How to Make Friends in a New City Using Event Apps Like Aavo

Making Friends in a New City
So you’ve landed in a new city—job secured, rent sorted, maybe even unpacked the essentials. But when Friday rolls around, the silence is loud. You scroll, order food (again), maybe rewatch a comfort series. Everyone else seems to be “out there” laughing at gigs, brunching, making memories. And you’re left wondering… Where do people even meet these days?

Adulting Is Great Until It Isn’t

Gone are the days of bumping into people at college fests or having dorm mates who eventually become your crew. As adults, we go from structured social environments to—well, nothing. Making friends now feels like dating—effortful, awkward, and a little bit weird. But what if it didn’t have to be?

Friendship Starts with Shared Spaces

The best friendships rarely begin with a cold "Hi" on an app or a random LinkedIn DM. They start in the middle of moments. Laughing at the same joke during an open mic. Trying to figure out a new board game together. Reaching for the last slice of artisanal pizza at a food fest.

That’s the magic of real-world events—they give friendships a chance to unfold naturally.

Why Aavo Works for the Socially Curious

Aavo is built for exactly this—helping you step into the scene, rather than watch from the sidelines. No matter what you’re into—stand-up, literature, workouts, music, crafts—there’s probably something happening nearby.

Just open the app, set your vibe, and choose from a curated list of events. Most are casual, community-led, and open to solo attendees. Some are even designed for people new to the city. It’s discovery-first. Impulsive, if you want it to be. And happening, always. Aavo doesn’t just find you a plan—it finds you people.

Events That Make Friendship Feel Easy

Here are a few gems perfect for making your first city friend:

  • 🎲 Board Game Cafes & Game Nights: Fun, low-pressure, and great for group interaction.
  • 🎨 Sip & Paint Sessions: You don’t need to be an artist—just willing to try and chat.
  • 🚶 Community Walks or Heritage Trails: Great for conversations without forced sitting-around.
  • 🍕 Hyper-Local Food Crawls: Bond over shared love for momo stalls and quirky cafes.
  • 📚 Book Clubs & Poetry Circles: Ideal for thoughtful souls who prefer slow-paced connections.
  • 🎶 Live Gigs & Jam Nights: For music lovers looking to vibe over sound instead of small talk.

Each event gives you more than just a thing to do—it gives you people to do it with.

You’re Not the Only One Looking

The coolest thing? You’re not alone. Loads of people attend these events solo—students, remote workers, young professionals, creatives—all open to meeting new faces. Often, all it takes is showing up, smiling, and saying something as simple as, “Hey, this is my first time too.”

The First Step Feels Big But It’s So Worth It

That stranger sitting next to you at a comedy night? Could become your Sunday brunch buddy. The guy you bumped into at the flea market? Might know of three more cool events this week. The girl sketching beside you? Could turn into your next travel partner.

Final Thought

📲 Download Aavo, explore your city, and take that first step—because your new circle might just be a few events away.
