About us
Sometimes, the best discoveries happen when we give into our curiosity to try new things or we decide to turn left instead of right to go down a new path. This group brings fun, active, social and passionately curious people together to experience what DC and beyond has to offer when you ditch the guidebook and explore what lies beyond the memorials and monuments. All are welcome!
Let's see where our curiosity leads us!
This group is member-driven, so if you’d like to host a Meetup in your area (i.e. happy hour, new restaurant opening, night of dancing, a brunch, 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 before 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 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.
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).

Ecuador & Galapagos! - Jan 2027
Location not specified yetECUADOR & GALAPAGOS ISLANDS TRIP!
• Dates: January 7 - 19, 2027 (13 days / 12 nights)
• Cost: from $5800 (per person, excluding flights)
• Trip details: https://globe-drifters.com/trip/galapagos-and-ecuador/Email info@globe-drifters.com if you have questions!
***A small-group trip that covers more than just the Galápagos. ***You’ll explore Quito, travel into Ecuador’s Cloud Forest, and then continue on to the Galápagos Islands. The Cloud Forest offers a completely different ecosystem, with cooler air, dense jungle, and rare wildlife, before shifting to the volcanic landscapes and iconic animals of the Galápagos. It’s a varied itinerary that combines cities, rainforest, and islands in one trip.
Cloud Forest: While many itineraries skip it, the Cloud Forest is a true highlight. Perched on the Equator, this rare environment has a one-of-a-kind climate that supports remarkable plant and animal life found nowhere else. To fully experience it, we’ll soar through the mist itself — by cable car and zipline above the forest canopy.
Comfort & flexibility: We’ve chosen a land-based Galápagos experience for comfort and flexibility. Without overnight sailing in rough seas, you’ll sleep well and feel refreshed for the next day. Evenings are yours to explore local towns, experience everyday island life, and enjoy unique specialties like Galápagos craft beer and locally grown coffee from tortoise farms.
No hidden costs: All domestic flights and national park fees are included. ($1000 USD value).
