We are currently piloting in Baltimore, Maryland, but have plans to expand to other major metropolitan areas. Most events are in the Baltimore area, but we do plan trips and special events in Washington D.C. and surrounding states. Our international trips typically depart from BWI.

The sky’s the limit! One benefit of being a member is having a say in what we plan for the future. If you have a particular activity, venue, or destination in mind, suggest it to the group! If enough people are interested, we will make it happen!

In general, though, we plan a mix of large and small, public and private, adventurous and sedate, general interest and narrow niche events which reflect the interests of the group and its individual members. Check out our calendar on the home page to get an idea of the types of events we’re hosting this month, or better yet, take advantage of the free trial and see what’s scheduled further out. Just be aware that only big trips and recurring events are planned far in advance. We are nimble and responsive to our membership, and we announce new events as they get scheduled instead of dropping an entire month of events at a time.

Your monthly subscription gives you access to the Adventure-Us community and the ability to attend any of our events. Some events are free, public events which anyone can attend, but others are ticketed, private, or special events which are only available to members. For instance, Game Night is always free and open to the public because the more the merrier! In contrast, our upcoming week of adventures in Costa Rica is only available to members, and they will pay individually for the trip.

Ticketed events will typically be billed a the time you RSVP using the same payment method you use for membership. Trips will typically be booked and paid through our travel agent to ensure we all take advantage of group rates, special packages, and perks. For other events, you may pay at the door or reimburse the host for a split bill (e.g. dinner checks) via Venmo or PayPal.

We are planning 2-4 international trips in 2025. We have tentative plans for the following destinations, but dates and prices are not yet set:

Caribbean Cruise on Virgin Voyages—Destinations include Roatan, Costa Maya, and Virgin’s exclusive beach club at Bimini. Shore excursions include zip-lines, snorkeling, horseback riding, ATV rides, and clear-bottom kayaking.

Costa Rica—Week of adventures includes river rafting, rubber ducky kayaking, snorkeling, zip-lines, and canyoning.

Iceland—Itinerary is TBD.

Nope! Cool is cool, no matter your age or relationship status. If you are a mature adult with good conversation, please join! Most members tend to be in their 30s and 40s, but personality and participation are MUCH more important determinants of whether we’re a good fit. As long as you come with a willing heart, you’ll feel welcome with us.

Our founder has a real passion for hosting events, building communities, and networking. The monthly membership fee is low enough that anyone can join, but high enough to ensure that people who sign up will show up. The goal is to make Adventure-Us accessible to anyone who wants to find real friends based on common interests and experiences. We provide a wide range of activities at several price points so there is something here for everyone.

No, membership is month-to-month and can be cancelled by you at any time. However, you do need to be a member in good standing to attend a ticketed or private event. If you do decide to cancel, your membership will continue to be active through the end of the billing period (no pro-rata refunds).

Tell us. In some cases, we may be able to add more capacity (e.g. more tables at a restaurant) or repeat the event another time (e.g. classes). For seasonal or limited events, it may not be possible. We do listen to our members and accommodate reasonable requests whenever possible.

Not at this time. We are focusing on developing a community of friends who get to know one another in person, then travel together. Members who live outside the area would not be able to join us for regular events and develop those relationships.

However, we recognize that there is a strong demand for group travel which could be supported by online events that foster a similar sense of community. If you do live outside the Baltimore area and are interested in group travel, please contact us.
