A cool idea, but I think the business model is flawed. I would think about dropping the subscription. How many people can be free the same weekend several months in a row for more than a few months? Probably not very many who can also commit to £175 each month. Births, marriages, funerals and other social events will inevitably get in the way of even the most dedicated users.

Also, what I expected to see was an amazing trip that I could book, each month. So in a way a sort of groupon style deal. I think if you combined that with some sort of buddy up/social network aspect where you could meet and talk to the people going on the trip you'd be on to a winner.

Perhaps you could then have a cheaper membership that gave you a discount and entitled you to first dibs on available places etc.

Just my thoughts though from scanning the site quickly. So take all advice with caution! Good luck with it!

Thanks for the feedback jwblackwell. We wanted to give the element of surprise to trips. You can however pause or cancel the subscription any time so not a contract per-se. Like the idea you mention but is it that exciting if you know where you are going? Also, will you really end up booking that trip or do you need a bit of a push to go exploring ;)
