New to the country? Your circle of friends starts here.
Moving to a new country is a fresh start, and building a social life from scratch takes time when everyone around you already has their people. Friendchise makes it easy to meet like-minded people over food and drinks, so building your circle here can start right away.

“New friends and delicious food, wonderful! So easy to participate.”
“So far, I’ve had two nice dinners with a group of people and an ice cream date with two other girls via Friendchise. I think it’s an easy way to get to know people in a relaxed atmosphere, whether you’re traveling or, as in my case, moving to a new city and wanting to expand your social circle. If you’re planning an activity and don’t feel like doing it alone, you can post it on Friendchise and make new connections.”
“Had a great time with friendly and like minded people in Las Palmas. Was honestly a bit surprised about how smooth it was to join an event, definitely recommend!”
“Going on a dinner on Friendchise feels like meeting old friends who you enjoy having a good time with: you have a great evening, share lots of laughs and stories as if you have known each other for years. It’s personal, familiar, and not like just another ‘meet new people’ event.”
“I had a lovely dinner with a bunch of new people I had just met. At first I thought I would get bored but we all ‘clicked’ and had lots of fun. Friendchise was super easy to use. I just signed up and joined the event, everything was really simple (and I like simple 😀)”
“It’s a cool app. I signed up and ended up having a fun burger dinner with some awesome new people. Really enjoyed it!”
“Love this app. I tried out Friendchise in my first week of Las Palmas, immediately found like-minded people, even made some good friends, and discovered new places in town. Then I created my own plans, nervous at first if anyone was gonna come, but quickly relieved how smooth everything went and how many people wanted to join. Every experience with Friendchise has been great for me, so I want to encourage others to try out the app, host their own events, and meet new people!”
“I love this app! Makes it so easy to schedule social activities with your friends group!!!! No more hassle to gather all the feedback, and less distractions than on Facebook!”
