How to Make New Friends in Brisbane—Become a Part of the Happy Community

Moving to Brisbane can be both fun and intimidating at the same time, but the latter is only until you have made friends and integrated yourself into society. This article offers you several solutions for making friends and settling down faster in Brisbane. Check out some top tips on how to meet people and develop lasting relationships in Brisbane.

1

Get Online and Get Connected

Having a long-standing relationship with your laptop may not be a healthy option but you can certainly use your computer to develop lasting friendships, especially in Brisbane. The place has a large and popular selection of meet-up groups that are web-based. You can join several groups online depending on your interests; hiking, cycling, photography, adventure seekers, and even WordPress addicts all have active groups in Brisbane. Explore the groups and join one, on one of their meeting days, to get to know people with similar interests as yours. It’s all very healthy and the perfect platform for meeting people if you have no friends and no one in Brisbane to introduce you around. The group meet ups are ideal for losing the loneliness factor and enjoying the company of people you can form lasting bonds with. The groups are ideal even if you are in Brisbane on a shorter working stay. Check out the hotel accommodation Brisbane CBD has on offer, and you can easily meet up in between the weekends, or when you are free from work obligations. Popular hotels like Oaks Brisbane Festival Suites are examples of the comfy and convenient few.

Be Friendly at the Workplace

People in Brisbane are open and friendly, and the office is a good place to get acquainted. Break the ice with a friendly hello, until you make friends and start getting invited out for after-work drinks or you are comfortable enough to ask out a friendly colleague for drinks at the local pub; do not come across as being too pushy, wait until you feel that people have warmed up to you and be open and friendly. When you can, accept the invitations for parties and dinners and try to make friends with a bunch of people in the office instead of just sticking to the lot you work with. Use your lunchtime to smile and say hello and maybe someone will ask you over to join them. Avoid sitting alone with your lunch evading eye contact. Let people know you are approachable.

3

Join a Spirituality Group

These groups are very friendly and caring towards strangers who are setting up in Brisbane. You can try searching for a spirituality group that shares your same beliefs and join one. There are bound to be plenty of people in your age group who are ready to accept you and make you feel comfortable and at home.

4

Join a Volunteer Group

There are lots of volunteer groups in Brisbane; if you head over to the area around Bridgewater Terrace, you will discover several volunteer group operations. Look for one that piques your interests and join to engage in satisfying and meaningful work as well as meet people with the same caring disposition as you. Volunteering is a good way to get to know the locals even if you are on a short stay in Brisbane.

5

Join a Gym

Avoid sitting at home and overeating just because you are new in town. Head on over to the nearest gym, even if it is the one in your hotel and you are bound to make friends. There are lots of other places too; for instance, you can join adventure clubs to enjoy hikes and explore Brisbane and its surroundings with a bunch of fun and active locals.
