What MEMBERS Are Saying

“When I found PARALLEL, I finally felt like I found my people. Socializing changes as you get older and friends start having children, but PARALLEL has given me a community of genuine, like-minded people to enjoy life with and build meaningful friendships.”

Emily

“Joining PARALLEL made it easy to build connections with genuine people who share my excitement for living the most fulfilling life we can”

Brian

“What I love about PARALLEL is that the work is done for me. I can just show up and enjoy the activity knowing I’ll be with a vetted crowd of people who share the same goal: making actual friends in a city where that can often feel impossible.”

Amy

“If someone were on the fence about joining PARALLEL, I’d tell them, what are you waiting for??!!! I haven't found any other community out there that you can make fast but also lasting friendships, especially in Los Angeles. PARALLEL gave me exactly what I was searching for, and I already feel like many of the members I've met can become lifelong friends who share similar lifestyles.”

Shana

“PARALLEL is the first time I felt community in LA”

Michael
