- Pick your area and interests. It takes about a minute, in your phone's browser.
- Meet your circle. When circles open, we introduce you to 5 people near you who like the same things and are free at similar times.

Making friends in Victoria: a short guide
Victoria is small, walkable and friendly, but it has a few quirks that make adult friendships slower: a big share of retirees and students, a lot of people who moved here as couples or families, and a laid-back pace where plans can drift. Once you're in, though, the city is small enough that you'll keep running into people.
Walk, swim and hike with others
The waterfront, Dallas Road, the regional parks and the lakes are where people spend their free time. Walking, running and swimming groups are easy to find and a natural way to meet the same people regularly.
Go to the small stuff
Markets, community centre classes, library programs and local events draw the same regulars week after week. In a city this size, being a familiar face is half the work.
Follow up quickly
Victoria's relaxed pace means 'we should hang out' can stay a nice idea for months. Suggest a time and a place while it's fresh.
