No pressure, no plan. Just new friends. Weekly get together to meet, chat, and create connections with other curious peeps. 🙋♀️🙋♂️ View who else will join this event on our Facebook page No pressure, no plan—just new friends ✨ Whether you’re visiting Edinburgh for the first time, recently relocated, or simply love connecting with curious people, this weekly meetup is the perfect way to share stories, make friends, and go explore, as a group, the magic that Edinburgh has to offer 🏴 What to expect? • Casual & hostless: no formal host, no schedule: just show up, be yourself, meet fellow solo travellers & expats and decide as a group where you feel like going • Central meeting point: it is surrounded by cultural landmarks, cafes, and restaurants, making it a convenient and safe starting point. • Open to everyone: whether you are a local, an expat or just passing through for a few days, you are welcome to join. (English is the primary language, but feel free to switch of course) How to talk with strangers? (and create meaningful connections) To help you get started, I curated a little game of ridiculously good questions you can ask to break the ice, shift the conversation from dull to intriguing and fun, and eventually create meaningful connection quickly. I hope this helps! The only things you need to do are… • Leave a message in the comment section to let the others know that you will actually be there (I don’t want you to end up alone there :) • If you can’t make it anymore, no problem! But please update your RSVP to let the others know • Please be gentle and patient with each other. We all want to make good friends here. Why join? • Meet open-minded travellers and locals who are keen to connect, learn and have fun together. • Experience Edinburgh... as a group. • Be part of a global community that celebrates solo travelling and meaningful connections between foreign and locals. How does it works? 1. Arrive at the meeting spot at the scheduled time. 2. Look for other joiners—friendly faces and curious explorers. 3. Introduce yourself, connect with others, and decide as a group where to go. When & where? • Day: every Sunday • Time: 4:00 PM local time • Location: in front of the Adam Smith Statue Hostless: I am setting up the event for you all to meet, but I am not there myself, so don't wait for me :) Hi my name is Pierre, I created this Meetup group because I want to see more human connection happen in the real world. I feel many of us want this, but don't exactly know how to go about it. I hope this helps a little bit. I also work as a coach: I help people who feel stuck in their life to reconnect with themselves, create real change and ultimately live more fulfilling lives.
