We were lucky to catch up with Drake Hill recently and have shared our conversation below.
Drake, we’ve been so fortunate to work with so many incredible folks and one common thread we have seen is that those who have built amazing lives for themselves are also often the folks who are most generous. Where do you think your generosity comes from?
I enjoy being generous because that is what life is about—helping others and making a difference where you can. Growing up in Houston, Texas, I was surrounded by southern hospitality, a culture that truly values kindness, warmth, and generosity. Once you experience it, you understand how important it is to always give back. I believe generosity is often shaped by hardships, and when you’ve seen or experienced struggles, you realize the importance of helping those in greater need. It will always be a core value for me, and I will always strive to support and uplift others whenever I can.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
As a co-founder, I’ve always been driven by adventure and cultural exploration. Growing up with a parent in the airline industry, I was fortunate to travel frequently, shaping my global perspective from an early age. With over 50 countries visited, I’ve learned that no single place is my favorite—each offers something unique.
For the past 10 years, my career has been rooted in travel, and for the last three years, growing my business has been my main focus. My passion is inspiring others to step beyond their comfort zones and experience the world firsthand. Travel isn’t just about checking destinations off a list; it’s about connection, learning, and broadening perspectives. I love sharing insights, tips, and itineraries to help others create unforgettable journeys. For me, the real magic of travel lies in the people you meet, the cultures you embrace, and the epic memories you make along the way.
At We Are Globetrotters, our mission is to create an inclusive travel community where anyone—whether a first-time traveler or a seasoned explorer—can experience the world in an exciting and stress-free way. As veteran travelers who have explored 60+ countries, we bring our expertise to curate unforgettable trips filled with immersive excursions, local cuisine, vibrant nightlife, and meaningful cultural experiences. We handle all the planning so you can focus on making lifelong memories and connections. Our goal is to bring together like-minded travelers who want to explore, learn, and share incredible adventures around the globe.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
I’d say my three most valuable skills that can’t be taught in school based off of all of my travel experiences would be:
• Cultural Awareness and Adaptability – With 60+ countries under my belt, I have gained deep cultural insight and the ability to navigate diverse environments with ease. Understanding different customs, traditions, and social norms has allowed me to connect with people worldwide and curate authentic, immersive experiences for others.
• Interpersonal and Communication Skills – Connecting with people from different backgrounds, building relationships worldwide, and leading travel groups have strengthened my ability to communicate effectively, whether it’s negotiating with vendors, working with local guides, or creating a welcoming environment for travelers.
• Community Building and Connection – My outgoing nature and passion for bringing people together have allowed me to form meaningful relationships across the globe. I understand the power of shared experiences in travel and use that to foster a welcoming, inclusive community where travelers of all levels feel comfortable, connected, and inspired.
Tell us what your ideal client would be like?
Our ideal client is someone who craves adventure and cultural exploration but values the ease of a well-planned group trip. They are open-minded travelers eager to experience new destinations, try local cuisines, and embrace new cultures. Whether they’re first-time travelers looking for guidance or seasoned explorers seeking unique experiences, they appreciate the seamless itineraries and stress-free planning We Are Globetrotters provides.
They also value community and connection, enjoying the opportunity to meet like-minded travelers and build lifelong friendships. Many are busy professionals who love to travel but don’t have the time to plan every detail. I’ve also witnessed our guests networking during our trips, and then I see them months later making business plans together. So by trusting us to handle logistics, they can focus on making unforgettable memories while exploring the world with a vibrant, welcoming group.
