Are you an Onyxbird? "What's that?", you ask. That's my term for people of african heritage (i.e., african, african-american, afro-caribbean, afro-latino, afro-european) who love to spread their wings and travel to unusual, unexpected and interesting places. The Onyxbird also thrives on cultural exploration and tends to be socially conscious. Unfortunately, Onyxbirds tend to fly solo or as a pair. Very rarely are "flocks" of Onyxbirds spotted in China or Argentina or Finland or New Zealand. The …

As teachers who love to travel, we’re interested in saving this group!! Our plan is to organize monthly gatherings where teachers can socialize, share war-stories, and ideally, make connections with other people who like to travel and have the same vacation schedules. We’re not necessarily planning to organize any trips at the moment, but rather to provide a means for teachers to network with each other. If at any point someone is interested in organizing a trip or other adventure, however, the …

I'm planning on doing a "round the world" trip starting ideally this spring or early summer (of 2013). I have traveled alone before but sometimes it just more fun when traveling with someone else and lets face it, it can get a little lonely along the way if alone. So, I wanted to find others that are as passionate about traveling as I am but more specifically others who want to do a global trip (or even partial global) that may last a matter of months, at the least, up to 1 year or a year and a …

A vegan meetup is where vegans (whatever their PHILOSOPHY about being vegan) and vegan-oriented persons (NOT "tire-kickers" who come "to gawk at the vegans") with similar interests get together and hang out.  If you TWEET, we instantly become a TWEETUP. Because of our array of motives, some focus more on diet alone, while others are concerned with an integrated world-and-life view.  We're a diverse lot, so we'll meet LOTS of folks whose interests are somewhat different from our own, but who shar …

Divorced after a long term marriage (18 years), I started up this informal support group to reach out to  others going through divorce-related "stuff" when I was in the thick of things. I needed support myself at the time (still do on occasion, or at least people who get the realities of my life now), and thought that I couldn't be the only person out here in exurbia in the same situation.  Originally when I started the group, I was specifically hoping to bring together those of us who are going …

This is a very social group. It is very difficult to 'plan surf' here in New England, as the surf can be very sporadic. We plan surfing events when possible, but many of our events will be of the social nature including beach clean ups, surfrider fundraiser events, after work cocktail hours, and other even …
