About us
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.

Prince's Purple Rain on Broadway
Majestic Theatre, 245 W 44th St, New York, NY 10036, USA, New York, NY, USYou know I'm not the biggest fan of Juke box mucical but I am one of Prince's biggest fans. I cannot miss this one. I just adored the Movie. Lin-Manuel Miranda loved the out of town previews so much he is producing the musical. I's going to be a definate "not miss". Prince’s legacy is reborn on stage at Broadway’s Majestic Theatre in Purple Rain, the electrifying new musical featuring over twenty of his iconic hits--including “Kiss,” “When Doves Cry,” “I Would Die 4 U,” "Take Me With You," and "The Beautiful Ones"-and based on the Grammy®-winning album and Oscar®-winning film.
Minneapolis, 1984. A new era of music television is creating overnight stars. A magnetic young performer known as “The Kid” seems like the perfect frontman to lead his bandmates to stardom. But when his past threatens everything he's built, he’ll have to sing his way out of the darkness and into the spotlight where he belongs.
A visionary creative team reimagines Prince’s extraordinary world for the stage, with direction by Tony-nominated director Saheem Ali (Buena Vista Social Club), acclaimed librettist and screenwriter Peter Duchan (Dogfight), a music team led by Tony Award winner Jason Michael Webb (MJ the Musical), Emmy-winning choreographer Ebony Williams (additional choreography for the Renaissance World Tour), and longtime Prince collaborators and bandmates Bobby Z and Morris Hayes as Prince Music advisors. Lin-Manuel Miranda will be producing the musical. He saw it in previews out of town and LOVED it so much he offered to produce it.

The Greek Islands: Mykonos, Santorini & Crete
Accropolis, 105 Road, Athens, GRAs some of you may know I missed our fabalous tour of France. I had a medical problem that needed treatment so au revoir to France. I'm so bummed! The only thing that will lift my spirits is an incredable tour of the Greek islands. I actually did this tour 7 years ago. It was the best tour ever. I really want to do it again. Many of our group never went 7 years ago and want to do it so off we go!
I really love this tour as it's a perfect balance of historic tourism and beach vacation. When not exploring this land so rich in history, enjoy the beaches and pools of our beautiful Greek Islands.. Sunbathe, sip a cool drink, splash in the pool, and relax. The Greek Islands are calling you, and now is your chance to experience their beauty and fascinating histories. Stunning scenery and ancient monuments…this Greece guided tour is a dream vacation! I decieded to go in early May before it get's too hot.
The tour starts and ends in Athens and includes guided sightseeing with an expert Local Guide. Among the sights you will see are the Acropolis, and the Parthenon. Next we ferry over to 3 of Greece's most enchanting and diverse islands for 3 days on each each. You can learn more about this wonderful itinerary here: The Greek Islands

It's always more fun when we know the people we are traveling with. For those in New Jersey we will have meetups every 4 months at restaurants prior to our trip so members can get to know one another. I think it's one of the very special benefits of a meetup travel tour. It will also be an opportunity for you to meet other travelers who are traveling single and might want to share a room. It's a wonderful way to find that perfect roommate!WHY AM I ON THE WAITING LIST?
