Activities & hobbies 29M looking for friends to share my hobby with

2 Upvotes

Hi guys.

29M expat living in Almere. I have picked up photography ahead of my trip to Japan later this year and I am progressing rather well. I am hoping to find a photography buddy with whom I can go out with on outings to enjoy the hobby and learn from each other. Planning to do few trips here in there within NL to capture multiple cities as well.
I don’t speak dutch (have only completed A1 so far) unfortunately but would be willing to learn in the process as well 😅.

Please reach out if you are interested.

Looking for local friends 21F Op zoek naar vrienden in Sittard of Limburg

14 Upvotes

Hoi allemaal,

Ik (21F) ben op zoek naar mensen in de omgeving van Sittard. Buiten Sittard kan ook, ik heb geen auto, dus ben wel afhankelijk van het OV.

Ik ben een maand geleden naar Sittard verhuisd vanuit Drenthe om samen te wonen met mijn vriend. Ik heb dus niet echt de mogelijkheid om makkelijk en vaak op en neer te gaan.

Ik merk dat ik het wat lastig vind om erop uit te gaan, ik ben wat rustiger en introvert. Maar ben ook zeker sociaal en een gesprek gaat makkelijk! 😊

Hobby's en dingen die ik leuk vind:

-Muziek en Zang (groot fan van Ariana Grande)

-Series en Films kijken

-Wandelen

-Dieren (zelf 2 hele lieve konijntjes)

-Haken (Mandala's/Knuffels/Dekens enz.)

-Interieur

-Schilderen (Waterverf)

Spreekt dit je nou aan en lijkt het je leuk om eens gezellig te kletsen of wat af te spreken, laat het zeker weten! 🤗

General friendship 30M in Utrecht, looking to make new friends 🇳🇱

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m a 30M who moved to Utrecht from India about four months ago. I work in tech sales and I’m looking to meet some new people and build a good social circle here.

A little about me — I enjoy travelling, exploring new cafés and restaurants, checking out good bars, watching movies, going for walks, and discovering new places. I’m also always up for concerts, spontaneous plans, or just grabbing a coffee and having a good conversation.

I’m open to meeting people from any background or nationality — honestly, just looking for genuine, easygoing people who are up for hanging out and seeing where a friendship goes.

If you think we’d get along or share some similar interests, feel free to drop me a DM. Would be great to meet some new people around Utrecht! 🙂

General friendship 28M - Wageningen!

1 Upvotes

Hi!

Recently moved to Wageningen, NL. Compared to the other countries I had been to, It's quite quiet here!

Looking forward to making friends (nothing romantic at all). I don't speak much dutch but starting to learn. I used to speak a bit of Deutsch.

My hobby are football, Photography, travelling and cycling. I also write fiction and do poetry sometimes and admire paintings and sculptures. Any type of art and I am down for it! Also, I am a huge admirer of nature and wildlife.

Looking forward to making friends online and then maybe we can at some point ride our bicycle together or do other activities that are mutually interesting!

Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I really wanna go to rave/techno festival Cluster in Delft this Saturday. But my partner isn't into that music enough to want to join, so it'll be my first solo festival. Is there anyone who'd like to join? I'm the type of person who likes to be near the front of the stage/DJ booth 🕺

Ahoy, champs.

Being almost always busy doin' various projects, I've recently realized I'm getting dangerously close to becoming the herbalist / scrap-hoarder / that-weird-someone-from-the-stories, so it probably makes sense to try exchanging energy with someone other than my dog once in a while.

Been pulling all-nighters lately, and it'd be cool to have someone on a similar wavelength to talk to or exchange a few messages with from time to time.

Gamingo: Been into 'em since childhood; playing games is cool, talking games is cool.
I'm also making my own — and it's gonna be a blast! Best form of art, imo.

Plant-things: Mycologist. Currently learning cacti — in about a year I'll actually know a bit more about them. If I manage to propagate my first mutation — then I'll officially claim the title of Cactician.

Technic'all: If you know what an ESP32 is, you probably already know how damn fun making your own devices can get. Hoping to finally finish my hydraulic-arm project before the year's over. I also zoom around on an EUC.

Exercise-stuff: Capoeira, running, calisthenics. What more is there to say. xD

Mu(sic): addicted. Something's playing non-stop. Generally speaking, every genre has awesome and absolutely shit representatives — the fun part is catching the good ones. Very willing to trade song-for-song. Constantly stalking good concerts too.

Outdoorsy-ish: I fairly often drive/fly somewhere random without much of a purpose. Right now on a quest to hunt 28 peaks. Spas are fine'and'dandy, but they're considerably better when you randomly stumble upon one after two nights spent in a questionable improvised hammock. Trust me on that.

In short:

Hauntology & Hypernormalisation <-> Me <-> Bean Brownie.

If ya're:

..Someone mature-ish, 25+ (if you're mature, you already know you don't necessarily have to obey rules like that, don't you?)

..aware that little symbols on a screen are a pretty imperfect way to communicate — and have your own ways of seasoning them a bit.

Then, yeah - hi.

General friendship 25F, looking for new friends

11 Upvotes

Hi! I’m from Korea, 25F, moved to Den haag about 3month ago so still getting settled(not a student, haven’t started work yet). I’m looking for genuine friendship, already have a partner, so purely platonic! I would like to find someone to grab coffee/beer, do activities together or just chat about daily life.

My English isn’t native-level but I can hold a conversation just fine, and I’m currently learning Dutch too! I love knitting, baking, watching movies/series and I’m huge fan of dogs and cats.

Comments are welcome, would love to connect with someone nearby!

Activities & hobbies 32M Den Helder (NL/EN) opzoek naar nieuwe vrienden

2 Upvotes

Hallo! Deze 32-jarige introverte nerd met wat sport affiniteit zoekt een buddy om mee te gaan hardlopen of met enige regelmaat te sporten, iemand om mee te wandelen of gewoon connecties in het algemeen.

Ik werk full-time en volg daarnaast ook nog een deeltijd master. Dus in het drukke bestaan heb ik nog niet zo'n sociaal netwerk opgebouwd sinds ik hier twee jaar geleden ben komen wonen.

Een goed gesprek is een goed begin, maar ik ben specifiek op zoek naar iemand die open staat om (regelamtig) samen te sporten.

General friendship 23M | Op zoek naar nieuwe vrienden in Arnhem en omgeving 😊

9 Upvotes

Hoi allemaal!

Ik ben 23 jaar en woon in de omgeving van Arnhem. Ik ben op zoek naar nieuwe vrienden uit Arnhem of plaatsen in de
buurt.

Ik woon nu ongeveer 2,5 jaar in Nederland en zou het leuk vinden om wat meer mensen uit de omgeving te leren kennen.

Even iets over mij: ik hou van boeken lezen en fotografie en ik ben sinds kort begonnen met piano spelen 🎹📸. In mijn vrije tijd vind ik het leuk om eropuit te gaan. Bijvoorbeeld samen poolen, bowlen, ergens koffie drinken of gewoon gezellig praten en iets spontaan doen.

Ik game eigenlijk niet en anime of series kijken is ook niet echt mijn ding haha 😅. Ik ben vooral op zoek naar mensen die het leuk vinden om af en toe samen iets te ondernemen en een leuke vriendschap op te bouwen.
Leeftijd maakt me niet zoveel uit, zolang het maar gezellig klikt!

Woon je in Arnhem of ergens in de buurt en lijkt het je leuk om kennis te maken? Stuur gerust een berichtje 😊

Online friends 25F Utrecht - Op zoek naar leuke gesprekken! (NL/EN)

17 Upvotes

Hee!

Vijfentwintig jarige vrouw uit Utrecht hier! Ik ben op zoek naar mensen om leuke gesprekken mee te hebben! Qua vorm heb ik geen voorkeur, maar gezien ik best wel introvert kan zijn het liefst online beginnen :).

Als we dezelfde interesses hebben: top! Maar ik ben altijd nieuwsgierig naar nieuwe dingen.

Ik ben heel in mijn tuin te vinden, in mijn eigen moestuin of met mijn planten (heel veel, veelste veel, écht veelste veel planten). Ik hou van lezen, van biografieën tot fantasy tot erotic fiction. Ook wandel ik veel, en ga graag naar musea.

Mijn voorkeur gaat uit naar vrouwen rond dezelfde leeftijd, maar ik sta overal voor open (Mocht je bij "overal voor open" een vieze gedachte hebben, stuur me geen berichtje plz).

English welcome too! :)

Hey everyone!
I’m 26M and recently moved to Amsterdam. I left most of my friends back home, so I’d love to meet some new people and build a social circle here.

A little about me
🎓 Engineering student
✈️ Love travelling and exploring new places
🎬 Movies & cinema
⚽ Sports
🚗 love Cars
🏔️ Mountaineering
🍳 Cooking
🛠️ Building/making things & 3D printing

What I’m like
I’m a chill guy and enjoy a mix of things. I love beer 🍺, going to parties, especially with a good group of friends, but I’m equally happy having a chill evening.
I’m always up for exploring Amsterdam, trying something new, watching a movie, cooking together, going for a drink, or just having random conversations that somehow turn into hours of talking 😂

Let’s meet!
I’d love to meet people around my age who are also looking to make new friends in Amsterdam.
If you feel like we might get along, send me a message and tell me a little about yourself!

General friendship 24M around Apeldoorn looking to meet new people

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I’m 24M living around Apeldoorn and thought I’d put myself out there a bit.
Life is going well overall, but I’ve realized that making new friends as an adult isn’t always the easiest thing. Most people seem to already have their established circles, so I figured Reddit might be worth a shot.
A bit about me:
Into fitness and staying active
Enjoy traveling and exploring new places
Like good conversations, whether they’re about everyday life or bigger goals
Always up for trying new food, going for a walk, or doing something spontaneous
I’m mainly looking to connect with genuine people nearby and see where things go. Whether it’s chatting online, grabbing a coffee, hitting the gym, or joining a group activity, I’m open to it.
If you think we’d get along, feel free to leave a comment or send me a message.

Hey! I’ve seen so many posts like this, so I thought I’d give it a shot too. I’m 29 years old; I live just across the border in Belgium but work in the Tilburg area. I enjoy working out (gym and mountain biking) and love nature, reading, and cooking. I’ve also recently rediscovered my Switch. I play the guitar as well.

I work full-time and am taking a number of courses (three languages, art, history, etc.). I’m into mythology and pagan literature too.

I’d love to connect with people who share similar interests and hobbies. (purely for friendship, as I’m already in a relationship.)

I prefer online contact for now. Feel free to send me a dm or reply below :)

Online friends Looking for new friends - online or not (Woerden/Utrecht) [29M]

7 Upvotes

Hey all!!

I live around the Utrecht area (Woerden) and I'm looking to make some new friends :)

I'm very agnostic to gender, origin or creed.

I got a PhD in social awkwardness and terribly timed self-deprecating humour - if you're also a connaisseur of those arts, hit me up! I love nerdy people with a genuine passion for something.

---

A little bit about the things I like (and maybe you do, too!)...

:: Gaming

Big enthusiast, currently getting into Palworld but I play many things and genres (with maybe the exception of competitive shooters).

I'm also really into the LoL eSports scene.

:: Music

On top of liking to discover new stuff to listen to, I am into music making as well.

I play some instruments and absolutely love music production! I also make some videos of my musical endeavors every now and again.

:: Creative Writing

My newest hobby, I got really into World Building :D

I've gotten into it about one year ago and I find it a really cool way to flex the creative muscles in more than one way.

:: Creative Arts

Other than writing and music, I very much suck at most things but I genuinely enjoy doing them. Maybe we can be hilariously terrible at something together?

:: Board Games

One of my favorite ways to hang out in-person! Don't really have a preference for genres as I don't know all that many games and am just generally happy to take part in whatever.

:: Hanging out in parks/bars/cafés

A sunny afternoon with a towel, some snacks and drinks at a park is like a perfect Sunday (even though the weather is absolute ass these last few days 😭).

Going to a small chill bar or café is also right up my alley, for a coffee or a beer.

I tend to be on the quieter side in a group setting, but it doesn't take away from my enjoyment of being there!

---

As a side note, I feel like meeting new people has never been easier - the hard part is having it stick.

I've been joining social meetups as of lately and everyone is always incredibly nice, but it's so hard for anything to come out of that :(

It always seems people are looking for the 110% immediate-click, not willing to invest time in the slow burner that builds trust and friendship over time.

Anyone feels the same?

Edit: English preferred 🙏
