What we’re about
This meetup is a collective of creative and curious souls who want to be inspired by the world and each other. Whether it’s a visit to a Museum in New York, a concert in Princeton or watching the sunset on a junk in Ha Long Bay, we can share the wonders together.
A little about me…. I’ve been a professional photographer for over 18 years. I’ve actually been designated a Master photographer by the Professional Photographers of America (PPA). I am one of the few women to have this distinction. I’m also a lover of travel, food, art, music, theater and great conversation! This group should satisfy my many pleasures. I presently also facilitate Princeton Fine Dining also. Whether you are a painter, a writer, a photographer, a musician, a gourmet, an architect or just someone who enjoys all the wonders and culture of the world, please join me. You may reside in Princeton or San Francisco; it really doesn’t matter. This group is about travel, beauty, culture and camaraderie.
Join me for the adventure.

See all- Annual Holiday "Thank You"Link visible for attendees
Well, it's that time of year for your opportunity to say "Thanks" to the Art of Wander. This year it would be especially appreciated. Meetup has doubled their price to $400/year!!!!! YIKES! As you know, unlike some groups, this is not a profit making venture for me. It is for friendship, fun and shared pleasures. Talk about price gouging! Guess everyone is getting in the act. Meetup says it's because it's improvements to the technology! Throughout the year I'm asked how you can say thanks and make a donation to support our group. I just like to open it up to donations during this holiday season. There is a yearly fee meetup and I also pay for a professional Zoom account so we can have chats. I also use Zoom to discuss trips we might be planning. It can get a little pricy, but I definitely get back from it.
If you would like to make a donation You can send what you like by either PayPal to [email protected] or you can also send your donation via Zelle to [email protected]
I want to thank you all for your friendship and the community we share throughout the year. I get so much back from my meetup groups. Sharing such wonderful times with kindred spirits. It makes life better.

So excited to see this wonderful new Play! It's the story of Gene Wilder (Young Frankenstein, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory) and Gilda Radner (Original Cast of “Saturday Night Live”) were in love, but the story doesn't end there!
Journey through the lives of these two famous comedians – from the day they fell in love to turbulent changes in their careers to a sad, sudden goodbye.
This heartfelt comedy lets audiences spend a night with two legends who found love and laughter in even the darkest of places.

- Winter Solstice at PJ's Pancake House and TavernPJ’s Pancake House and Tavern, Robbinsville , NJ
It's the "Wanderers" warm and wonderful tradition to share the longest night of the year. We have always gone to Bahama Breeze. The sad news is Bahama Breeze in Princeton has closed their doors for good. Sad! Anyway, I'm changing our location to PJ's Pancake House and Tavern in Robbinsville.
The Winter Solstice marks the shortest day and longest night of the year and for those of us with S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder) the season of hibernation is at it's peak. The good news is, the days will start getting longer after tonight and it's only a matter of time before Spring is here again. That's something to celebrate!!!! Instead of crawling in bed by 7:30 and falling asleep, why not join me at PJ's and celebrate this longest night. More importantly lets celebrate the fact that days will be getting longer again!
PJ's in Robbinsville is not just for breakfast. They have a diverse casual all day menu including pizza and bar snacks. They also have full bar services, offering beer, wine and cocktails! Perfect for our celebration. You can check out some of their menu here: PJ's menu
This is a very popular so I'm going to get a reservation for 16 of us. If you get too tired and want to stay in your cave, please let me know ASAP, as PJ's will be saving a spot for you. Respect your reservation!
So take off those PJ's hand head on down to PJ's. Let's celebrate together that the days will be getting longer! It's only a matter of time!
