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 and take a walk, go out to eat, travel, play pickleball, learn a new language, and more!
This group is member-driven so if you’d like to host a Meetup in your area (i.e. a brunch, happy hour, a hike, shoot some hoops, go for a walk, concerts, coffee, etc), 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](mailto:info@globe-drifters.com).

Journey through time in Jordan in a small group… Discover the ancient city of Petra, sleep in the Martian domes in Wadi Rum, float in the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea, and haggle for treasures in Amman’s souks. Jordan has something for everyone and our 9-day small group trip includes it all!
A rose-red city half as old as time: Experience Petra twice, including a mesmerizing candlelit night visit!
Double the adventure in Wadi Rum: Wadi Rum is a major highlight in Jordan so we do 2 nights here unlike most groups who just do 1. This means plenty of time for unforgettable activities such as a hot air balloon ride, stargazing, a wild jeep safari, just to name a few!
Sleep in a Martian dome!: Go glamping in the middle of Wadi Rum in a bubble tent with huge windows, perfect for stargazing. We’ve found the perfect camp far from noisy traffic, offering some of the best views right from your dome tent!
Get healed in the lowest place on Earth: The Dead Sea’s waters are mineral-rich with many healing properties. It’s impossible not to float… So try to sink; we dare you!
