Global Meetup
Albuquerque

Sometimes you’re looking for a travel experience without having someone plan out absolutely everything. That’s where Wanderful’s Global Meetups come in.

We coordinate a group of Wanderful members to travel to a place at the same time where we have a local hub. We’ll get a block at a local hotel and set up 1-2 group activites, plus give you the opportunity to plan your own schedule with a number of community-led experiences, too. The rest is up to you.

We’ll give you access to a private group in the Wanderful member portal so you can find and meet other travelers in advance and set up activities to do together.

Unlike a typical group trip where everything is covered in advance, we organize 1-2 activities and everything else is up to you. Our members organize self-managed experiences and tours for others to participate on, which may have their own additional costs, but it’s all up to you.

Airfare, accommodation, ground transport, and any other activities or meals not included in our primary planning, are costs that you can expect to spend independently.

Look no further! We’ll have two group meetings to help you meet other travelers and also connect with our partner so you get all the information and advice you need.

We’ll also have an exclusive group in the Wanderful member hub where you can continue to ask questions as you get into travel planning mode.

Just remember that transportation, accommodation, and additional activities not listed above need to be booked on your own.

You don’t need to be a member yet — we have options for everyone! Choose a member ticket if you’re already part of our community, or select the non-member ticket to join this trip and enjoy a full year of Wanderful membership included.

We strive to make sure that all of our Global Meetups are as accessible as possible. At any official gatherings we’ll ask for your dietary and accessibility needs, and we’ll be as explicit as possible about what to expect on our community-led experiences from an accessibility standpoint. If you have any additional needs, let us know. We want you to feel comfortable and supported!
