About us
Are you someone who loves to travel and play games? Join our meetup group for like-minded people who enjoy exploring new destinations and playing fun board and card games together.
Open to couples, singles and groups. Some of the games we provide are Cards Against Humanity and Jackbox.tv but if you have a game you want to bring, please do so.
Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway, a cruise vacation, a destination wedding or honeymoon, or just want to meet other couples who share your love of travel and gaming, this is the group for you! We also organize European river cruises, luxury cruises, and game nights. Connect with other people who share your passion for travel and games in a friendly and welcoming environment.

Presenters from some of the top travel suppliers like Viking, Princess, Virgin Voyages, Collette, Exoticca, Sandals, AMA Waterways and more. And all attendees whether its an in-person presentation at a location in the NW suburbs of Chicago or one of our online Zoom presentations will receive at a bare minimum a travel voucher from Cruise Planners UDreamIt and special promotions from the guest presenters just by attending any of the upcoming Travel With A Purpose, Travel For A Cause Learning Events. The goal is to have at least one event per month.
