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 too big!
The trips in this group are usually 90% (or more) solo female 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!
If you’d like to host a Meetup in your area (i.e. a brunch, happy hour, coffee/travel talk), feel free to let me know and I'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 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 female travelers, but there are sometimes the occasional couple or solo male traveler or couple. Please understand that it’s hard to predict the exact demographic for each trip.
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 female-owned and -run 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 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!
