What we’re about
I search for diverse and enjoyable experiences throughout NJ (and sometimes beyond)! Activities vary from heart-pumping adrenaline rushes, physical challenges, peaceful exploring, trying new food and excursions, and spending a night out for entertainment. I'm very open minded and I love meeting new people of all ages and backgrounds, so everyone is welcome here. I don't charge dues.
I'm down for anything, so suggestions for meetups are strongly encouraged. Just message me an idea or thought, and I'll do my best to set up a fun event for you :-) Please try to keep your RSVPs up to date and accurate because sometimes reservations are required. Unless I say otherwise in the description, feel free to bring guests as long as I have a heads up about how many people will be joining. This should go without saying, but everyone is responsible for their own safety while in the group. I do what I can to minimize the risk of danger and choose venues with solid reputations.
Thank you to everyone that has shared experiences with me so far, and I look forward to having fun times with all of you :-)
Upcoming events (3)
See all- Mount Tammany sunset hike 🍁🌅 [Moderate/Hard]Mt Tammany Red Dot Trailhead Parking, Columbia, NJ
This will be a moderate to hard hike for experienced hikers, but the view is worth it! I haven't been to Mount Tammany this time of year, so it will be nice to experience the fall foliage.
BRING A HEADLAMP as the hike back down will be dark. Hike will start promptly at 4:00pm, and parking is limited, so please come early. We will be taking the Red Dot Trail up then the Blue Dot Trail back down. Sunset will be at 6:02pm, and the goal is to get to the peak before then.
Afterwards (optional) we can cross the Delaware and have some food and bevs in East Stroudsburg, PA.
Hike details:
- 3.6 miles
- 3.5 hours estimated time
- 1,213 ft elevation gain

Mount Tammany via Red Dot and Blue Dot Loop Trail - Karaoke, Paint and Sip! 🎤🎨🍷Canvas & Grapes, Edison, NJ
Didn't know such a place existed until recently! Combining karaoke with the classic paint & sip format is a novel experience! The music leans heavily hip-hop and R&B, and the lounge gets rowdy! Definitely check out their Instagram or their Vibe page to see if it's something you're into.
The cost is $55 per person and it's BYOB. When booking, make sure to enter "AAN" as the group name so that we can all sit together. Book early since these events sell out fast!

It's the ultimate 3hr paint and sip experience, and we wear the crown! Take the stage and unleash your inner superstar while you paint, sing, dance, and have the time of your life. We make it super easy, even if you have never touched a paintbrush before!
Our newly renovated lounge gets packed with good vibes, music, comedy, entertainment, light shows, and more. While you paint, you'll jam to iconic beats that we carefully customize for the many diverse groups in the building with us. It's not just a paint and sip; it's a full-blown live experience like no other!
All our events include our pro-grade art materials, including an XL stretched canvas and high-grade acrylic pigments prepared for you the night before the event. This event also includes our live step-by-step instruction, DJ/host, live entertainment, production effects, light shows, and more.

https://www.theclaypotpottery.com/wine-and-wheel.htmlKeep in mind you'll have to come back in 3 to 4 weeks to pick up your finished piece!
*Reenactment of the Ghost pottery scene not required.
From their website:
Each participant will have the option of making a small bowl, small vase or small plate with the help of our potter. Your piece will be painted the same day using engobes - a colored liquid clay available in limited colors.
Once dry your piece will be fired in our kiln. Finished pieces will be available for you to pick up according to the date given you on your Pottery Pick-up Card Shipping of your finished piece is available (shipping fee applies).
Our potter will first show you the steps involved in throwing a piece of clay on the wheel. Then will work with you to create your own special piece. Your piece will then be heated and dried to prepare it to be painted and during this time, you will have time to practice the wheel on your own.
