What's your experience making friends in your late 20s-early 30s in Charlottesville? Do you think I'd like it here based on my interests?
Hi everyone, I'm 29f about to turn 30 and might move to Charlottesville. I'm wondering about making friends there/enjoying the city in general. (I'm coming from Asheville, which I love, but I have an opportunity to live rent-free for a while in Charlottesville, which I really need right now.) I'm into health and wellness, nature, and spirituality. I love animals and plant based/plant forward foods and enjoy seeing live music at smaller or outdoor venues. I'm hoping to travel a lot more in the future as well. I like doing activities during the day in the winter mostly, but will go out later in the summer. I'm not into partying or drinking (but still go to bars and breweries for the vibe). It's important for me to have some nice trails nearby to go for my daily walks. Do you think I'll like it in Charlottesville and could make some friends/find like minded people there?
