designed for younger travellers with budget options to help keep costs down. You might be staying in a fun hostel and sharing a dorm. Or taking local transport to get from A to B as cheaply as possible.
But no matter the age range, there's a few things that unite all KILROY travellers - a thirst for adventure and the belief in the positive impact of travel.
I'm nervous about travelling - can I talk to an expert?
Of course you can! We know travelling abroad on a big trip can be scary. But that's why we're here - to make it as easy as possible. Our team of travel experts are young travellers like you, and are here to put together your dream trip while making sure all of the boring details and essentials are taken care of. You can pop into our store in Bristol. Or if you're based elsewhere, schedule an online video call or good old fashioned telephone call. Book with KILROY and we'll be with you every step of the way.
