Frequently asked questions.
Who goes on these trips?
Our travelers are curious, grounded, and high-intent—typically between 28–40 years old. Some are single, some partnered, and all are looking for deeper experiences and meaningful connection. We curate for chemistry, not just convenience.
How do you make sure the group gets along?
Each traveler takes a compatibility quiz to match on energy, interests, values, and travel style. No random roommates. No awkward energy. Just curated magic.
Where do the trips go—and do I get to choose?
We run both domestic and international trips. Once you’re matched, you’ll get a personalized invite with all the details—destination, vibe, timing, and inclusions—before you commit.
How safe is the trip? Do you do background checks?
Your safety and comfort are our top priorities. We carefully vet every traveler through our compatibility quiz and application process to ensure a respectful, trustworthy group vibe. While we don’t run formal background checks, our invite-only model and community-based referrals help us build groups where everyone feels secure and supported.
What’s included in the trip price and how much do they cost?
Trip prices typically range from $2,500 to $7,000, depending on destination. This includes a beautiful boutique hotel stay for the entire trip, welcome cocktail hour, daily breakfast, group dinners, curated local experiences, local transportation to activities, airport transfers, luggage handling, prep guides, access to your group chat, and a few surprise touches. Flights are not included, but we offer flight support. Additional expenses like extra activities, shopping, lunches, room service, and anything not mentioned above are not covered.
What if I can’t go after I’ve paid the deposit?
We get it—life happens. Deposits are fully transferable to another trip if plans change. Final payment is due 90 days before departure for international and 30 days before departure for domestic.
What if I get there and don’t want to stay?
We design every trip to be engaging and welcoming, but if you decide to leave within the first 24 hours, your spot is fully transferable to another trip. For first-time travelers, if you leave within 24 hours, you’ll receive a full refund. Just keep us informed so we can support you and handle logistics smoothly. Our goal is to create a space where you want to stay—and we’ll do everything we can to make that happen.
Is this a wellness retreat or a party trip?
Neither, really. Think: elevated, balanced, immersive. Some days include wine tastings or late-night dancing. Others offer slow mornings, coastal walks, or fireside connection. You’ll find a mix of intention and fun.
Can I come with a friend or partner?
Maybe! Our goal is to curate the right mix of energy and connection across the group. You and a friend might or might not be sent the same invitation to a trip. But invitations and group pairings are really based on compatibility and overall group dynamics. You might be matched together—or you might each be placed where your individual vibe fits best. Either way, it’s part of the magic.
Will I have solo time, or is it go-go-go?
We blend structured moments with downtime. Mornings are usually open so you can sleep in, explore solo, or grab a quiet coffee. But to be honest — the experiences are too good to miss, and the point is to connect. So while solo time is there when you need it, most people find themselves leaning into the group magic by afternoon. Plus, because groups are carefully matched for compatibility, if you tend to be more introverted, you’ll be in like-minded, safe company.
Do I book my own flight?
Yes, but we’re here to help. You’ll get flight support, suggested arrival times, and direct access to our team for logistics.
Why Aren’t Flights Included?
We want to keep things simple and flexible for you. By not including flights, you get the freedom to choose your preferred airline, travel dates, can apply reward miles and choose ideal seating options—making the trip fit your schedule perfectly. Plus, it helps us keep the trip pricing transparent and focused on the unique experiences, accommodations, and local activities we curate just for you. Don’t worry, we’re here to support you with flight recommendations and tips to make your travel planning easy and stress-free!
What happens after the trip?
You’ll get access to our Drift Society alumni group—an intentional community for staying connected, networking, and being first in line for future experiences.
Why a membership fee?
To continue delivering exceptional experiences, personalized service, and exclusive member benefits, we charge an annual membership fee. This fee supports maintaining our boutique quality, investing in unique new destinations, and crafting thoughtful, elevated experiences tailored just for you.
