  • I decided to go to a Timeleft in Sydney and despite being apprehensive, I was pleasantly surprised. It was a great group and I’m looking forward to hanging out with them again and going again!

  • I was at a birthday dinner and asked a girl how she met my friend. She said at a Timeleft dinner! I had never heard of the app, but I decided to give it a go. I have been to two dinners so far and plan to go to more…
