London Travel Now - Manchester Chapter - Travel For Free*

## 🌍 London Travel Now — Manchester Chapter

Welcome to the Manchester Chapter of London Travel Now 👋
This is a relaxed, community-powered travel meetup for people who enjoy exploring, planning trips, sharing tips, and meeting fellow travelers.
London Travel Now is a multi-city travel community. Alongside in-person meetups, we also have our own community platform at:
👉 londontravelnow.com
where members can connect, plan trips together, and stay in touch between meetups.

✈️ Travel for Free* (yes, really)

We often get asked how this works, so here’s the simple version:
Trip organizers travel free on the trips they create and run.*
If you:

• plan the trip
• handle the bookings
• and bring the group together

your spot on the trip is covered.
* Free applies to the trip organizer once the trip reaches minimum participants and is confirmed. Contributors pay their own share.
You don’t need to be a travel agent — just organized, reliable, and excited about the trip.

☕ Where we meet

We keep things simple and accessible — easy, central cafés, pubs, or casual venues around London.
There’s no formal agenda and no presentations.
Just show up, grab a drink, and chat.
(Exact venue details will always be listed on the event page.)

🧭 How this meetup works (important)

This chapter is part of a community-led network.

• Meetups are community-powered and self-organized
• The main London Travel Now organizer may not attend every event
• Attendees are responsible for their own food, drinks, and arrangements
• There may or may not be a designated local host at each meetup

Think of this as a casual, drop-in social meetup, not a guided or hosted event.
If you’re comfortable introducing yourself, joining conversations, and helping things run smoothly, you’ll fit right in.

💬 WhatsApp group (recommended)

We also have a shared London Travel Now WhatsApp community, which includes spaces for different cities.

A Manchester space is available inside the group so members can:

• Coordinate meetups
• Ask questions
• Share travel ideas and plans
• Stay connected between events

Participation is optional, but it’s the easiest way to stay in the loop.

🗓️ What to expect

• Friendly, informal travel conversations
• Trip ideas, tips, and shared experiences
• Meet people you may want to travel with in the future
• A low-pressure, welcoming environment

This is a community meetup — not a tour, class, or sales event.

🙌 We’re looking for Chapter Organizers

As London Travel Now grows, we’re looking for local Chapter Organizers — including here in Manchester.
Chapter Organizers help:

• Host or co-host meetups (weekly or monthly)
• Choose simple, accessible venues
• Welcome attendees and help spark conversation
• Create and organize trips for the community

Trip organizers travel free on the trips they run.*
No prior experience required — just reliability and a friendly attitude.

New faces are always welcome.
Bring curiosity, a travel story, or just yourself.
This community works best when members help make it welcoming — we hope you’ll be part of it.
