>I'm a single, latino male in his early-30s who's also an introvert with no family or friends in that part of the US, so I would basically be starting over.

Starting over fresh with no contacts is tough in NH, especially as an introvert. There used to be more meetups and interesting events before COVID, but venues vanished and events are only slowly coming back.

To get a better idea of events around town, grab a copy of The Hippo (free weekly) when you visit NH, or you can buy access to the digital edition.

I'm currently going through the 'wtf did I just do?' phase after I made the decision to (eventually) pack up and leave everything here behind to experience something new--especially as an introvert.

Thanks for the The Hippo recommendation; I want to come prepared so I'll give it a read before I move.

My best friend was raised in KC and several years into our friendship he commented that he initially thought New Englanders were snobby and standoffish. After visiting his family there I understood- the hospitality was almost overwhelming.

I don’t think of New Englanders as unfriendly - more like respectfully distant. We’ll leave you alone to do your thing but if you need help (like if your car is stuck in the snow) we are happy to jump in.
