How do I find people who don’t drink while I’m traveling? (alien.top)

I feel like we have some fundamental value differences so when I find someone who’s like me, I get really happy.

How do I find them?

In hostels 99% of people are actively into drinking

Dating apps, gyms, libraries, coffee shops, parks. I agree with you it is difficult, but I've had success in the aforementioned.

You’ve found success in all of those? What kind of success?

[–] DefaultUser_01@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Success in making friends or romantic partners that match my lifestyle.

Meeting people in the gym lead to gym friendships and girlfriends that prefer to exercise/be healthy than party.

Meeting people in cafes/coworking locations lead to coworking friendships and groups of entrepreneurs.

Dating apps where I strictly look for partners that don’t drink/party/drugs lead to exactly that (the adventure/explorative type of relationship).

Libraries may be the best (if you like to read). Striking up a conversation with a nice person over what type of books they read is very fun! I’ve gone on coffee/tea dates to discuss books with women I’ve met at the library.
