New York Singles welcome!
NYC is so big, yet there are so many singles who are looking for a match in NY. Lets make it singles less, or at least meet great, fun people and have a amazing time to remember.
This group is not about going to bars and clubs, but just meeting up somewhere and doing something awesome.
All sorts of singles events! Whether it be a boat cruise, a Broadway play, fashion shows, museums, tours etc. Events galore!
Its time to make new friends and re-create the good old college days. Its time to create another network of people you can rely upon. Its time for more crazy-wild times and stories.
So get out of from your comfort zone, and explore with us the NYC. With other singles. This is the best way to start meeting and dating in New York. When you are full of activity, events and zest. Lets have fun.
What do you say? Lets meet-up!

Serengeti Photo Safari & Zanzibar Extension! A Journey of a Lifetime!!
We all have seen Lion King in one form or another . . . It's now time to go to the source.
Our meetup is off to Africa for The Great Migration Photo Safari! We did this amazing trip in the summer of 2024 and everybody had a blast! (see photos in the link below)
Encounter the exotic wildlife of the Serengeti! Marvel at the lions, zebras, elephants and so many majestic animals we have only seen in the zoo or in movies.
On Serengeti's vast, treeless plains tens of thousands of hoofed animals are constantly on the move in search of fresh grassland. This is a once-in-a-life-time opportunity to experience the best game viewing in Africa!
Like every trip we do with Meetup, this one is personally crafted to offer the best places and best use of time.
The itinerary is:
July 5 Arrival Kilimanjaro Intl Airport and transfer to Arusha
July 6 Arusha to Tarangire National Park
July 7 Ngorongoro Crater full day game drive
July 8 Ngorongoro to Serengeti National Park (Central Seronera area)
July 9 Serengeti (Central)
July 10 Northern Serengeti (Kogatende)
July 11 Northern Serengeti (Kogatende)
July 12 Northern Serengeti (Kogatende) to Lake Natron
July 13 Lake Natron to Arusha

All of these locations don't mean much to you at the moment, but after the trip you will remember them forever as some of the best places you have ever visited!
