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?

Yeah, I’m already helping on a local farm. But i don’t think I’ll find any leads for a job from the people there (i mostly do tutoring and software engineering)

I’m not sure what would be good other places to volunteer. A museum maybe?

I tend to be kinda superficial with people i don’t know though. I would love to be better at getting to know people and making friends.

You might be right there. And likely you will be put in a more social position. Lots of practice. I’ve definitely become more reclusive since COVID and should heed my own advice. 🧐

Yeah. Even before COVID I was not really a talkative person. But with everybody quarantining, even I felt like I needed more social contact.

Normally I wouldn’t even post that much to reddit or Lemmy. But now I try to do it a bit more. I would like to become better at expressing myself and talking my mind

I like the community here. It feels more personal.
