🍹 International Aperitivo in Isola: Drinks & Piazzetta 🍸
📌 **What**
Enjoy Isola like a true local! 🍹✨ Join us for an international Friday night aperitivo in true Milanese style: zero stress, no assigned tables, just good company and piazza vibes. How it works: we’ll meet first at **Lucky Bar** to break the ice with a drink. Once the group is formed, we’ll all walk together (it’s only 150 meters!) to Piazzale Archinto to continue the evening in the heart of the nightlife scene, standing chats, relaxed mingling, and strategic refills at Vinyl or the other bars around the square.
❗️The Meetup team will not be present. Please use the [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JmcfvNMmnxkJ4UY1Ok0y6R) to connect and coordinate with the other participants. More details below.
📌 **Who**
It’s an international aperitivo welcoming both locals and expats who want to meet new people in an easy, informal way. Whether you’re new in Milan or just looking to expand your circle, this is the perfect relaxed and friendly setting.
📌 **How**
1. RSVP to join the event.
2. Join the [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JmcfvNMmnxkJ4UY1Ok0y6R), essential for coordinating (“We’re at Lucky,” “We’re moving to the piazza”).
3. Please keep your RSVP updated on Meetup 🫶

Aperitivo and Hang-out in English
Hello everybody,
I usually look for events on Saturdays but I can hardly ever find any, so I asked myself, "Why don't I organise one ?" The idea is to meet at **Next Bar in Via Crema 7** (Very close to P.ta Romana underground station / yellow line) at **18:00** and hang out there for some time. You can also enjoy drinks and eat for 13 Euros (p.s. the buffet is mind-blowing).
Guests are required to buy their first drinks upon entry.
I kindly encourage you to RSVP during the week if you can.
I really hope to meet you on Saturday! Don't worry if you can't see many people who've RSVPed, the event is advertised on other platforms, so there will be plenty of people to mingle with.
When you get there ask for **Riccardo**.
Feel free to WhatsApp me at **+39 334 283 1963**
During the event, you'll have the opportunity to join our WhatsApp group by scanning QR codes displayed on the tables to stay in touch.
Looking forward to a great time together!
Best regards,
Riccardo

🏐🏝️ Milan Sunday Indoor Beach Volleyball | Casual | Mixed Low-Intermediate

1. **Only active members of our volleyball group can join until further notice/invite.**
2. **RSVP by Saturday, and please confirm only if you can commit.** We can’t accept unconfirmed drop-ins or show-ups at the court.
3. If you’re unsure whether you can make it, contact Ellie by Saturday. Please don’t rely on the waitlist, as last-minute spots may not be possible to fill.
**What to expect:** we’re a casual, low-intermediate group. Most of us have played before, but this is not a training session or a highly structured game setup, the goal is to have fun, stay active, and enjoy good games together.
* Casual 5v5 or 4v4
* We warm up first, then teams will be assigned on court
* Court: covered
* Arrive 10 minutes early so we can start on time
**Important:**
* If you’re looking for a more competitive or structured setup, these regular games may not be the best fit, feel free to organize separate sessions with others or reach out to Ellie 🤞
* Please be respectful: **arrive on time, rotate when asked, and keep a team-first attitude** so everyone gets a solid run.

Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions
[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations.
If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!).
**HOW IT WORKS**
**Step 1: Bring a topic**
Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event.
**Step 2: Circle up & share**
We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds.
**Step 3: Walk, talk & float**
We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!"
**Step 4: Feel more alive**
Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times.
*For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)*
**HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC**
A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about.
Recent topics include:
* "What are you passionate about right now?"
* "What makes a good friend?"
* "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?"
* "How do you want to be remembered?"
* "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?"
Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter.
**WHAT TO EXPECT**
This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.*
But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here.
**FAQ**
* Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk!
* We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space.
* We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space.
* Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know.
* Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic!
**LOGISTICS**
* If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event.
* This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs.
* Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details.
* If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋
**IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...**
[The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up.
* This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).
