Moving to a new country or city involves many efforts and concerns about the new destination. Among the things that usually weigh the most is to leave our acquaintances and where we can meet new people. In this post we will give you a few ideas.
Facebook Groups
Facebook groups are the best place to connect with people, both before and during the stay in the new location. These groups also allow you to interact with people who are already in the city and to learn about the frequently asked questions about that place.
You can also get specific groups in the city according to the interests or characteristics of each person, such as sports, nationalities, studies, pets, etc., thus being able to get friends who already share interests from the beginning.
And if you do not get the group, you can always create it and attract people who are looking for groups and thus increase your acquaintances.
Language exchanges
There are already established groups with regular meetings in cities to practice different languages, whether locals wanting to improve a foreign language or foreigners wanting to learn the language of where they are.
These meetings usually are in restaurants or bars and are organized by the language they are going to practice. They are in a relaxed environment and more focused on creating bonds while learning, not only languages, but also about cultures and people.
Language academies, dance, painting etc
Group activities are always a good place to meet new people and generate a group feeling, before or during arrival in a city. You can search for places that teach classes on topics of your interest and registering once you are there so that you can relate to people in your class who in turn will relate to others, thus increasing your social circle.
Jobs
If you move to another place for work reasons, your first link with the local society will be your colleagues. Do not hesitate to relate beyond work issues and encourage activities inside and outside the workplace. Your colleagues will always seek to integrate you and it will help you to expand your acquaintances.
Dating apps
Currently there are different geolocated dating applications that allow you to interact with people around you. Although its purpose is to search for couples, progressively more people are using it to meet people in general, even more when they are new in the city.
