r/northwales

Hello!

My name is Mine, I am an MSc student at the London School of Economics studying Social and Cultural Psychology. 

I am currently conducting a research project on Welsh identity and future outlook as part of my master’s thesis, and am looking for students who identify as Welsh and as a woman or a gender diverse identity who I can speak to. I'd particularly love to amplify voices from North Wales, so thought I'd try this page.

The interviews will be conducted in English for about 45mins-1hour, and you will answer questions about Welsh identity + your opinions on the future of Wales. You don't need to be an expert on sustainability or anything, I just want your honest opinion! Your participation will contribute in understanding how sustainable policies can be best approached, in a way that matches you and your local community’s future outlook. 

If you are interested, please fill out this form: https://forms.office.com/e/yZw2aDjgvK, and I will contact you to schedule a time that works for you! 

Thank you so much, and if you have any questions at all please email me at m.gelegen@lse.ac.uk.

Hi everyone,

I'm a 37-year-old male who has recently moved to Bangor and I'm looking to meet some new people locally. It would be great to make a few genuine friendships with people who enjoy getting out for walks, exploring the area, grabbing a coffee, having a chat, or just finding things to do together from time to time.

Moving somewhere new can make it a little difficult to build a social circle, so I thought I'd put myself out there and see if anyone is in a similar position. I'm easy-going, friendly, and always happy to meet people from different backgrounds and walks of life.

One thing I would say is that I'm looking for people who are genuinely interested in making new friends. I've found that a lot of conversations start well, with messages going back and forth for a few days, and then they simply fizzle out without ever leading anywhere. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being busy, but I'd much rather connect with people who are interested in actually meeting up, building a friendship, and making the effort to stay in touch.

Whether you're new to the area yourself, looking to expand your social circle, or simply fancy having someone to go for a walk or coffee with occasionally, feel free to send me a message.

It would be great to hear from some like-minded people.

North wales, nicest place to propose?

Hey everyone, so this is a bit of a different one, I've booked a place for me and my partner not far from the menai, we're from the south side of Wales, and I have no issues with saying your end is so much more stunning!

It'll be her birthday, like I said, we have a nice place booked, dinner for the evening all sorted, etc. checklist is getting there. She knows we're going away for the night, but nothing else. Particularly, I'm planning to propose to her whilst we're there.

Issue is I'm completely at a loss as to where to do this, I've been looking at Google maps and street view for hours now and I'm getting nowhere 😂 somewhere beautiful and memorable would be the idea I'm thinking 🤔

Would any of you lovely people up north be able to help me with this?? You have no idea how grateful I'd be if this can be nailed perfectly! Thank you to everyone in advance! 😁
