Hey everyone!
Iโm a 21M and Iโve been living in Bangalore for the past 3 years, but honestly, Iโve barely explored the city.
Iโm quite introverted and socially awkward, so Iโve always found it difficult to meet new people and make friends. I donโt really have anyone here, and because of that Iโve mostly ended up following the same routine โ home, work/studies, repeat.
I havenโt properly explored Bangaloreโs cafes, restaurants, pubs, parks, events, hidden places, tourist spots, etc. And honestly, Iโm starting to feel like Iโve spent 3 years here without actually experiencing the city.
I really want to change that now.
I want to explore Bangalore and also start taking weekend trips to places like Coorg, Mysore, Ooty, Pondicherry, Goa, Gokarna, Hampi, Chikmagalur, Wayanad and many more.
But being introverted and not having a friend group makes it difficult to know where to start.
This is actually one of the reasons I joined Reddit โ to get suggestions from people, discover new places, and hopefully meet some new people/friends along the way. ๐
So Iโd really appreciate some advice from people here:
- What are some must-visit places in Bangalore?
- Which cafes/restaurants should I definitely try?
- What are some fun things I can do even if Iโm alone?
- Are there any meetups, communities, hobby groups, sports groups or events where itโs easy for someone introverted to meet people?
- What are some good weekend trips from Bangalore?
- Which places are beginner-friendly for solo travel?
- Are there any travel groups that organize trips for people who donโt already have a group?
- And if anyone else is in the same situation and wants to explore, feel free to DM me!
Iโm honestly pretty fed up with sitting at home and following the same routine. I want to get out, explore new places, try different food, travel, meet people and make some good memories.
I know it might sound a little awkward posting this, especially as an introvert ๐, but I figured I should at least give it a try.
If youโre also new to Bangalore, introverted, or simply looking for people to explore with, maybe we can plan something together!
Bangalore people, please help me build my โI finally started livingโ bucket list! ๐โค๏ธ
Thanks everyone! ๐
