What we’re about
This group is for people who don’t want to wait on their friends to finally say “yes” to get out and take a walk, go out to eat, go bowling, go to a concert, travel, play pickleball, learn a new language, and more!
This group is member-driven so if you’d like to host a Meetup in your area (i.e. a brunch, happy hour, play pickleball, go for a walk, a concert, see a ball game, 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
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 small-town Italy like a local on a slowcation… Tuscany conjures up dreams of life at a slower pace where you can soak in the Italian countryside’s culture, food, and picturesque vistas. Stroll through narrow passageways of medieval villages perched on hilltops. Pick out cheese & wine at the market in town and chat with the locals. Tuscany is the dream vacation and now is your chance to go!
Live like a local: Skip the hoards of tourists in Italy’s more popular towns and cities and live the good life in a true Italian village with barely any tourists. If you want to experience the real Italy, this is your chance!
Ideal location: This villa was converted into a hotel in the early 1900s and is situated right in town making it easy to explore. A cafe, grocery store, and many restaurants are just a few steps away from your accommodation.
Discover Italy: Many of Tuscany & Umbria’s most famous towns are only 30 – 45 minutes away from the hotel so you can explore all the best locations in the region without going far.

1️⃣ Have Fun!
🎉 This is a casual, friendly event, so bring the energy and enjoy the game! Let’s keep it light and fun!
2️⃣ Headshots Don’t Count!
❌ Hits above the neck? Not an elimination! We’re all about the action below the neck — so aim low and have fun!
3️⃣ Catching is Cool!
👐 Catches only count if you grab the ball before it touches the ground, wall, or hits another player. Timing is EVERYTHING! ⏱️
4️⃣ Blocking – Be Careful!
⚠️ Using the ball to block? If it falls from your hands or hits your fingers, you’re OUT! Be strategic!
5️⃣ Stay Within the Boundaries!
🚫 Step out of bounds, and you’re disqualified. Stay inside the lines to stay in the game! Keep your footing!
7️⃣ Opening Rush – It’s a Race!
🏃♂️ At the start, grab the balls only on your right side! To throw, the ball must clear the designated cone first — no shortcuts!
8️⃣ Quick Throws, Fast Moves!
⏰ You’ve got 10-15 seconds to throw the ball and keep the action moving — no time to waste!
9️⃣ Rule Adjustments
🔄 Rules may be adjusted on the fly for an even better experience! Let’s keep it fair and fun for everyone.⚡ Let the Games Begin! ⚡
