Moving to a new country is an exciting experience. Different culture, new streets lined with beautiful buildings, exotic food and unfamiliar people. The desire for discovery is in his element. When the excitement of new love has subsided you often start to ponder how everyday life will be. How do I find new friends? Where can I take up a hobby?
The worldwide organization Meetup can answer both questions. With 216,771 groups in 180 countries, it is the world’s largest network of activity groups. Here you can participate in sports activities, language exchange or just have a beer on a Friday night. If the goal is to make friends, or take up a hobby it does not matter. Twenty-three million people participate in Meetup worldwide where people meet to socialize and pursue their interests.
So how does it work? When you enter the, website meetup.com, you can search for the city you are in and it will then show all the Meetup meetings that are nearby. To participate, you must become a member, which is free. As a logged in member, you can choose which areas you are interested in and thus join the recommended groups. If you find something that fits press “Yes” under “are you going” and then just show up at the place and at the time specified in the group information. Maybe you will find a neighbour who is passionate about the same things as you.
In Kyrenia for example there is the Group social meetup Kyrenia, which was formed in October this year. Under the tab “We’re about”, the group describes itself as, among other things, “eating, laughing, talking and exploring the local area”. Group Nicosia Wellness through Nutrition Meetup organizes group training and health advice in Nicosia. Here you can see more Meetup groups in Cyprus.
If you cannot find an activity that suits you can easily create your own group or get updates when new groups are formed.
