3 tips for going alone in Toronto
- Pick a format with a built-in reason to talk. Talks, workshops, walks and language exchanges give you something to say without small talk. Look for the solo-friendly tag.
- Arrive early. The first ten minutes are the easiest time to join a conversation, before groups form.
- Set your exit. Decide in advance that you will stay for one hour. You can always leave early, and you can always stay longer.
