Traveling with friends is a great way to enrich your trip!
You'll be going on the trip with someone who already gets your jokes, knows what you like to eat, and won't mind posing in your photos over and over and over again.
Getting placed on the same trip as a friend takes some coordinating and is not guaranteed. Follow these three steps below to improve your chances!
Choose Israel Outdoors
We can only place you on a trip with friends if they also register with Israel Outdoors as their Birthright Israel trip organizer. Make a plan with your friends to select "Tlalim-Israel Outdoors" in the Application!
Tag Your Friend Requests
If you have any travel companion requests, let us know in your Application. As part of that form, you can search for friends who also registered and tag them as travel buddy requests! If you don't see them listed, it means they probably didn’t sign up for Israel Outdoors – make sure they fix that!
Sync Your Trip Choices
In the Application, you’ll be able to view and rank all trips you are willing to join. Make sure that you and your friends rank the same exact trips in the same exact preference order. This will really help us help match you together on the same trip with your friends.
Travel with Mixed Age Friends
Trips are primarily divided into age 18-22 and 22-26 groupings. However, we know many people want to travel with friends in different age ranges. We are always happy to make exceptions. When selecting your trips, choose trip dates in the age range of your choice.
GOING SOLO?
No worries! Most Israel Outdoors travelers don't know who they'll be going with beforehand! That's part of the magic. This trip is an amazing opportunity to connect with interesting new people and forge new and lasting friendships with a diverse group of travelers.
