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 try something new, go skiing, attend a concert, travel, take a cooking class, go bungee jumping, learn a new language, and more!
This group is member-driven, so if you’d like to host a Meetup in your area, 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).

Why I’m charging everyone right now:
1. I’m not currently working.2. I still owe (major) money to secure the venue and finish paying off the rest.
IF the event makes enough to cover costs, I WILL refund the auctionees and bidders their ticket payments.
But for now... see reasons 1 & 2 above.
And a big thank you to my early sponsors—they fronted $3,000 to help secure the venue deposit while I worked on raising funds from you all.
Fyi, al of those ppl for their advance monies have been paid back—thanks to the contributions from ticket sales and auctions,per you amazing folks!
