What if you are new to town, don’t know anyone and want to make some new friends?
Going out by your self can be very intimidating especially if you are shy and aren’t a social light.
For now, Google will be your best friend! First, what do you like to do? For me, when I would move to a new town I would start by writing a list of things I enjoy doing.
- hiking
- non-profit work
- art
- sports
- cooking
- gym
- wine
This is a picture of me when I first moved to Los Angeles. Burton Morris, an artist I appreciate, had a showing in LA. I decided to check it out and met some amazing people.
With this list I would type in Google:
- Popular places to hike in Los Angeles: I found Runyon Canyon, Topanga State Park Trail, and Griffin Park Trails
- Non-profit work Los Angeles: Plenty of opening with the red cross, working with children with disabilities, feeding the homeless etc.
- Los Angeles art… Then I look at the options list that is given by Google on the scroll. The first one on the list is Los Angeles art walk downtown LA.
- Los Angeles sports activities: The first website you are able to look up adult sports leagues for every sport imaginable!
You get the idea… So if you are new to LA or any other town you now have plenty of things you can get involved with and know how to meet tons of new people! Shy or not, you will be doing what you love and meeting people with the same hobbies! xxx <3 A&L
