Moving to any new location<\/a><\/span> can be stressful and time-consuming, especially if you don\u2019t know anyone in your new location. Because we\u2019re all about stress relief during moves and because we’re experts on the Chapel Hill \/ Pittsboro metro area, here are five ways to meet new people once your boxes are unpacked.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Join a networking group<\/span><\/p>\n

Networking events aren\u2019t always just about advancing your career. Networking events generally attract motivated individuals and people who are involved in the community. Therefore, it\u2019s a great place to start when moving to a new place. You can meet people that are effecting change and move into more social events with the people you like.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Start a club<\/span><\/p>\n

Want to get together with some parents from your kids\u2019 school? Want to get to know some of the people in your company? Start a dinner or book club! If you love to arrange events, it\u2019s the perfect way to get involved with new people. Start by hosting and encourage others to host the next gathering.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Join the Chamber of Commerce<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a great way to meet people\u2014start with some education! Most Chambers will allow you to attend meetings prior to joining and many host workshops and tutorials to expand your knowledge in some arena. Look into joining the event and start schmoozing with the other attendees.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Get out!<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a more entertaining approach, get out and go visit the bars, restaurants and cultural locations in your neighborhood. Leave your iPhone or iPad in your purse.\u00a0Talk<\/i>\u00a0to people once you\u2019re there. If you\u2019re a little shy, invite your most outgoing friend to visit. You\u2019re likely to get into a lot more conversations with that person in tow (and they\u2019re likely to put you more at ease to start a discussion).<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Get active<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in a warmer climate, head to the park with your dog. Dogs are a huge ice-breaker? Don\u2019t have a dog? Try joining a gym or exercise class. Places like Pure Barre, yoga studios and regular gyms are the perfect place to meet people who are active and living nearby.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
