About us
This group is for 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% 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!
If you’d like to host a local Meetup (i.e. a brunch, happy hour, coffee, etc) to talk about travel, 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 before 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 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 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.
