Moving to Marina Del Rey from Boston in one month. Advice on how to make friends quickly? Any clubs or classes I should join?

about me: 27F working a 9-5. I don’t drink much but I will if i’m in the mood. love 🍄, music, i’m a little boujee but tend to gravitate more towards the artsy crowd, I like people with unique interests and hobbies. I run sometimes and love being outside

Recently moved from Boston to west LA here too!

27M also working a 9-5, LA is spread out so it’s been tough - I just signed up for local HIIT classes + Meetup and have met a couple people that way, but honestly haven’t felt super comfortable here yet

Try to get into routines that get you going to events. Sunday farmers markets are a thing. The mar vista one has more of an artsy vibe, though brentwoods is the bougie crowd. There are also coed sports going on at Venice and SaMo beach. Trivia on Wednesdays at local bars.. etc
