Meeting people in Palmerston, answered
How do I meet people in Palmerston?
Pick something that repeats every week and go twice. This week there's also Palmerston parkrun and International Men's Day Morning at Goyder Square.
Can I go on my own?
Yes: everything here is the kind of thing people go to alone, from trivia nights that put you on a team to walking tours where everyone's a stranger at the start. The weekly nights at hotels and hostels are open to everyone, not just their guests.
I've just moved to Palmerston. Where do I start?
Choose "I live here" above: your first month in Palmerston, planned one week at a time, then the weekly nights, because going back is how strangers become friends.
