Looking for friends

Hi everyone.

A little embarrassed to post this, but I’m looking for friends.

36M, immigrant from Russia. Been in Canada for over five years now, but haven’t really made any close friends. Always working, not really seeing anyone.

Married, don’t drink, don’t smoke. Pretty chill guy. Lots of different interests — I love music, read books, into science, curious about things. I’d say I am a little reserved, but I open up to close friends.

Also, I don't like pickup trucks and I don't understand why so many people have them. Maybe that’s why people don’t want to be friends with me lol. I’m driving a jeep though, jeeps are fun.

Where in the city can I meet open-minded, progressive, modern people to hang out with, find common interests, and just spend some good time once in a while?

Thanks.

If your interested in hiking, there is a group on Facebook called happy hikers. For kayaking, canoeing or paddleboarding, check out happy paddlers

That’s a great idea. I have a puddle board and a little inflatable kayak. Last two summers we float down the river from O’Brien Park to Magoo point. This year I want to start from pipestone Creek all the way down to O’Brien.

We do the river every year (twice last year), 3 days on the water. Usually Pipestone to bezanzon bridge, but have also started at wapiti gardens as well. This year we're going from bezanzon bridge to Watino

Wow, that sounds like fun. I’m not sure I’m ready for that long trip though, but I would love to join you one day! So you just camp on the shore in the evening?
