What we’re about

Hi!

ONLY PAID MEMBERS OF HAPPY TRAILS MEETUP ARE ELIGIBLE FOR INVITATION TO JOIN THIS GROUP.

This group is for genuine solo adventure travellers, who are independent travellers seeking outdoor adventures, be it hiking, golfing, skiing and other similar wholesome outdoor activities inter-state or internationally.

You would be used to making your own travel arrangements, enjoy the independence of travelling alone, but appreciate the potential for an occasional adventure buddy to together eat up the kilometres of hikes with engaging conversations and great company, or to have someone there to take that awesome scenic photo for you instead of the selfie, or to witness that epic hole-in-one shot of yours on a bucket list golf course, or to chat about the last ski run on the ski lift up to the next run.

MEMBERSHIP IN THIS MEETUP GROUP IS BY INVITATION ONLY. To get to know the organiser and event hosts, come join our hikes in regional Victoria in the Happy Trails meetup group. Admission into (and expulsion from) Happy Trails and this Solo Travel group is at the sole discretion of the organiser and event hosts.

PLEASE READ THIS "ABOUT" PAGE CAREFULLY BEFORE DECIDING THAT THIS GROUP IS FOR YOU AND THAT YOU COULD ABIDE BY THE KEY VALUES.

In joining this group and participating in its activities, you accept the basic rules of this group as follows:

  1. You accept and agree that this is NOT a dating site. Predatory behaviour is 100% unacceptable. Any member behaving in this manner will be expelled and reported to authorities.
  2. You accept that this is NOT a travel agency, that we have no responsibility for your travel bookings and arrangements. If a certain activity in a certain global location may fit your own travel plans, it is your responsibility to get to the venue ON YOUR OWN, and your responsible for making your own accommodation bookings according to your personal level of adventure, comfort zone or budget, be it camping, staying in a hotel or glamping.
  3. You are not needy and expecting favours and support from the host or other members. Like other solo travellers, you are independent, find your own way to the venue at the appointed time to join the posted activity.
  4. There is no obligation by the organiser or host to provide assistance for your travel arrangements, unless it was explicitly offered in the specific event post, and if so, would be limited to the stated arrangements.
  5. You are not a threat to the safety, security, peace of mind or travel independence of the host or fellow participating members.
  6. You accept the key values of this group: like-minded love for the outdoors, trust, respect, courtesy, friendliness, independence, respect for nature, and NEVER being a treat to the security of the host and members.
  7. Members and participants are responsible for their own costs, safety and security and must have their own comprehensive travel and medical insurance. You indemnify the organiser and hosts of any liabilities in case of personal accidents or incidents getting to or participating in any event posted here.
  8. The organiser or host are NOT responsible for any of your travel costs even if there is an event cancellation. You are expected to anyway be an independent solo traveller who can and would proceed with your own travel plans. This meetup serves only to facilitate potential for joint activities subject to mutually convenient time, place and common activity arising from independent solo travel plans.
  9. In signing up for any event, it is your responsibility to understand the physical demands of that activity, and satisfy yourself that your level of health and fitness are compatible with the activity so that you do not risk your own safety, and do not burden the host or other members with your inability to cope with the activity.
