As an experienced Meetup Event Host, whenever I've attended or led Meetup events, invariably most people are "new to the area" and often single. I'm not new to the area but I wanted to create a group which offers a potpourri of options that encourages socializing with really exploring the popular and hidden gems of the Bay Area and some out of town expeditions. This group will have a big focus on fitness at the same time as we explore in a variety of ways; by foot, biking, and possibly public transportation and train. It is a synthesis of some of my favorite things (hikes, walks, cycling, movies, cultural events, dining) I've done with various Meetup groups all rolled into one. I invite members to contribute their ideas, bring to light cultural events or cool places they wish to explore. Best of all, you don't have to be a newbie to join!
