About us
How to make new friends in this urban jungle? Simple. We are Jakarta Friends. Everyone is welcome to join the community.
We are the biggest, first, most active, and most inclusive MeetUp community in Jakarta... and we invite you to join us!
Jakarta Friends is the community to meet new people while doing unique activities in Jakarta. We eat and drink together, play board games, talk business, socialize, have potlucks, do language exchanges, explore the city by walking and culinary tours, and much more!
Together with the group Jakarta Writers (which mostly focus on storytelling) we are all about authentic connections in an uncomplicated and informal setting.

Together, we are creating an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome. This community is a convergence of people and cultures.
Over the past 3,5 years, with Jakarta Friends & Jakarta Writers we have had over 250 events with about 2,000 attendees! Everyone should always feel welcome to join disregarding from their ethnicity, nationality, religion, creed, age, language skills, gender identification, sexual orientation, background, ability, income, social status, or any other arbitrary trait.
We have a yearly membership fee to join our events. This is explained in detail in every event description. The membership fee is not expensive and gives access to all events, while guaranteeing that hosting events remains sustainable for the organisers. There's much more value to members in a yearly fee than in an event fee.
We guarantee to keep organising plenty of events and the fee is refundable if the group closes down or if there are no events for more than three months. You can attend the first event for a sneak peek price!
You can also connect via chat and social media:
- Join the WhatsApp community for announcements: https://chat.whatsapp.com/BR0sC0BrPbc9xTqvj1qLfx
- People who have attended one event in person can request to join the Community Chat on WhatsApp. This is a safe space free of spam, harassement, and unwelcome online behaviours!
- Follow us on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/jakarta.friends.creatives/
If you are interested in activities related to creativity and the arts, feel free to **join the group Jakarta Writers (former Jakarta Creatives) 👉🏼 https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-writers/** With Jakarta Writers we organise events related with storytelling including writing sessions and workshops, writers' clubs, book clubs, book swaps, silent reading events, and many more!
We look forward to meet you at a next event!
