What are the best, but also most frugal/cheapest, ways to meet people with a mind beyond casual interactions?

I've actually never heard the "explore local villages or cities" as dating advice. As an adventurer, I'm curious about this one.

How can you turn "exploring on your own" into a dating opportunity? I can only imagine it translates down to "find a different bar/cafe," which I've always seen as kind of bad places to meet new partners.

Thank you for the awesome insights!
