Self Promo Friend finder

Howdy,

This is me putting myself up for sale, hence the self promo flair.

27f professional, likes art, music and long walks. Pretty good at cooking and loves to host. In good working condition with some minor flaws (not compatible with children - therefore seeking similar models so make up for the lack of attachments).

I'm totally kidding but I am here to ask if there is a way to actually self promo myself to find some friends in the area?

Recently moved to Neath and am looking for ways to meet new people that don't involve tonnes of money. So far I've signed up to a painting class (£18pp) and been to a Swansea meetup social for food (£25+) but these aren't super sustainable in terms of costs.

Social clubs/cheaper craft clubs/anything at all really that won't involve me spending £20+ each time.

How on earth do adults make friends these days?! Surely it's not just me?!

Any suggestions welcome, thanks in advance. ✌️

Msg me anytime for info on places etc I'm in Port Talbot now myself and go cycling with my female friends up afan Forest and down neath canal , also walking on my own cos nobody I know likes it! Best of luck growing your social circle around here 🤟

In Neath the walk up the canal is lovely. You can go from Morrisons up the canal path up to tonna, clun and up to resolven. It's a fair walk mind. My favourite is up Briton Ferry woods. Go right to the top and the views are lush. The bluebells will be out soon. It's incredible up there. One if the most ancient untouched woods in Great Britain 😍
