What we’re about
This meetup is a collective of creative and curious souls who want to be inspired by the world and each other. Whether it’s a visit to a Museum in New York, a concert in Princeton or watching the sunset on a junk in Ha Long Bay, we can share the wonders together.
A little about me…. I’ve been a professional photographer for over 18 years. I’ve actually been designated a Master photographer by the Professional Photographers of America (PPA). I am one of the few women to have this distinction. I’m also a lover of travel, food, art, music, theater and great conversation! This group should satisfy my many pleasures. I presently also facilitate Princeton Fine Dining also. Whether you are a painter, a writer, a photographer, a musician, a gourmet, an architect or just someone who enjoys all the wonders and culture of the world, please join me. You may reside in Princeton or San Francisco; it really doesn’t matter. This group is about travel, beauty, culture and camaraderie.
Join me for the adventure.

•OnlineAnnual Holiday "Thank You"
OnlineWell, it's that time of year for your opportunity to say "Thanks" to the Art of Wander. This year it would be especially appreciated.
As you know, unlike some groups, this is not a profit making venture for me. It is for friendship, fun and shared pleasures. Talk about price gouging! Guess everyone is getting in the act. Meetup says it's because it's improvements to the technology! Throughout the year I'm asked how you can say thanks and make a donation to support our group. I just like to open it up to donations during this holiday season. There is a yearly fee meetup and I also pay for a professional Zoom account so we can have chats. I also use Zoom to discuss trips we might be planning. It can get a little pricy, but I definitely get back from it.
If you would like to make a donation You can send what you like by either PayPal to mlabbancz@gmail.com or you can also send your donation via Zelle to marie@artoflove.com
I want to thank you all for your friendship and the community we share throughout the year. I get so much back from my meetup groups. Sharing such wonderful times with kindred spirits. It makes life better.

Christmas Morning Movie - Song Sung Blue
Regal Cinema, 2465 South Broad Street, Trenton, nj, USMerry Christmas to me!!!!! One of our wanderer’s traditions is our Christmas Morning musical movie. For those of us who don't celebrate Christmas, or don't have family around on Christmas Morning it's a very festive way to share the morning with friends.
This year Christmas release musical sounds like a real winner. It stars Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson as Mike and Claire Sardina, the couple who performed as Lightning & Thunder in the 1980s and '90s."Song Sung Blue," shows the pain behind the triumph of the movie's real-life, Milwaukee-based Neil Diamond tribute band.
The movie is an uplifting love story about middle-aged divorcees and struggling performers who come together to find love, family and musical success − including opening for Pearl Jam in Milwaukee.
