Learning languages making friends

You arrived to a new country to study or maybe to work far away from your family and friends. You do not have friends in this new place, you are feeling alone and well, you used to do your things on your own! That was my history 6 years ago when I arrived to Barcelona. Far away from my country and with the time I started a fb page called Language Exchange in Barcelona - Tandem that has more than 5100 likes and another one called New in Barcelona, let's spend some time together with almost 1000 likes

I started to make meet-ups almost 1 year ago, walks around Barcelona, international picnics in the park all these events for free just like a hobby (I do not charge nothing) and this was a way to connect with people from different cultures.

While these people start to meet new friends who have a similar history, being far away from their countries, They started to join my meet-ups coming several times more than just once and that helps us to know each others better, becoming friends and helping people to not feel alone in a big city.

I created a whats app group where people can propose ideas for doing different activities during the week. We are 116 people already and we spend time together. Some people left because they had to return to their country. Sometimes this is a little bit sad because you used to do a lot of things with them. Nevertheless they also visit us  and we do things together again.

I started to create  this meet-ups in other countries with people who came to my groups and liked the format that I used and the way of making new friends. They return to their countries and  with my help start to do the same i do. But now i would like to make the next step, creating a webpage to help people around the world to connect, don't feel alone and being able to feel like at home! 

As i said before joining my meet ups are completly free. That's why i would like to fund for this project and i want this to take place in as many countries as possible.
