I recently moved to a new city and don’t know anybody here yet.

I want to try out some things and meet new people and avoid sitting at home all day (but sometimes is ok)

My ideas are hiking, volunteering and reading. What would you recommend? Any good ideas?

    Disc golf. Low bar to entry, many free courses.

    Martial arts are also a great outlet. Many have forms practice on their school sites.

    Great way of learning an area is going for a walk and filling in questions for street complete, it’s an app which let’s you improve open street map. The data isn used in loads of places especially cycling apps where things like road surface are useful.

    Sounds boring but it’s actually really interesting

    Volunteering is a great idea, will also help you network work wise while looking for a job.

      Yeah, I’m already helping on a local farm. But i don’t think I’ll find any leads for a job from the people there (i mostly do tutoring and software engineering)

      I’m not sure what would be good other places to volunteer. A museum maybe?

      I tend to be kinda superficial with people i don’t know though. I would love to be better at getting to know people and making friends.
