What we’re about
This is a group for energetic travelers who like to explore around the world without being herded through the superficial schedules of commercial tours. If you like to go around see different countries, experience foreign arts and cultures, but have trouble finding someone to give you company, you are at the very right place. Single travel has the innate advantages of letting you create a unique trip for yourself and connecting you with people who would have similar interest in that trip. The advantages of traveling in group, on the other hand, are reduced stress of managing travel logistics, sharing costs and, overall, have fun. This travel club is targeting to combine the best of the two worlds. We are not a tour company and do not have pre-created tour packages. Here is how it works: the idea of a particular trip is conceived and initially researched by one of our members. The trip idea is then posted into the website along with the meet-up dates for brainstorming, itinerary planning, cost estimation and logistics of group bookings. Travel tickets would be mostly booked individually, but can be coordinated with the group. Finally the trip starts and all the fun begins!!

See all- Whale Watching & Wildlife TourSeattle's Pier 69, Seattle, WA
You don’t have to venture into the San Juan Islands to see whales in their natural habitat—with this tour, you can board a whale-watching cruise right in downtown Seattle. You'll spend anywhere from 4 to 6 hours onboard, looking for whales and learning about the area’s ecosystem. Choose from budget-friendly standard seating or pay extra for premium window seats. ~Claudette

- EPIC MACHU PICCHU via Short Inca Trail or Train...With Amazon Jungle ExtensionSeattle-Tacoma International Airport, SeaTac, WA
Discover the awe-inspiring journey to Machu Picchu with one of our three distinct options, each offering its own charm and adventure. As a Meetup, we travel as a group and still are able to tailor your Machu Picchu experience according to your preferences and interests.
This post is for those interested in the easier options to get to Machu Picchu, compared to the 5-day hiking trip via the Salkantay Trek.
We are taking The Short Inca Trail. It's a one full day of hiking in the second half of the classic Inca Trek, followed by a full day spent at Machu Picchu. This is the shorter and less difficult alternative to the Salkantay Trek. It is a memorable trip with stunning views of rainforest canopy and ancient historic sights!
The Train version is intended for people with less mobility or those wishing to glamp it a bit. The itinerary matches the Inca Trail group, except the hiking day is substituted by a comfortable train ride.
The third alternative is The Salkantay Trek. This is a 5-Day hike on the ancient and remote footpath located in the same region as the Inca Trail where massive snow-capped mountains collide with lush tropical rainforests. Those who are interested in this option, CLICK HERE for the Meetup event.
ALL THREE groups begin together with a few days in Lima and Cusco but will reach Machu Picchu - the culmination, in different ways!
As a special bonus for the Inca/Train group, we have included a 4-day excursion to the Amazon Rainforest! We will explore Tambopata National Reserve alongside our expert naturalist guides, immersing ourselves in lush rainforest landscapes teeming with exotic flora and fauna. Breathtaking vistas of the mighty river and vibrant sunsets await us to make this journey an experience of a lifetime!
