How did you meet people for days off after moving?

I moved from the UK to the US, and finding people to actually do things with on days off was harder than the move itself.


Not big networking events — more weekend plans, short trips, or using a public holiday without spending it alone.


How did you find your group after moving?

And where would you send a newcomer who wants low-pressure ways to meet people on free days?

Hi,

I am Daniel.

I am from Hong Kong.

And I am planning to move into American because my mother's hometown is Toronto.

I think this is an important problem for us.

Sometimes, to be alone is so bad, i think.

Hello Dr_Smoot. Welcome to the expat.com forum.


Not sure whether you're aware but Toronto is in Canada, not America. It is the capital city of the province of Ontario. Toronto is ~2,500 km from Houston.
