Time to time. Usually I’ve meet new people when I’m traveling in another places. But in my work place I’m meeting a new persons too.

I often meet new people in the college and church.

I often meet new people, sometimes at work, sometimes at celebrations.

I don´t meet people often. Only sometimes in the gym or some new neighbor in the building.

Before this pandemic, I often participate many competitions in many places. There I met many new people. But, at this time I meet little new people bacause most of my time is at home.
