What we’re about
Welcome to the Upper Valley 20s & 30s Hiking and Adventure Group! This group is for people in their 20s and 30s who enjoy the outdoors and are looking to explore the various hidden gems of New Hampshire and Vermont. Event locations will include the Upper Valley region and the NH White Mountain region. This group is perfect for beginner and experienced adventurers alike who want to connect through hiking, walking, sightseeing, and other nature-based activities. Hikes will range from easy to moderate in difficulty with a “no person left behind” mindset—everyone is welcome, no matter your pace or experience level!
This group is intended to be a space for social connection, not for dating. That said, it's natural that some friendships may evolve into something more over time. Asking another person out is permitted, but please:
- If the answer is no, don’t ask again.
- Respect physical boundaries: don't touch anyone unless they've clearly said it's okay. This includes being mindful of non-verbal “no” cues like someone stepping back or raising their hand or hands upon approach.
- No harassment, disrespect, or other inappropriate behavior: I am committed to keeping this a safe, welcoming, and inclusive Meetup group. Please treat others with courtesy and respect. If you experience any issues, please reach out to me directly. All concerns will be handled privately and thoroughly.
Group Guidelines
I am asking all members to follow a few simple rules to keep things running smoothly:
- RSVP honestly: please keep your RSVPs up to date. 3 no-shows without notice will result in removal from the group. Last-minute cancellations are acceptable, but please update your RSVP. If you do not, it will be considered a no-show.
- Photo requirements: for safety reasons, all members must have a clear profile photo. This is to help everyone feel comfortable and secure at Meetup events.
Lastly, please enjoy yourself! I look forward to exploring with you!
