Andover Area Dog Lovers Looking For Friends (20-30s)

Andover, MA

Welcome to Andover Area Dog Lovers Looking For Friends! I recently moved to Andover and am hoping to meet new people and make genuine connections with other girls in their 20-30s. I have a puppy golden retriever (Gilligan!) that is my whole world, so looking for other active dog owners that would want to meet up for walks. Ideally, we could do other small group activities as well like coffee meet ups, board game nights, book clubs, etc. I'm don't drink and am not into the party scene, so I'm hoping to find like-minded people that are looking to create lasting friendships through wholesome experiences :)

Outdoor Activities & Conversations

Reading, MA

This Group was created **temporarily** as two paid Organizer subscriptions (rising recently to $300/yr. each) were being merged into one subscription. No activities planned for this group. The **Walking Group** does walks on paved surfaces and light hikes in town forests Northwest of Boston. The **Exploring Group** does somewhat more ambitious hikes Northeast of Boston and may include an occasional bicycling or ski event. Both value social interaction and could end with a gathering at an eatery nearby. You are encouraged to join either of these two groups if not already a member.

Bay State Outdoor Trekkers

Boston, MA

This is a group for anyone interested in hiking and other outdoor activities in all four seasons. The focus is on day hikes within an hours drive of Boston that offer fun outdoor experiences; some in places you may never have known to exist. Our focus is hiking, but we offer other trekking opportunities like kayaking and biking. While all skills levels are welcome, most of the hikes will be at an intermediate level providing an atmosphere conducive to socializing and getting to know your fellow travelers.

"I haven't bothered to go on other hikes even though I belong to other groups - because this one feels like home! Why stray?" Kim

Boston Outdoor Adventures

Boston, MA

We are Boston's number one group for hiking, skiing, biking, snowboarding, and more. We have no cliquey events where only the regulars always get chosen, and every event starts with carpool so nobody is left behind. We are the most inclusive group in Boston for hiking, skiing, biking, snowboarding, and other outdoor adventures. Our group is about the democratization of the outdoors, [so you can be the adventure spark ](https://www.ridj-it.com/adventurespark)without having to go through layers of the usual Meetup hierarchy. Do you want to get out and go skiing but don’t have a ride? We’ve got your back. Have you been dreaming about surfing but can’t make it out to California? We know a secret spot to paddle out, and its way closer than you think. Ridj-it has helped bring thousands of people from the creature comforts of Boston out to adventures of a lifetime all around New England. Ridj-it has taken thousands of cars off the road, and through connecting those without cars with those who have one, we've helped adventurers host over 1000+ events in just a year. Is there a mountain you've always wanted to hike? Drivers and riders can post adventures on Ridj-it at www.ridj-it.com, and then that trip is posted to our Meetup group. Our events include people from Meetup, Facebook, and others, so we're more than your typical Boston Meetup group. [Why do we carpool? ](https://www.ridj-it.com/single-post/2018/02/18/Why-Carpool)We found most other outdoor Meetups were leaving younger residents, people of color, and immigrants behind. By linking our trips to carpool, we make sure everyone has to work together as a team in order to go on events. Many of our hosts don't have cars, and we're proud to have a space where outdoor enthusiasts can slowly democratize access to New England's beautiful mountains, rivers, and beaches. Check us out on[ Facebook](http://facebook.com/ridjit) and [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/ridj_it/), and if you want to know more about Ridj-it, click [here](https://www.ridj-it.com/howItWorks.html).

Comfy Cozy Activities

Boston, MA

Right now this group will start as a book club to talk about a cozy mystery book or book series. Cozy mysteries are easy reads, and though it won't create a ton of deep discussion, it will be enough to start a conversation. Ideally, I'd love to expand "comfy cozy" activities - maybe getting afternoon tea, sitting in someone's porch and drinking lemonade, going on a picnic, watching cosy TV shows or movies etc.
