What we’re about
This group is for people who don’t want to wait on their friends to finally say “yes” to get out there to meet new people and maybe see the world. Life is too short and the world is too big!
The events in this group are member-driven so if you’d like to host a Meetup in your area (i.e. brunch, go for a walk, see a movie, play pickleball, or any other activity), feel free to let me know and I'll help you get it set up in the group!
The trips in this group are usually 90% solo travelers but everyone is welcome, female/male, solo/couple/friends, straight/LGBTQIA+! So let’s travel together with fun, like-minded travelers! If you have an open mind and are kind to fellow travelers, you will fit in perfectly on these trips!
NOTE: The people on these trips are from all over the States but you’ll always be connected with people from the same city on a trip so you can meet up face to face and get to know your future travel buddies prior to the trip. You’ll also be connected to the whole group via email prior to the trip so you can virtually get to know those that are from different areas. On average, the people on each trip are 90% solo travelers but it’s hard to predict the exact demographic for each trip so please keep this in mind.
Feel free to join the Facebook group to connect with past travelers on these trips, see pictures, ask questions, funny travel memes, travel-related articles, etc.: https://www.facebook.com/groups/613025845523107
The trips in this group are put on by a tour company called Globe Drifters and they focus on small group trips geared towards solo travelers with the mission of giving new meaning to travel by putting the human experience at the heart of their trips. The groups are small, usually with 12 people maximum per trip and about 90% of everyone on each trip are solo travelers so you’re not stuck being the odd man out on trips with mostly couples. You’ll have the best of both worlds, solo travel with the security of a small group of other solo travelers for some company on your adventure! To contact Globe Drifters directly, you can email info@globe-drifters.com.

Experience the elusive Northern Lights in the heart of the wilderness… Finland is one of the best places to witness the dancing Northern Lights. Spend 4 days surrounded by Lapland’s majestic forests blanketed in powdery white snow, far away from the city lights. Our trip is at the best time of the year and the best place to see the Northern Lights thanks to the remote northern location of the aurora cabins, clear skies with limited clouds, the spring equinox, and long dark nights.
Snowy sleigh rides: Journey through magical snow-dusted landscapes by sleigh, get up close and personal with reindeer & huskies, and snowmobile through the white wilderness!
Igloo cabins with your own sauna: Warm up in your own personal sauna after a day of snowy adventures and stargaze from the comfort of your own bed in an Aurora cabin as you await the Northern Lights.

Off-the-beaten-path Greek island paradise… Naxos is an authentic Greek island in the Cyclades away from the masses of tourists. It is the perfect mix of sandy beaches, stunning turquoise waters, olive groves, mountains, and local traditions. Naxos is also Zeus’ childhood home and boasts wonderful Greek food as well as amazing hospitality!
Beaches: Sun-soaked and radiant, Naxos is a great location to take some time and relax in the many sun loungers on the beach.
See what few tourists see: Visit Naxos’ inland which most visitors skip. Take in the charming Greek villages and majestic mountain ranges on the Cyclades’ largest island.
Boat life!: Channel your inner James Bond as you speed around in a boat to the idyllic village of Naoussa on Paros and the picture-perfect beaches in and around Naxos.
Stay in a boutique hotel located in the peaceful countryside of Naxos but just a 15-minute walk into the island’s old town (with a grocery store and plenty of cafes & restaurants) and a 10-minute walk to some of the most beautiful beaches in the Aegean Sea (with umbrella and beach chair rental available!)
