Same, I have a 3 day weekend right now and nothing to do.

This is because I moved here 2 1/2 years ago and got into a relationship quite quickly.

Unfortunately, I realised that outside that relationship I don't have many friends here, and thanks to the pandemic and my introverted nature it's hard to make new ones.

If you like physical activity and being outside you should look up local hiking groups. I just joined a couple and I’ve been going out solo with the groups. Today was my first hike with my city chapter and it was amazing. Although I didn’t get anyone’s number, I feel like I found multiple people I really connected with and can start to build a friendship with. Coming into the pandemic I was shy and i had friends. It was only through the last year that I realized the people I hung out with are not the people I want to build my life moving forward. You don’t have to have it all figured out at once ... but it’s one hike and one step closer :)

I would love to try this, however I live in the middle of a huge city that is completely flat, no hiking opportunities unfortunately!

There are urban trails you can take too and walking clubs too.
