From strangers to friends - Locals meet expats
Details
I'm excited to host the 29th edition of Strangers to Friends! Every event so far has been warm, fun and full of great connections. So we’re doing it again!
Curious about our previous events? Check out our photo albums (only visible on the laptop version of Meetup).
### What to expect
1. A relaxed, welcoming evening where you don’t have to make the first move. Whether you’re new to the city, want to meet locals and internationals, or simply enjoy good conversations with interesting people, I make it easy for you to connect.
2. No awkward small talk or wondering who to approach. I organize the evening so you can simply show up and meet people. We start with conversation cards that pair you with someone you don’t know. Every 20 minutes, you meet someone new and the questions help you get beyond the usual “What do you do?” and “Where are you from?”.
Fun conversations about personal growth, philosophy and life. Within an hour, you’ll have had several genuine conversations with people you might never have approached yourself.
3. Everyone comes on their own and that’s exactly the point. so you don’t have to worry about finding your way into conversations. You can just relax, be yourself and see who you connect with.
