What are some activities which are free or inexpensive that I can do to entertain myself / keep good mental health while searching for a better paid job? (sh.itjust.works)

I recently moved to a new city and don’t know anybody here yet.

I want to try out some things and meet new people and avoid sitting at home all day (but sometimes is ok)

My ideas are hiking, volunteering and reading. What would you recommend? Any good ideas?

Websearch "your city" plus refugee services. There will be government and NGO listings; try the NGO people first, just a phone call and tell whoever answers "I am a tutor who teaches XYZ and I am new to town. Looking to volunteer my time and tutor skills. Who do I contact?"

They'll set you up. In Canada, you might need a criminal record check first.
