The concept of ‘toki’ is all about embracing each moment of social connection as a once in a lifetime opportunity - that is, to enjoy it for what it is, without worries or expectations… because some magical connections happen when we least expect it ✨ From fishing toki to kayaking toki, the spontaneous moments that these tokinos shared together have now grown into deeper friendships that spark late night foodie adventures 🥰 Ready to feel the warm fuzzies and find your ultimate foodie buddies too? If you’re a UQ student, join the ‘toki @ UQ’ Facebook group to bring some toki magic into your life 🧚‍♂️🍜🍡 #uq #uqtoki #visitbrisbane #sunnybank #foodie

Navigating uni life series (Part 4) Last of these series before we revive our Instagram account with fresh content 🥳 Finding “your people” takes time and effort, but feeling connected is at the heart of our well-being ❤️ It’s especially easy to push our social lives to the side when other things get stressful (EXAMS AND ASSIGNMENTS 😫), but this is when the effort we put in to share a moment with others can go a really long way. If you’re a UQ student, join us in our ‘toki @ UQ’ Facebook group to find spontaneous mini getaways with your kinda people to bust those end-of-semester blues 💪🏻 #wannatoki #uqtoki #connection #friendship #relationships #mentalhealth #wellbeing #studentlife

Navigating uni life series (Part 3) 👨🏽‍🎓 Making friends at uni can be surprisingly hard. If you feel like you’re floating around on your own when “everyone else” has their friend group, you’re not alone… More than 50% of 18- to 24-year-olds say they feel like they don’t have the social connection they need 😢 If you are a UQ student, there’s now a Facebook group (search: “toki @ UQ”) where you can spontaneously suggest whatever you feel like doing, and find others to share the moment together. Whether that’s finding a lecture buddy 💻, someone to grab lunch with between classes 🍔, or venture off campus to explore Brisbane 🛴, you can find your people while doing what you love ❤️ #uqtoki #wannatoki #toki #uq #student #studentlife #uniofqld #uni #classroom #lectures #friends #dating #relationships #connection #love #startup #hustle

👩🏻‍🎓 Being a first year series (Part 2) 👶🏻 There’s a lot going on when transitioning into uni life, but we asked some UQ students: “What was the SCARIEST part of being a 1st year?” 🧌🫣 When we asked this question, the thing that came up most frequently was matters of social connection. That’s why we are very excited to be trialling the ‘toki’ concept with students at The University of Queensland. If you’re a UQ student, you can turn your everyday uni moments into little nuggets of social connection by going on the “toki @ UQ” Facebook group 👀 #uqtoki #wannatoki #toki #student #studentlife #connection #friendship #dating #relationship #wellbeing #wellness #unilife #uni #challenges #lonely #socialisolation #love

Have you ever really wanted to go do something, and wished you had someone to go with? 🥺 With toki, you can spontaneously suggest whatever you feel like doing and find someone to share the moment together ❤️ If you’re a UQ student, you can now join the ‘toki @ UQ’ Facebook group to trial the concept 🤩 #uqtoki #wannatoki #toki #uq #student #studentlife #connection #friends #relationships #dating #love #wellness #wellbeing #mentalhealth #startup #hustle #creative

Transitioning into uni life is a lot 😮‍💨 When we go through life transitions, we experience big shifts in our sense of identity. This often disrupts our social connections and leaves us with feelings of loneliness. … and that’s why we are trialling the concept of ‘toki @ UQ’. We want to help support the beautiful students at The University of Queensland navigate their transition into uni by empowering them to find little nuggets of social connections in their everyday lives 💪🏻❤️ #uqtoki #wannatoki #toki #uq #student #studentlife #life #lifetransitions #connection #relationships #friends #dating #startup #hustle #love #wellness #wellbeing #mentalhealth

To celebrate "Dating Sundae" (i.e., day of the year when most people are active on dating apps), we wanted to see if anyone who said they are interested in teh concept of 'toki' would come out to toki with us 🍨 A BIG SHOUT OUT TO TIM who helped make happen our first ever official toki!!! 🥳 Thank you also to the 15 other wonderful people who reached out to chat with us on the beautiful grassy fields + my UQ Ventures ilab accelerator mates who came out for moral support 💪 Finally, we were SO excited that one of the girls we got to meet on the day messaged in the evening to suggest a toki to do together 🥰 If anyone has any ideas for a future toki ( = an opportunity to share a moment together while doing what you love to do), send us a message anytime! #wannatoki #toki #moment #connection #friendship #dating #DatingSunday #dog #dogsoffacebook #tshirts #crafts #creative #startup #hustle #grassroots #icecream #brisbane #UQ

Thank you to the 42 amazing and brave people who came to chat with us about their experiences of meeting new people 🥲 We learned many things about human connection like… 📱 The Gen Z are super bold (!!!) about their use of social media to connect with random others 🎒 The hostel/backpacker culture is still alive and well post-pandemic 👶🏻 It’s tricky to make friends as new parents, but even trickier to maintain those friendships as the kids grow up 🧶 The beautiful Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders people’ culture of yarning circles We were also reminded of the courage it takes to move to new cities/countries, and how a little bit of love can go a long way to support people who are far away from their loved ones 🥰 We want to make ‘toki’ something that will make a true difference in your lives, so anything and everything you share with us we value so much. We will keep these things in mind as we move forward in our journey to developing the app 💪🏻 #connection #love #friendship #wellness #travel #overseas #studyabroad #brisbane #gratitude #moment #wannatoki #toki
