Wikipedia
Visit the Wikipedia page for something you know quite a bit about. Go to the bottom of the left sidebar and click on a language to view the version of that article in a language you do not speak. Then follow links from page to page on that language's version of Wikipedia, until you find an article that does not exist in English. (Depending on the language space, you will likely either see a list of language in the left sidebar or via a dropdown menu on the upper right hand side of the page). Once you've found a page that does not exist in English (it may take some time), copy and paste the text into Google Translate to translate back into English.

Skim their profile, and optionally their Talk page (which there is a tab for on the upper left hand of the profile). What's their vibe? Repeat until you find someone you'd want to be friends with.
