About Zanmi

Meet people who vibe like you

Zanmi is a series of small, human-centered gatherings. Every group is built based on profiles, so the people, energy, and intentions all align.

At each event, a host is there to welcome everyone, break the ice, and keep the good vibes flowing.

Founder

The story behind Zanmi

Hey, I'm Japhet :) Having lived in different cities and countries, I know how hard it can be to meet people and feel truly connected.

That's why I started Zanmi (which means "friend" in Caribbean Creole) — to create an easy, fun way to meet new people in Toulouse, without weird apps or forced meetups.

Now we host small hangouts designed to help locals and expats connect naturally, through shared experiences in a warm and welcoming setting.
