Are you single and would like to explore an area or a destination? Although, it's fun to explore on your own, you might feel more comfortable visiting a new area with a group. If the people who are around you aren't into traveling, or if they never seem to have to time to visit places that you'd like to see, why not join a MeetUp group? Meetups are made up of people of similar interests who gather together for a variety of reasons. If you live in or near a mid-sized city, there are probably several different travel Meetup groups that you can join.
I've been to Meetups at restaurants, performances, and I even went on a hiking Meetup as a novice hiker. It was fun to step out of my comfort zone, meet new people and visit places that I wanted to see, but never seemed to have the opportunity to visit or have people around me who wanted to go.
The beginning of a new year is an opportune time to make plans and keep them. Stop making excuses and seek out opportunities to explore areas around you. Is there a state park that you've always wanted to visit? Do you want to try camping? Is there a play that you'd like to see? Maybe you always wanted to take a touristy city tour to see the sights in a city near you. The great thing about Meetups is that once you find a group of travelers, you can make suggestions for destinations and have a built-in crew to travel there with you.
