It started with a thought: maybe this would work better together.

Joanna and Lucien met in Regent Park in London right before the pandemic. It was the kind of meeting that rearranges a life. A little more than a year later, they were unpacking boxes in Montreal, starting a whole new chapter in a new country.

Surrounded by the forests and lakes of Quebec, they kept finding things they wanted to do more often — hiking new trails, swimming in summer, kayaking after work, getting out in the snow instead of just talking about it. But a new place can make even simple plans feel surprisingly hard when you do not yet have your people.

Some weekends they had the energy but no plan. Other times they had the idea but no one to join them. The missing piece was not always money or logistics. Often it was just finding another person, couple, family, or small group who wanted the same kind of day.

If only it were easier to find people to do things with.
