Whether you're new to the city or a lifelong Bostonian, this is a group for anyone who wants to explore and learn more about Boston.
I grew up in Massachusetts and I moved to Boston last year. I started this group to meet other people who want to explore the city for great restaurants, shows, exhibits, tours, etc.
There are no limits.
We can be on Newbury Street for Brunch one afternoon or hit a local dive bar in the South End later that evening.
I work in the hospitality (hotel) industry and I've learned so much about the Boston restaurant scene at work. Everyone is welcome to join.
If you're new to Boston this group is a great way to meet new people and experience everything Boston has to offer.

The Dana to Petra Trek w/ bonus of Wadi Rum! A Jordan Discovery Adventure..
Boston Logan International Airport, Boston, MA, USOur Meetup group is off on another thrilling hiking adventure to exotic faraway lands! This time, we are trekking in Jordan, where breathtaking views of sandstone cliffs, narrow gorges, and vast plains unfold against the backdrop of the Great Rift Valley.
The Dana to Petra trek, also known as the Dana Wadi Trail, is one of Jordan's most renowned hiking experiences. It takes us through a diverse range of landscapes, offering a mix of natural beauty, historical significance, and cultural encounters.
The trek begins from Dana village, a charming and ancient small town, known for its stone houses and traditional architecture. It is located in Jordan's largest nature reserve - Dana, which also gives the name of the trek. The Dana Trail spans a variety of ecosystems, from lush woodlands to arid desert.
In addition to the amazing hiking experience, our Meetup trip provides a unique cultural exposure. We will have the opportunity to interact with local Bedouin communities and even stay in a Bedouin camp, experiencing their hospitality, traditional food, and way of life.
The trek culminates in the ancient city of Petra, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Entering Petra from the "backdoor" via the Monastery (Ad Deir) is a unique experience, offering a less crowded approach to this iconic archaeological site.
The actual trek from Dana to Petra covers approximately 50 miles and it will take us 6 days. The trek is considered moderately challenging, with some sections requiring good physical fitness due to rugged terrain and long distances.
The whole trip, however, is 12 days as we are spending some time sightseeing and visiting some of the amazing tourist spots of Jordan. In addition to Petra we will see Amman, Madaba, Mt Nebo, Dead Sea and Aqaba at the Red Sea.
Limited size to 24 attendees total. This trip will fill up extremely quickly.
