Social Walk on the Guadalupe Trail
Riverview Park, San Jose, CA, USHi everyone!
Hosting another social walk together on Monday. If you’re wanting to get some steps in and take care of your social health, I invite you to come.
It’ll be a no-frills type of event. If you’re kind of awkward, it’s a good idea to come to put in the skills to hone in on your openness to chat with a stranger (turned friend?!).
We’ll start promptly at 5:35pm and I’m hoping to get there by 5:25pm. I’ll leave a comment the day of of my time arrival.
It’s also a good chance to see the skies as the sun sets and be outside.
That being said, this kind of event is specifically for those who want to build on social connection while being in nature. If there is any kind of inappropriate behavior or you’re making others (and myself) uncomfortable, I will ask you to leave.
Here’s the previous walk/social I hosted. There was quite a bit of a turnout. Not sure what this upcoming Monday calls for, but I am open to seeing :)
Take care and hope to see you,
