Sound like you?

Something shifted, and your
social life didn't keep up.

  • You've had weekends recently where you wished you had more on.
  • You want friends who actually show up, not just people you vaguely know.
  • You wish making new friends felt easier than it currently does.
  • It would feel good to have 3 to 5 solid people you could text anytime.
  • You want people to actually do things with, not just a bigger social circle.
  • You know your social life could be better. You just need an easier way in.

Just go to one event. You won't need convincing after that. Indi

Don't overthink it. Everyone shows up not knowing anyone. That's the whole point. Joe

What we believe

Life is better with friends.

Not everyone. Just your people. The ones you laugh with, adventure with, learn from, and text on a Tuesday.

We're all humans

We all come from different walks of life and we do not have to fix or change each other. Community is the cure.

Vibes over age

Everyone has a story and something to teach you. The only thing we screen for is good intention.

Let's not meet at a bar

Get outdoors, get moving, connect differently. Not anti-bar. Just tired of it being the only option.

It's not about the activity

The hike is an excuse. Nobody here is trying to be a pro surfer. It's a reason to be somewhere with people.

Meaningful doesn't mean deep

A deep question at the wrong moment is just awkward. A laugh about something silly can matter more.

Everyone contributes

Give someone a lift. Bring food. Collect the firewood. A community works when everyone brings something.

Imperfection is connection

It rains. Plans change. The cafe is shut. We work it out together, and that is usually the bit you remember.

Less phone, more people

Less home, more out. Treat the city you live in like you are backpacking it.

Consistency builds trust

We have cancelled two events in four and a half years. Friendship comes from turning up in the same place enough times that people know they can count on you.

Showing up is the whole thing

Late is fine. Quiet is fine. There is no right way to turn up, and it takes courage either way.

One in three Australians are lonely. So why not just hang out.

From the crew

Real people. Real friendships.

"My circle got smaller"
★★★★★

"I've lived on the Coast eleven years. Somewhere in there everyone had kids or moved away and my circle quietly shrank to about two people. First bonfire I went to, I knew nine people by the end of the night."

"I stopped asking people"
★★★★★

"I'd stopped inviting people to things. You ask twice, they're busy twice, and eventually you just stop asking. Here nothing needs organising, it's already on. I've been to eleven things in three months."

"Starting again from scratch"
★★★★★

"After my marriage ended I realised most of my social life had been ours, not mine. Starting again at forty was the daunting part. Turns out you just have to turn up somewhere on a Tuesday."

"Am I too old for this?"
★★★★★

"I nearly didn't come because I assumed it would be all twenty year olds. It isn't. I'm fifty three and there have been people my age at every single thing I've been to."

"I hate walking in alone"
★★★★★

"I am not naturally someone who walks into a room full of strangers. Doing it on a hike helps. You are all just walking and talking and nobody is watching you."

"Something feels missing"
★★★★★

"I couldn't put my finger on what was wrong. Life was fine but something felt flat. Sitting around the bonfire at my first Sunsetcrew camping trip, surrounded by people who actually wanted to be there, I felt it come back. I'd found my spark again."

Why I built this

"There's no point living in the most beautiful city in the world if you have no one to spend it with."

Sunsetcrew was born four years ago when I dropped out of school, moved to the Gold Coast, and realised how hard it actually is to make real friends as an adult. I didn't want bars. I didn't want run clubs. I wanted real conversations and proper adventures, so that's exactly what I built.

One in three Australians are lonely. That's over ten million people who feel exactly how I used to feel. Weekends that feel emptier than they should, friends who aren't doing the stuff you actually want to do, a nagging feeling that your social life could be so much more. If that's you, I get it. That's exactly how I felt. And it's exactly why I know Sunsetcrew will be perfect for you.

I wake up every single day thinking about how to bring humans together and take people on adventures. It's not a job to me. It's what I care about more than anything. I've met my girlfriend here. I've met my best friends here. This community changed my life and I'd love for it to change yours.

Come to one event. I would absolutely love to meet you there.

The whole point of this is simple. A world where every human has friends, feels loved, and is part of a community.

Got questions?

Everything you were
wondering about.

Am I too old? Is there anyone 50+?
+
Vibes over age. Everyone has a story and something to teach you. People look younger when they're showing up and having fun. If you're open-minded and looking to meet people, you'll fit in perfectly. One in three people in the Sunsetcrew community are 50+. We have a very active 50+ crew. You are more than welcome.
What actually happens at an event?
+
We run icebreakers at almost every event and make it genuinely easy to connect within the group. The heart and soul of Sunsetcrew is meaningful connection, not just people standing around. You'll leave knowing people's names, stories, and probably their number.
What if I don't have a car?
+
Every event has a pre-event group chat, and carpools happen at almost every single one. It's actually one of the best ways to make friends before you've even arrived. Don't let transport stop you, just put your hand up in the chat and someone will sort you out.
Where on the Gold Coast do events happen?
+
Every weekend we're somewhere different. Some events are on the southern end, some up north, and everywhere in between. We rotate deliberately so it's always fresh, and so members from all parts of the Coast get events close to them.
I'm a bit quiet, will I be okay?
+
You're absolutely welcome to be yourself. Everyone is a little nervous at their first event, introverts, extroverts, and everyone in between. We know everyone has a story worth hearing. Sunsetcrew isn't about being the loudest person in the room. Just show up as you are.
Is $20.70/month actually worth it?
+
Less than a coffee a week. For that you get 7 organised events every month, a community of 500+ genuine people, and a full social calendar planned for you. One good friendship from Sunsetcrew is worth more than years of membership fees.
Can I really cancel anytime?
+
Yes, genuinely. No lock-in, no phone calls, no awkward conversations. Cancel at any time at sunsetcrew.com.au/credits/cancel.php, you'll also get this link in your welcome email so you always have it. We make leaving easy on purpose. We'd rather you stay because you love it.
Your social life is waiting

Come and be
