My name is Elizabeth and I’m so excited to see you here!

I grew up in a small town in central Pennsylvania. One thing I knew from an early age was how much I wanted to explore the world outside of my little bubble. As a child I did it through the books I would read; as an adult I was lucky enough to explore new places through work. Little kid me never would have imagined I would one day be seeing the Taj Mahal in India or riding a dune buggy in the deserts of the UAE!

And then 2020 happened.

During the pandemic I (like everyone else) found myself at an impasse. I missed my work planning international travel itineraries, but I also realized I had a newfound appreciation for things I hadn’t before. I missed travel and exploring, but I also missed being around people and I missed hanging around the place I currently call home, Charlottesville, VA.  I went from having wanderlust to wanting to share all the things I love with people in order to have a much-needed connection during an isolated time. All these feelings turned into restless energy until one day, at the encouragement of my sweet husband, I started to channel it into something more positive – my website, Drift Cville.

This blog is my way of sharing all the things I feel passionately about with you. From travel to food, from hosting things at home to planning itineraries to take you away, I cover it all and I hope you enjoy reading along.

If there’s something you would like to see or if you are interested in working with me, please feel free to reach out to me at elizabeth@driftcville.com. You can also follow me on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Threads. My handle is @driftcville.

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy watching and reading about my adventures. Until next time, cheers and happy exploring!
