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?

    Cycling. You can get decent bikes second hand for pretty cheap. There’s no better way to get to know an area than by cycling. Provided, of course, there are reasonably safe roads and cycling paths available.

    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.

    I make money off survey apps in my free time. I know you’re looking for activities outside of the Internet, but while it’s a grind, I’ve made 5K off survey apps over a couple of years, and haven’t paid for anything on Amazon in three years. I am happy to tell you all about it. I imagine the money would be welcome.
