About us

An international meetup group for those interested in outdoor activities & socializing in Utrecht!

What can you expect?
We are a community active for 2 years now, with our aim being to have an outdoor-related activity at least once every 2 weeks!
From park meetups to long walks & hiking. Anything related to the outdoors is a potential meetup event for this group!

Here's a list of our activities currently ongoing: ✌
- Picnic gatherings [Most of spring, summer, and early autumn]
- Summer-themed picnic & BBQ gatherings [During Summer months]
- Hiking excursions [All year round! 😁]
- Trips to other cities/areas/museums/festivals [All year round!]
- Potential events popping up after chatter in our group's Whatsapp community

Do you have ideas or thinking of organizing an event that matches this group? Then feel free to reach out to an organizer!

Tryout experience Argentinian Tango Slot #3
Wed, Sep 9 · 6:15 PM CEST
Buurtcentrum Sterrenzicht, Keerkringplein 40, 3582 PM, Utrecht, NL
Most dances are well represented in Utrecht, especially salsa/bachata/kizomba in the expat community. One of those exceptions is Argentinian tango, which (as many may know in the community), I've been dancing for a while now 😊

Maybe you had as a bucket list item to try a new dance out, or maybe you've seen others dance tango and you were curious to try it out, or perhaps you want to see what is this thing that I'm (constantly) talking about. In any of these cases, here's a chance to try out this wonderful dance or at least use the chance to have an outdoor get-together in a different setting than usual.

This event is through the Utrecht Tango Cafe Milonga community (also organized by Constantinos)
More info --> https://www.utrechtcafemilonga.com
(We have group courses soon!)

Essentials:
- There are 3 dates you can choose from. 20th, 24th, 25th. RSVP for the dates you could join. with enough people (in or out of meetup), events are confirmed. Of course I let you know in advance 😊
- The meeting point is at Buurtcentrum Hoge Weide
Laurierweg 104, 3541 RB Utrecht
https://maps.app.goo.gl/hsbpUnfdPtE1VJSN7
- The 25th Jan tryout is from 14:00 to 15:30
- Completely free 😊 (the event is being done to bring more people in the community)
- You can come alone; ideally, it's best to come with a dance partner
- Bring comfy shoes or (ideally) shoes you can pivot with

If you have any further questions, feel free to message the host

Depending on the time & weather, and whether people are up for it, follow-up drinks can always follow later that day.

To those interested, I hope to see you there! 😄
