Share the Passion. I Will Plan the Trip.
Book clubs, pickleball crews, golf groups, girls’ trips, and every tribe in between, traveling together without anyone stuck doing the planning.
Every Club Has One Person Who Always Ends Up Planning the Trip
You know who you are. You started the book club, organized the pickleball league, or keep the girls’ group text alive. When someone says, “We should take a trip together,” every head turns to you. Then come the opinions about dates, the debates about budget, the people who want a pool and the people who want a hike, and the four members who still have not paid their deposit.
Interest-based travel is one of the most rewarding ways to travel because everyone already shares a passion. A golf group wants tee times on great courses. A wine club wants tastings that go beyond the standard tour. A wellness group wants yoga, healthy food, and quiet. A Mah Jongg group needs good tables and a comfortable space to play for hours. Getting those details right is what turns a decent trip into the one your group talks about for years.
MaryElizabeth plans trips built around what your group loves. She finds destinations and properties that fit the activity, books the experiences, handles every individual payment, and manages rooming and dietary preferences. You get to be a member of your group again instead of its unpaid travel coordinator. Travel with your tribe, and let someone else carry the clipboard.
How Your Tribe’s Trip Comes Together
Share What Your Group Loves
The shared interest drives everything: courses for golfers, courts for pickleball and tennis players, vineyards for wine lovers, trails for runners and hikers, quiet spaces for readers.

MaryElizabeth offers options at a few price points and helps your group settle on dates, so nobody has to referee the group chat.
Choose the Destination
Domestic weekend getaways, resort escapes, or international trips are matched to your group size, interest, and travel time.
Book the Experiences
Tee times, court reservations, tastings, cooking classes, spa time, guided hikes, private dinners, and game space are arranged in advance.
Collect Payments Individually
Each traveler pays MaryElizabeth directly, so the organizer never fronts money or chases friends for deposits.
Enjoy the Trip
Everyone receives a clear itinerary and pre-trip information, and MaryElizabeth stays reachable throughout the trip.
Tribes MaryElizabeth Plans Trips For
Trips Designed Around the Activity, Not Just the Destination
The difference between a generic group trip and a great one is how well the destination fits the interest. Pickleball groups need resorts or clubs with enough courts and open play time. Golf groups need tee times on multiple courses and lodging close enough to avoid long drives. Garden clubs love private garden tours and flower festivals. Wine and food lovers want small-producer tastings, market tours, and hands-on cooking classes. Running clubs may plan around a destination race weekend, and outdoor groups need experienced guides and the right season.
Book clubs and Mah Jongg groups often want something simpler: a beautiful rental home or boutique hotel, great meals, and comfortable space to gather. Wellness groups need healthy menus, daily classes, and quiet. MaryElizabeth plans the logistics around the experience so your group gets exactly the kind of trip it signed up for.
What Is Included in Your Group Trip
Plan 6 to 12 Months Ahead
Group-friendly rental homes, resort room blocks, and popular tee times go quickly, especially in peak season. Starting 6 to 12 months ahead gives members time to budget and lets MaryElizabeth secure the best properties and experiences for your group.

Yes. Golf trips include tee times and lodging near the courses, and pickleball trips are built around resorts and clubs with enough courts and play time for your group.
