What we’re about
This group is for East Bay lesbians over 40 who don’t want to wait on their friends to finally say “yes” to get out, do things, have fun, be active & social, and maybe see the world while you're at it. Life is too short and the world is too big!
The local events in this group are member-driven so if you’d like to host a Meetup in your area (i.e. a brunch, happy hour, travel talk, hike, play, concert, book club, game night, 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 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](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).

Experience the elusive Northern Lights in the heart of the wilderness… Finland is one of the best places to witness the dancing Northern Lights. Spend 4 days surrounded by Lapland’s majestic forests blanketed in powdery white snow, far away from the city lights. Our trip is at the best time of the year and the best place to see the Northern Lights thanks to the remote northern location of the aurora cabins, clear skies with limited clouds, the spring equinox, and long, dark nights.
Snowy sleigh rides: Journey through magical snow-dusted landscapes by sleigh, get up close and personal with reindeer & huskies, and snowmobile through the white wilderness!
Igloo cabins with your own sauna: Warm up in your own personal sauna after a day of snowy adventures and stargaze from the comfort of your own bed in an Aurora cabin as you await the Northern Lights.
All-inclusive in Lapland: Most meals and all activities are included in the trip price. Enjoy a worry-free vacation where all you have to do is enjoy!
