About us
🌎 Good people. Great adventures. Let's go somewhere!
Fun Friends Travel is for people who want to explore, connect and make memories with a fun group of fellow travelers.
We coordinate one big international adventure each year, along with weekend getaways and other travel opportunities closer to home. Some trips are open to everyone, while others may be designed around a particular age group, women, singles or another shared interest. Each trip will clearly say who it's for.
This isn't a travel agency or a traditional travel club. Fun Friends started with a simple idea: there are places we want to see, so why wait? We find the adventure, gather a good group and make it happen.
Expect a mix of sightseeing, exploring, great food, local experiences, a little adventure and plenty of time to actually enjoy the people you're traveling with.
You don't need to already know someone. New friends are part of the adventure.

🌲Giant Trolls, Louisville & Bourbon Country Weekend🥃
Location not specified yetSINGLES ONLY - AGES 40's & 50's. This is a Bring a Friend Event! Rather attend solo - that's okay too 😁. A relaxed weekend combining Giant Forest Trolls, charming small-town Kentucky, Louisville's riverfront, unique fossil beds, and a Bourbon Country dinner. This trip is intended to be relaxed, flexible, and low-pressure. The goal is simply to explore somewhere new together and make some great memories!
Before You Sign Up - This is an Interest List, you are not confirmed for the trip! More information will follow...
This is a casual, community road trip—not a guided tour. We'll spend time together throughout the weekend, but everyone is free to explore at their own pace. If you want to linger in a bookstore while someone else grabs coffee, that's perfectly fine! Note: it's your responsibility to keep up with your carmates if you have them 😉.###
What We'll Do - We'll generally follow the same itinerary, but this isn't a minute-by-minute schedule. Think of it as traveling together with flexibility built in.
