What we’re about

[New Organizer & Updated Group] Sidequesters is a community for curious people to explore new ideas, share experiences, and meet others in Lisbon - without needing to fit into a box.

You don’t have to be just an entrepreneur, foodie, expat, digital nomad, local, creative, or runner. If you’re curious, open-minded, and like trying new things - you’ll feel right at home here.

We call ourselves Sidequesters because life is more interesting when you step off the main path. A sidequest can be anything that takes you somewhere new:

  • Starting a new hobby (photography, painting, hiking)
  • Exploring a new career or business idea
  • Trying a new experience (dancing, improv, cooking)
  • Discovering a new place (hidden streets, trails, neighbourhoods)

Sidequesters Lisbon is for people who want to explore, connect, and share these adventures together.

Our events range from relaxed socials to active experiences:

  • Casual Drinks & Socials – Meet new people in a relaxed setting
  • Book & Clothing Exchanges – Share stories and style
  • Workshops & Skill Swaps – Learn something new (or teach!)
  • Walks & Runs – Move, talk, explore
  • Dinners & Tastings – Connect over great food or drinks

Come for one event or many. Bring a friend or come solo - you’ll always be welcome.

We believe the best connections happen when different people, ideas, and experiences collide - no labels required.
