Socialize, Fun and Friends over 55

Manchester, CT

This group is for people over 55 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](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).

Books and Brunch

The purpose of this group is to meet once a month to read a book we all voted on and discuss. We will switch up the venue every month. It could be at someone’s house or a restaurant. Food is a must! The point of the group is to bring a community closer together. Since COVID, a lot of people have missed out on making new friends, so this group is going to help with that. We are also looking to bring like minded people together to have intellectual conversations.

You should join if you like to read and get to know people. This is a fun and open environment so book suggestions and places to meet are always encouraged. This book club is open to all genders.

There will not be any fees associated with joining the club. You would only paying for what you eat / drink at the restaurants we attend. This club is not affiliated with any business or organization. This is strictly a fun thing I decided to create when I moved here.
