Drift Escapes: Building the World’s First Floating Creative Nation & Drift Academy and Media CIC
Founder: Shana-Jane Gooden
Brand zones possibilities
Hi everyone,
I’m Shana-Jane, founder of Drift Escapes — an immersive global concept that reimagines tourism, technology, and creative collaboration on water. We’re building the world’s first floating creative nation powered by renewable tech, storytelling, AI, and cultural exchange.
What is Drift Escapes?
A floating infrastructure ecosystem that blends:
Immersive tourism pods (luxury floating stays, NFT-backed rooms, modular design)
Drift Academy (youth education & content creation programs)
Floating food halls with rotating cultural chefs
Holographic storytelling domes + media production stages
Sustainable marine tech + farming integration
DriftCoin (crypto) to power creator wallets, landless ownership, and transparent revenue sharing
This is not just a resort — it’s a scalable, decentralized nation model built for creators, tech partners, and purpose-driven brands.
Why I’m Sharing on Gitcoin:
We’re currently:
- Seeking mission-aligned collaborators across Web3, marine tech, solar, crypto, AI, immersive media, and DAO strategy
- Applying for funding to support Phase 1 activation (infrastructure, crypto prototype, and youth training)
- Inviting co-creation around governance models for distributed creative communities on water
Whether you’re a grant expert, DAO steward, Web3 educator, or floating architecture innovator — we’d love to connect.
