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?

Depending on your interests, chess may appeal. There's generally plenty of clubs around, and you have the social aspect of an activity with the learning curve of a hobby. Lots of clubs organise on Facebook. If you want to play rated games there's generally a fee (to pay national dues), but if you're happy just playing internally it's usually free.

Feel free to ask if you've any questions about how it works/is set up near me.
