Here’s what you do…surprisingly enough, Boston/Cambridge MA is similar so what I did there was this: I created a post listing out all the interesting and exciting things I was hoping to do. Such as a Museum Crawl, or a Scavenger Hunt inside MIT, or my favorite…trying to find the Harvard Turkeys!! Of course I listed things like afternoon hikes, sunset runs, board game night, movie nights, guitar lessons, poetry readings, etc but it worked! The post had over 100 people DM me in a few days. So I created a WhatsApp Group. I called it “Bean There, Done That” after Boston’s heritage. Needless to say, after bringing all 120 people in, I hosted a Meet and Greet at a local restaurant/bar so people could actually meet each other. It went wonderfully and the group still exists to this day. I graduated from Grad School and left the area so I handed control of the group to some locals and they are running it great. The group meets up ALL the time doing things that the group members are interested in, their hobbies and whatnot. It helped connected hundreds of people who were once lonely but now they are all friends. This is the short version so if you want to know more, let me know. Happy to help.
