Join us at Nomad House for an easygoing afternoon designed to help newcomers connect, hang out, and feel at home — followed by an open deck to close the day. [Sign up as a DJ for the open deck](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc4xV6kUN9ISBmfR5ZSDJp0mRqKZLQ_zs1-wQzAbqVy6jIw5Q/viewform?usp=header) We’ll start with a casual New in Town meetup, where you can meet other people who are also new to the city (or just open to meeting new faces). No pressure, no formal networking — just good conversations in a cozy space. Around 15:00, we’ll order pizza together, so make sure you arrive on time to let us know what you like 🍕 After hanging out and getting to know each other, we’ll smoothly transition into an open deck session, where anyone can play music and keep the vibe going into the afternoon. This event is perfect if you: • Just moved to the city • Want to meet people in a low-key, friendly setting • Enjoy music, community vibes, or just feel like dancing • Are curious about the BENE-FIT community 📍 Location: Nomad House 🎶 Music: Open Deck ⸻ ⏰ Event Schedule 14:00 – Arrival & New in Town Meetup Arrive, grab a drink, meet other newcomers, and settle in. 15:00 – Pizza Order We’ll order pizza — make sure you’re there to choose your favorites. No worries about payment pizza is on the house🙏 15:00 – 17:00 – Hangout & Conversations Relaxed social time, meeting people and enjoying the space. 17:00 – Open Deck Starts Music takes over and the afternoon flows into an open deck session. 22:00 – End of event 🫶 First time attending? This event is very first-timer friendly. Many people come alone, and there’s no expectation to “network,” pitch, or know anyone beforehand. You can join conversations at your own pace, grab a seat, and simply enjoy the atmosphere.

**No pressure, no plan—just new friends** ✨ Whether you’re visiting Barcelona for the first time, recently relocated, or simply love connecting with curious people, this weekly meetup is the perfect way to share stories, make friends, and go explore, as a group, the magic that Barcelona has to offer 🇪🇸 **What to expect?** • **Casual & hostless**: no formal host, no schedule: just show up, be yourself, meet fellow solo travellers & expats and decide as a group where you feel like going • **Central meeting point**: it is surrounded by cultural landmarks, cafes, and restaurants, making it a convenient and safe starting point. • **Open to everyone**: whether you are a local, an expat or just passing through for a few days, you are welcome to join. (English is the primary language, but feel free to switch of course) **How to talk with strangers?** (and create meaningful connections) To help you get started, I curated a little game of **[ridiculously good questions](https://www.pierrebonvalot.com/theblog?p=285a9711d7df80d5ac25dd4ef8fe5394&pm=c)** you can ask to break the ice, shift the conversation from dull to intriguing and fun, and eventually create meaningful connection quickly. I hope this helps! **The only things you need to do are…** • Leave a message in the comment section to let the others know that you will actually be there (I don’t want you to end up alone there :) • If you can’t make it anymore, no problem! But please update your RSVP to let the others know • Please be gentle and patient with each other. We all want to make good friends here. **Why join?** • Meet open-minded travellers and locals who are keen to connect, learn and have fun together. • Experience Barcelona... as a group. • Be part of a global community that celebrates solo travelling and meaningful connections between foreign and locals. **How does it works?** 1\. Arrive at the meeting spot at the scheduled time\. 2\. Look for other joiners—friendly faces and curious explorers\. 3\. Introduce yourself\, connect with others\, and decide as a group where to go\. **When & where?** • Day: every Sunday • Time: 4:00 PM (meetup sometimes displays a different time zone: but it’s always 4pm local time) • Location: in front of the "Brau meditant" statue If you're the first one to arrive, feel free to write to the others using the comment section, so you don't miss each others. **Hostless**: I am setting up the event for you all to meet, but I won't be there myself this time :) **Hi my names is Pierre** I created this Meetup group because I want to see more human connection happen in the real world. I feel many of us want this, but don't exactly know how to go about it. I hope this helps a little bit. I also work as a transformational coach: I help people who feel stuck in their life to reconnect with themselves, create real change and ultimately live more fulfilling lives. 🔗 bento.me/pierrebonvalot

Early-bird coffee and conversation at [Java Central Café and Roaster](https://javacentral.coffee/)**!**

First attempt at this. If it's good, we'll do it again. If it sucks, we tried. (Event photo is from a recent trip to Flagstaff. Stock photos of fake people drinking coffee are the worst.) **Why I'm doing this:** You're the average of the people you spend the most time with. Running a business solo means I've been spending most of my time with myself. And AI tools, which are great for thinking through business problems, but terrible for actual human connection. I want to raise that average. Looking for people who want real conversations. Not networking, not pitches, just the kind of talk that makes you think differently about what you're building and why. If we all end up making a few friends along the way, even better. **What to expect:** Coffee. Conversation. No pitches, no elevator speeches, no going around the table introducing ourselves like it's a corporate icebreaker. Just show up and talk like a normal human. **Ground rules:** * No pitching your business * No recruiting * No MLM talk * No hustle porn **RSVP cap:** 6 people max so it doesn't turn into a crowd. **Location:** Transcend Coffee & Roastery in Grove City **Time:** Friday, January 16th at 11 AM. See you there!

Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations. 
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that. We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus. 
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn. 
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play. 
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders… 
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords… 
IMPORTANT: 
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for. 
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.
