About SeekPTO:

SeekPTO is for those who share our belief that experiencing the world shouldn't be gatekept.

Imagine discovering your passion for language in a homestay in Costa Rica, or building your career from a café in Barcelona. These aren't just daydreams: they're opportunities that should be accessible to everyone, not just a privileged few.

That's why our Founder, Gabby Beckford, created SeekPTO. To matchmake ambitious young people from overlooked communities with travel grants, remote work opportunities, and mentorship to help them turn "I wish I could" into "I'm on my way."

We're swapping out your vision board for an action board—from funding your first passport to building a location-independent career, we're your bridge between dreaming and doing. Because life-changing travel experiences shouldn't depend on your background. They should depend on your courage to take the first step.

SeekPTO is much more than just a database:

Vetted PTOs

Our team hand-picks verified PTOs to guarantee only legitimate, fun, and high-quality travel opportunities (in other words: no scams or spam, ever).

Accountability Tools

Never miss a PTO application deadline with our toggle-on notifications and calendar reminders.

Community

Connect with fellow travelers and swap experiences (side effects might include locking in an accountability buddy, or finding a future travel buddy!) 

Advanced Filters

PTOs tailored to your location, nationality, phase of life, destination goals and more—bringing the best travel opportunities straight to you.

Whether you're a student on a shoe-string budget, a post-grad seeking for an adventure, or a 9-5er looking to build a location-independent lifestyle, there's a PTO just for you.
