It can be a challenging and unsettling experience starting over in a new place no matter what your age.
I hope that I can give you five suggestions that can be helpful.
Join Meetups
These Meetups start online and can easily be found onMeetup.com just search by your interests.
There are organizations from wine tasters, sports enthusiasts to social causes.
It is not hard to find a meetup that suits you.
Once you join online, you will be invited to physically meet others in your meet up choice.
This should not be confused with joining a club.
Join a club
What is your favorite hobby?
There are also clubs that are oriented around parents and found children.
These areMommy and Me clubs.
Some people like religion oriented clubs that have lectures on art and other issued that will concern your religion.
Some of these gyms have little cafes where members can snack, have lunch, and socialize.
Some of these gyms have pool exercise programs.
If you have a disability that impairs your walking, the pool fitness program is a great equalizer.
Get a Dog
It will surprise you how much attention you attract when you are out walking your dog.
Not only will you attract people without pets you will attract other pet owners.
Your dog will let the world know that you are a loving, compassionate person worth getting to know.
Dogs are excellent conversation pieces and ice breakers.
You and your new friends and fellow dog owners can help each other become excellent pet parents.
You will also be surprised what other interests you and your fellow dog owners share.
Take a College Class
You do not need to apply to a large university.
Somewhere in your new city, there is a community college.
you’re able to even learn how to dance.
There will plenty of time to cultivate a new friendship or several.
I have shared with only five of the many different ways to make friends.
