Brightside Travelers

Enjoy traveling with other fun and easy going people who always look on the bright side!
This group is primarily for solo travelers, but couples are welcome.
We're having lots of fun! We've been to Portugal, Morocco, Egypt, Ecuador, France, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Japan, and more. Get in on the fun and sign up for a trip now!
This group is for you if...

• You are a positive person who likes to have fun with other open-minded solo and couple travelers.
  You are computer literate and can easily sign up for events and pay online without assistance.
  You are able to communicate well via email without the need to speak to someone on the telephone.
  When you attend events, you leave your personal issues at home and bring your upbeat, positive attitude with you. This could be grounds for removal - see below*
  You like to have a whole lot of fun and you "always look on the bright side of life"

The goal of every trip is for all attendees to enjoy their time away.
If just one person talks about their personal problems to another, it is energy draining and depressing to that member and it can ruin the whole trip experience for them. I try to do everything in my power to assure a positive, fun time for all attendees and by making it clear to all members that we do not bring our personal problems on vacation with us, we do not complain or act rude to others (especially service professionals such as wait staff, hotel workers, etc.), and we do not need others to take care of us. We are self-sufficient and enjoy having a good time. We always look on the bright side!

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.

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 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!
