Update: Nijmegen Friendship Group (30+)

Hey everyone,

A little update. A while ago I posted here about starting a meetup group in Nijmegen for people who are struggling to make friends in the Netherlands — especially internationals around 30+ who often feel stuck between work, routines, and the challenge of building a social circle from scratch.

The response was honestly really encouraging. A lot of people said they’re in the same situation and would love a space to meet others in a relaxed, low‑pressure way.

So… I’m planning to organise our first small meetup.

Nothing fancy — just a simple coffee/tea/beer meetup in the city so we can get to know each other and see what kind of group we want to build.

If you’re interested in joining the first meetup or want to be added to the WhatsApp group, just drop a comment or send me a DM. The goal is to keep it friendly, inclusive, and easy for anyone who’s been feeling a bit isolated here.

Let’s make Nijmegen feel a little more like home for all of us.
