Maybe it's time for a little less face-to-screen and a little more face-to-face.

Introduction
Hello, have lived on 4 different continents, interested in making new friends who love to travel like me. Check out our main active group - Do Something New Meetup group
What are you hoping that the Calgary TRavel Meetup Group can bring into your life?

A great group of new friends with the same passion I have for travelling and to discover all about this facinating world we live in. Of course one learns a lot from the experiences of the other members.

What is the longest time you were away from home?

4 months from Aug 2004 till Dec 2004 to visit family in Mauritius for 6 weeks then the rest of the time back in South Africa visiting other family and school friends, after leaving 25 years ago.

What is the most unusual thing that happened to you while travelling?

Hmm well not something that anyone wants to have gone through but I was flying back to Canada on September 11th, 2001. We were 3 hours into our flight and had to turn back to Gatwick London. Was very grateful to be alive.

Where would you like to travel to next?

It seems that Cuba might be the next destination to explore. The quest would be to see it before Castro dies and the whole world changes it!

Where have you traveled in this big wide world, and which is your favourite destination so far?

Well now, was born in Scotland, lived 20 years in South Africa, lived one year in Holland, visited France, Germany, Belguim, England, Mauritius and now a bit of the USA and of course Canada. Favourite - Mauritius a bit of heaven at the beach!

  •  Hi Marie-Anne! Welcome.
    And not to worry. I'm not fit *yet* either! Hikes are all going to be easy.
    I have some ankle issues, so I'm easing into this also!

  •  Hi Marie-Anne and welcome to the group. I notice that you have "Mah jong" as one of your interests; I love Mah Jong and it is always my pleasure to teach and play that delightful game. Hopefully we can see you at one of our meetups soon!

  •  Any idea how much tickets are? I'd like to bring a friend also. Who do I contact about getting a second ticket. Do we get tickets prior to the event or at the door when we meet up?
