Hash house harriers. Changed the whole way I meet people now. I travel 6 months a year mostly south east Asia.

Google hash house harriers along with the name of the city are travelling. Omg. I’m in Nha Trang Vietnam and this was recommended on an expat site. For about 11 dollars Canadian it’s unlimited beer , water bottles , watermelon and a different dinner at the end of the walk. (My group here are walkers). Shared bus out to the countryside or generally areas most tourists would never be able to find. The group ( an average weekly turn out of 30-65 people are a mix of locals….expats….tourists. Everyone is welcome. It’s a hysterical group. There are many rituals at the end of the walk. Fantastic way to get a good walk in and meet new people. They bill themselves as drinkers with a running problem. Again my group is walkers. And no not everyone drinks. It’s not a pub crawl.
