Bigger idea

Making friends as an adult in Vancouver isn’t easy.

Maybe you’re new to the city. Maybe your friends are settling down, busy with work, or live in different cities. Or maybe you’re simply looking for people who are excited to say yes to plans.

This isn’t a dating event.

It’s for people looking to build genuine, long-term friendships through shared experiences and seeing familiar faces over time.

The idea is simple: instead of meeting once and never seeing each other again, let’s build a group that keeps showing up.

This is probably for you if

• You’re in your late 20s or 30s.
• You enjoy getting outside more often than staying in.
• You’re looking for a few meaningful friendships rather than hundreds of acquaintances.
• You’re kind, open-minded, and happy to say yes to new experiences.
• You want people who might actually show up again.
• You’re okay coming solo, because most people will.

This is not about instant best friends. It’s about creating the kind of low-pressure, repeatable social space where friendship has a chance to grow over time.

The bigger idea

If this works, we’ll keep building the series:

• Beach sunsets
• Outdoor movies
• Hikes
• Pickleball
• Volleyball
• Paddle boarding
• Road trips
• Festivals
• Camping
• Spontaneous after-work plans

Small note

Come solo.Seriously. Most people will.
