Taipei Spontaneous Social Meetup for Expats, Travelers & Remote Workers
Details
# Meet new people — or don’t. It’s a bit of luck 🎲
(中文資訊在最下方)
If you’re traveling, working remotely, freelancing, or new in Taipei,
you probably know this feeling:
You’re open to meeting new people.
You just don’t feel like walking up to strangers and starting a conversation.
Same here.
Both the AURA founder Hein and I are pretty introverted.
Sometimes we simply don’t enjoy very loud social environments.
Sometimes we want to:
- meet new friends naturally
- sit quietly and do our own thing
- or just be around people without pressure
So we designed this.
### 🎯 What might happen (and what might not)
Let’s be honest:
- You might meet someone interesting
- You might make a new friend
- You might just hang out quietly and go home
There’s no guarantee.
A bit of it is timing.
A bit of it is luck.
That’s part of the fun.
### 🕹 How it works (this is the game part)
This is a no-host event.
No one will introduce you. No icebreakers.
Instead, we use AURA — and using it is required.
When you arrive:
- Sign in at the venue
- Scan the QR code to join the event on AURA
- See who else is here
From there, it’s up to you:
- Send someone a message on AURA
- Wait and see who messages you
- Or don’t message anyone at all
Think of it like a light social game:
low risk, optional moves, no penalties.
### ☕ What the space feels like
1F — Social & Chill Zone
This floor is fully open for socializing.
You can:
- chat freely
- play darts
- grab a drink
- scroll your phone
- play simple board or card games
2F — Co-working Area
A quieter space for:
- working
- reading
- sitting quietly
You can move between floors anytime, depending on your mood.
### 🌱 Why this helps
This works well if you:
- want a chance to meet new people, without pressure
- don’t enjoy loud or crowded meetups
- like having both social and quiet options
- want human connection, but on your own terms
Sometimes you leave with a new contact.
Sometimes you just feel less alone for a few hours.
Both are wins.
🕒 Time:
Every Tuesday, Thursday & Sunday · 4:15–7:00 PM
(You’re welcome to stay longer)
(I’ll be there on Sundays.)
📍 Location:
Tea Bar · 5-minute walk from the MRT
🎟 Entry:

If you’re looking for guaranteed socializing or structured networking,
this isn’t that.
If you’re okay with a bit of luck —
and letting things happen naturally —
come try it.

# AURA 自然遇見 · 台北
可能認識新朋友,也可能不會,一切看運氣 🎲
###
如果你正在旅行、遠端工作、接案,或剛來台北不久,
你大概很熟悉這種感覺:
你願意認識新朋友,
但並不想主動走向陌生人開啟對話。
我也是。
AURA 創辦人 Hein 和我都偏內向,
有時我們真的不喜歡太吵的社交環境。
有時我們只是想:
- 自然地認識新朋友
- 安靜地做自己的事情
- 或單純待在人群中,但不被打擾
於是,這個活動就這樣誕生了。
### 🎯 可能會發生的事(也可能什麼都不會)
說實話:
- 你可能會遇見有趣的人
- 你可能會認識新朋友
- 你也可能只是靜靜待著然後回家
沒有保證。
有一部分是時機,
有一部分是運氣。
這正是它有趣的地方。
### 🕹 活動怎麼運作(這是它好玩的地方)
這是一個 沒有主持人 的活動。
現場不會有人介紹彼此,也沒有破冰遊戲。
取而代之的是 AURA ——
而且 使用 AURA 是必要的。
到現場後:
- 先在入口簽到
- 掃描 QR code 加入 AURA 活動
- 查看同時在場的人
接下來完全由你決定:
- 你可以先在 AURA 上傳訊息
- 也可以等別人傳訊給你
- 或整段時間都不和任何人互動
把它想成一個輕社交小遊戲:
低風險、可選擇、沒有壓力。
### ☕ 空間氛圍
一樓|社交 & 放鬆區
一樓完全開放社交。
你可以:
- 自由聊天
- 打飛鏢
- 喝一杯
- 滑手機
- 玩簡單的桌遊或卡牌遊戲
二樓|Co-working 區
比較安靜的空間,適合:
- 工作
- 閱讀
- 安靜坐著
你可以依照當下的心情,自由上下樓。
### 🌱 為什麼這樣的活動有幫助
這個活動適合你,如果你:
- 想認識新朋友,但不想被逼社交
- 不喜歡吵雜、擁擠的聚會
- 喜歡同時有安靜與社交的選擇
- 想要人與人的連結,但掌控在自己手上
有時你會帶著新聯絡方式離開。
有時你只是覺得沒那麼孤單。
兩種都是好的結果。
🕒 時間:
每週 二、四、日 · 4:15–7:00 PM
(可待更久)
*週日我會在現場
📍 地點:

如果你期待被安排好的社交流程,

讓事情自然發生,
歡迎來試試。
