● Join a local Event. Search for events in the local area… and attend! Usually these<br />

events attract a mix of locals and foreigners.<br />

● Hangout. This is a new app designed to help you meet up with nearby people.<br />

Think of it as the Tinder for local friends.<br />

Tips: People get lots of messages and requests on the site, so write thoughtful,<br />

personalized messages with the knowledge that they might not reply. It’s not that they<br />

don’t care, just that they get busy.<br />

2. Meetup.com<br />

Just like the name implies, this site will help you meet up<br />

with other people. The site is nice because it’s<br />

interest-based. Search for a nearby group, find an event that<br />

looks fun… and go!<br />

3. TalkTalkBnB.com<br />

This is like couchsurfing, but with languages! Stay with a host for free in exchange for<br />

talking with them OR learn Spanish with native speakers in exchange for hosting them<br />

yourself.
