Itchy Feet: Travel and Backpacking

LSE's one and only Travel & Backpacking Society. We organise lots of weekend trips in Europe, holiday trips further abroad and awesome events in London with like minded travellers!

About Us

Craving new adventures and unforgettable experiences? So are we! Itchy Feet is an LSE society dedicated to helping you make the most of your time at university by exploring exciting places both near and far. No matter your age, degree, or background, we welcome anyone who wants to discover new destinations without the hassle of planning. We handle the logistics—timing, budgeting, and itineraries—so you can just enjoy the journey.

With London as our base, we’re lucky to have a world of exploration right on our doorstep, from local spots around the city to European getaways. Over our 10-year history, we’ve hosted trips ranging from scenic hikes across the UK to weekend escapes in European cities, and even adventurous excursions to places like India. This year, we’re bouncing back with a packed schedule of trips, socials, and collaborations.

What’s Coming Up This Year

We’re excited to announce an ambitious lineup of events for the year ahead! Here's a sneak peek of what we’ve got in store:

  • November 2 – Thorpe Park Fright Night
  • November 30 – Science Museum Trip with the Maths Society and Heritage Society
  • Mid-November – Potential UK Day/Weekend Trip
  • End of November/Early December – Winter Wonderland Trip
  • December 4 – Networking Event in collaboration with the 93% Club and Women in Politics
  • December 14-17/18 – Christmas Markets Trip in Europe

And that's not all! We’re also teaming up with a charity for two fundraising trips: a Skydive next term and an epic Machu Picchu trek in August. Alongside these, we’re planning potential weekly or biweekly socials—like our incredibly popular live Monopoly “Give it a Go” session (yes, it involved people jumping into bins!).

Membership and Costs

Membership for the year is £5, giving you access to all of our trips and events this term. While we organize the trips, you'll be responsible for the costs, such as flights, accommodation, and any extras. We typically book accommodation in groups to get the best rates and then share a payment link via Native. We’ll try to offer subsidies where possible to make the trips more affordable.

Join Us!

We’re looking forward to welcoming new members and making this year one of our best yet. Keep an eye on our social media for updates, and don’t hesitate to reach out to us via Instagram or Facebook for more info. Get ready for an adventure-packed year with Itchy Feet!
