 I want these local Meetups because I've traveled around the world exploring ancient sites (Yonaguni, Chichen Itza, China's secret pyramids, Cat Island's Long Rocks, Jerusalem) and like to discuss the topic with others interested in the same topic

 I stared Aikido in college at a Yoshokai dojo (http://www.aikidoyoshokai.org/). I have been training at a Yoshinkai dojo (http://www.nyyoshinkan.com/), which is all most, but not quite the same. Looking to meet other Aikido people!

 Hello:D I am a 28 year old who loves to explore new ways to see the big world we live in, and the little amazing things we take for granted. Due to the obligations of work I never get to get out of the weeks routine and study what we can't see.

 OK, I'm not a science or math guy (not that there's anything wrong with being either). I'm just a guy who has stared at the night sky for as long as I can remember, always feeling an incredible sense of awe.
