Make Friends, Not Small Talk: Deep talks, Coffee, and Good Vibes✨
🇪🇸Español Abajo 👇
**☕️ Coffee Talk: Where Conversations Are Stronger Than the Coffee ☕️**
Had enough of awkward small talk and silent social gatherings? This is your chance to break free. Join us for a night of meaningful conversations about life, dreams, existential crises, and why we keep procrastinating our goals.
**🔹 What to expect?**
✔️ Thought-provoking questions (but not too deep, we promise).
✔️ Interesting people with zero interest in discussing traffic.
✔️ Interactive dynamics that push you out of your comfort zone—without feeling like a job interview.
If you're ready for an evening of deep conversations, great coffee, and a dash of sarcastic humor, save your spot before you regret it (again).
📍 **Where?** Diletto – Perón 4217 (because coffee without great conversations is just wasted caffeine).
💰 **How much?** $5,000 ARS / $5 USD (yes, genuine connections have a price, but they’re worth every cent).

**☕️Coffee Talk: Donde las Conversaciones Son Más Fuertes que el Café☕️**
Si ya tuviste suficiente de las mismas charlas de ascensor y los silencios incómodos en reuniones sociales, este es tu evento. Aquí venimos a hablar de todo lo que realmente importa: la vida, los sueños, las crisis existenciales y por qué seguimos procrastinando nuestras metas.
**🔹 ¿Qué puedes esperar?**
✔️ Preguntas que te harán pensar (pero no demasiado, prometemos).
✔️ Gente interesante con cero ganas de hablar del tráfico.
✔️ Dinámicas interactivas que te sacarán de tu zona de confort sin hacerte sentir en una entrevista de trabajo.
Si estás listo para una tarde de conversaciones profundas con café en mano y un toque de humor sarcástico, reserva tu lugar antes de que te arrepientas (otra vez).
📍 **¿Dónde?** Diletto – Perón 4217 (porque el café sin buenas conversaciones es solo cafeína desperdiciada).
💰 **¿Cuánto?** $5.000 ARS / $5 USD (sí, las conexiones genuinas tienen su precio, pero valen cada centavo).

* Location: in Plaza Italia (in Palermo), in front of the statue of Giuseppe Garibaldi.
**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.

Survival Mode - Dolly Sods - Winter Backpacking - 20 miles round trip
**IMPORTANT - READ**
This is a by law 10 person limit capacity trip, If you are NOT 100% committed please do ***NOT RSVP***
**Survival Mode Winter Backpacking**
The Dolly Sods Wilderness — originally simply Dolly Sods — is a U.S. Wilderness Area in the Allegheny Mountains of eastern West Virginia and is part of the Monongahela National Forest (MNF) and one of the most desirable trekking areas for the free bird and adventure spirit.
A legend from the 1800 say: "In Randolph County, Virginia, is a tract of country containing from seven to nine hundred square miles, entirely uninhabited, and so savage and inaccessible that it has rarely been penetrated even by the most adventurous.
The settlers on its borders speak of it with a sort of dread, and regard it as an ill-omened region, filled with bears, panthers, impassable laurel-brakes, and dangerous precipices. Stories are told of hunters having ventured too far, becoming entangled, and perishing in its intricate labyrinths.
The desire of daring the unknown dangers of this mysterious region, stimulated a party of gentlemen . . . to undertake it in June, 1851. They did actually penetrate the country as far as the Falls of the Blackwater, and returned with marvelous accounts of its savage grandeur, and the quantities of game and fish to be found there."
Dolly Sods is a rocky, high-altitude plateau with sweeping vistas and lifeforms normally found much farther north in Canada.
To the north, the distinctive landscape of "the Sods" is characterized by stunted (“flagged”) trees, wind-carved boulders, heath barrens, grassy meadows created in the last century by logging and fires, and sphagnum bogs that are much older. To the south, a dense cove forest occupies the branched canyon excavated by the North Fork of Red Creek.
The name derives from an 18th century German homesteading family — the Dahles — and a local term for an open mountaintop meadow — a "sods".
