We are the San Diego chapter of Friendship Force International,
an organization promoting world peace

Friendship Force is an organization dedicated to world peace through the understanding of different people and cultures. Members travel throughout the world meeting people, sharing experiences, and gaining insight into each other’s lifestyles. This is accomplished by a club through one-week stays in homes hosted by locals, and hosting guests from other countries in our homes. Our 80 members usually have a meeting (and a travel-related program) on the 3rd Saturday of every month at 1:30 pm at the Joyce Beers Community Center in Hillcrest.

When our members travel, they're not just seeing sites — they're sitting at tables where different languages are spoken, local cuisine is shared and life-long friendships form. That's the difference between visiting a place and actually meeting it. 🌍

Ever wonder what it's actually like to host an FFI member? Spoiler: it starts a little awkward and ends with someone crying at the airport (happy tears). Hosting isn't about having the perfect guest room — it's about pulling up a chair. Ever hosted or been hosted? We want to hear the story in the comments! 🏡

Today is the UN's International Day of Peace! This year's theme is "Invest in Peace — For Everyone, Everywhere, Every Day," and it's all about the everyday people building peace through local, personal action.

That's basically our members in a nutshell. 💛 Every homestay, every shared meal, every friendship across a border is a small act of peace-building — and it adds up to something big. Thank you to everyone who makes citizen diplomacy real, one connection at a time.

How has a Friendship Force connection changed the way you see the world?

The Javanese Culture Festival has officially wrapped — but the memories from Yogyakarta are still fresh. Batik dyed by hand, dishes shared table-side, jeep rides through the hills, and a float through Goa Pindul's glowing waters.

This week was a reminder of what happens when curiosity meets connection: strangers become friends, and a place becomes personal.Terima kasih, Yogyakarta 🇮🇩
