welcome to
drift cville
My name is Elizabeth, and I’m so excited to see you here!
During the pandemic, I (like everyone else) found myself at an impasse. My work in planning international travel programs was understandably at a standstill. I missed organizing things for people, and I missed being out and about in Charlottesville (Cville). As I’ve also always loved to write, I decided to channel my restless energy into something positive, and Drift Cville was born!
A lot has changed since then. I’ve gotten married, started working as a freelance book reviewer, had a baby (my son is now two!), and moved to Midlothian, VA, which is just outside of Richmond.
What hasn’t changed is that I still love sharing all the things I feel passionately about with you via my blog. It just looks a little different now - I hope you like what you see.
Cheers & happy exploring!

Discover the ins and outs of Charlottesville, whether you are a local looking for ideas for a night out with friends or an out-of-towner looking to plan a weekend getaway. From the best places in town to grab coffee to the uniquely Charlottesville to do items, I have you covered!
lifestyle
As I like to plan and organize anything and everything, I’ve compiled a section for just that. Throwing a party? Searching for the perfect gift for someone? I cover all these topics and more.
travel
As I mentioned, I have extensive experience planning travel itineraries and it is something I still love to do for fun. While my job dealt with international locales, I now focus more on domestic travel, including dog friendly (as I am obsessed with my Cavalier King Charles Ollie).
