On 9/27 there is an Expo at the Brownwood Hotel from 2 to 5. One of the vendors is a travel club.
You might want to buy tickets.
Should be in the paper or call hotel

Same. In Oregon. Hiked Kilamanjero last year. And the Camino in Portugal. Got lucky and found fellow adventurers along the way but nothing in Villages. I have had some success with Meetup Groups. An example is Colorado Hiking Meetup Groups.
Perhaps Orlando has at least one ‘Meetup’ travel group.

If you sign up for one of their trips you are in.

The problem for us is they have only asked waiting list folks if they wanted to get onto a trip once since we got on the list beginning of the year.

There are several TV travel groups on Facebook that are very active.

I searched on here and found one other group called the "Traveling Villagers" but the post was from 2018 and I don't believe that group is in existence anymore. Is there really just one travel group in The Villages?

Thanks for our help.

My husband and I were trip directors and are thinking of planning a trip to Malta and other places when we return to the villages. We would like other villagers to join us.
