We Screwed the 9-to-5
Born from a One-Way Ticket
Screw9to5 started when our founder booked a one-way ticket to Southeast Asia with $1,450 AUD in savings and zero plan. What followed was three months of shared tables, sunrise hikes with strangers, and the kind of freedom that a stable salary never provided.
When he came back, everyone asked the same question: “How do I do that?” The answer became Screw9to5 — structured enough to be safe, wild enough to be real.
“Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.”

Why Screw9to5?
100% Solo Travellers
Every single person on our trips is travelling alone. No couples, no families — just a handpicked group of independent adventurers.
No Single Supplement
We refuse to penalise you for travelling solo. Our prices are per person. Full stop. No hidden single-room surcharges.
Curated, Not Packaged
Every itinerary is designed to push you outside your comfort zone. We stay in real neighbourhoods, eat where locals eat, and avoid all tourist traps.
Intimate Group Sizes
We travel in small groups. Close enough to connect, flexible enough to explore.
