It all started with a simple admission: not having company is nothing to be ashamed of. It happens to far more people than you'd imagine — students who moved to a new city, people who changed jobs, friends who drifted apart when life's rhythms changed.
That's where the idea was born: an Instagram page that sells nothing. It does only one thing — it gathers people for walks, coffee, board games, hikes. No prerequisites, no "you need to know someone", no pressure.
The empty chair rule
Every one of our events follows one unwritten rule: there is always a seat for the next person. If you spot a pameparea.team group in a square, you don't need an introduction. You come, you sit, you're in.
This rule isn't a slogan — it's the reason we exist. Most of us came to our first meetup alone. And we remember exactly how much courage that first step took.
We don't create events to fill a feed. We create excuses for people to meet who would otherwise never cross paths.
Where we go from here
The next step is this very site: a place for our stories, upcoming meetups, and small guides for anyone struggling to take the first step. If you're reading these lines and hesitating — this article was written for you.
Book a seat at the next event or send us a message. A "hi" is enough. The rest is our job.
