What we’re about
This group is for solo female travelers who don’t want to wait on their friends to finally say “yes” to travel. Life is too short and the world is so big!
The trips in this group are usually 90% solo female travelers. 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!
If you’d like to host a meetup in your area (i.e. a dinner or brunch or any other activity), feel free to let us know and we’ll help you get it set up in the group!
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 partners prior to the trip. You’ll also be connected to the whole group via email and WhatsApp 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 female travelers, but there are sometimes the occasional couple or solo male traveler. Please understand that it’s hard to predict the exact demographic for each trip.
Feel free to join the Facebook Travel Forum 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 completely female-owned and operated 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 with 10-12 people maximum per trip and about 90% of everyone on each trip are solo female 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.
COVID UPDATE: If we cancel your trip prior to departure in the event of a COVID-19-related reason, a full refund will be made.

Off-the-beaten-path Greek island paradise… Naxos is an authentic Greek island in the Cyclades away from the masses of tourists. It is the perfect mix of sandy beaches, stunning turquoise waters, olive groves, mountains, and local traditions. Naxos is also Zeus’ childhood home and boasts wonderful Greek food as well as amazing hospitality!
Beaches: Sun-soaked and radiant, Naxos is a great location to take some time and relax in the many sun loungers on the beach.
See what few tourists see: Visit Naxos’ inland which most visitors skip. Take in the charming Greek villages and majestic mountain ranges on the Cyclades’ largest island.
Boat life!: Channel your inner James Bond as you speed around in a boat to the idyllic village of Naoussa on Paros and the picture-perfect beaches in and around Naxos.
Stay in a boutique hotel located in the peaceful countryside of Naxos but just a 15-minute walk into the island’s old town (with a grocery store and plenty of cafes & restaurants) and a 10-minute walk to some of the most beautiful beaches in the Aegean Sea (with umbrella and beach chair rental available!)

Experience small town Italy like a local… Tuscany conjures up dreams of life at a slower pace where you can soak in the culture, food, and picturesque vistas of the Italian countryside. Stroll through narrow passageways of medieval villages perched on hilltops. Pick out cheese & wine at the market in town and chat with the locals. Then, head back to your 18th-century villa passing olive groves in time for an amazing sunset. Tuscany is the dream vacation and now is your chance!
Live like a local: Sip on espresso & people-watch at a sidewalk cafe in town. Stop by the local grocery store for provisions to prepare a family-style meal in the villa’s fully-equipped kitchen. End the day with a glass of fine wine in your new home.
Ideal location: Most villas in the region are 7 kilometers on average to the closest town & you’d need a rental car during your trip. Our villa is only a 15 to 20-minute walk into town with charming shops, cafes, and restaurants.
Discover Italy: Many of Tuscany & Umbria’s most famous towns are only 30 – 45 minutes away from the villa so you can explore all the best locations in the region without going far.

A slower-paced, small group tour through Iceland… There’s so much to do and see in Iceland that it’s tough to fit it all in one trip. Lots of fast-paced tours cram everything into 5 short days but we take our time and travel at a slower pace around the island in 11 days which means no rushing in and out of the bus with only 10 minutes to take a photo at every stop. Our small group size also allows us to experience some of Iceland’s less-traveled spots:
Hot springs: In addition to the must-see Blue Lagoon, cleanse your body & soul in some less crowded hot springs.
Secret Iceberg Lagoon: Take a zodiac to a hidden iceberg lagoon where it’ll be just you and the towering masses of ice, up close and personal!
Beer spa & jacuzzi: Soak in wooden, beer-filled jacuzzis overlooking breathtaking mountain ranges all while sipping on your favorite glass of lager.
