What are some activities which are free or inexpensive that I can do to entertain myself / keep good mental health while searching for a better paid job? (sh.itjust.works)

I recently moved to a new city and don’t know anybody here yet.

I want to try out some things and meet new people and avoid sitting at home all day (but sometimes is ok)

My ideas are hiking, volunteering and reading. What would you recommend? Any good ideas?

I get on Google maps and start looking for places to explore. No idea what it's like in your area, but I've found all kinds of neat places hardly anyone knows about, all within an easy hike.

How do you find the interesting places to explore though? I feel like google maps is very good for searching specific things, but when I just want to look around there are too many irrelevant locations. And as far as I know, there is no option to filter out specific things (like don't show restaurants or retail stores for example)
