Listen Later

I’ve been abroad for 4 years now. And over these 4 years, I have do doubt had periods of loneliness. But I’ve also had periods of time where I’ll meet somebody new who is AWESOME, but I’m like, “Yeah, you’re super cool and all and I think we’d get on well, but the roster is full. I have enough friends right now and I just don’t have the capacity to invest in any more friendships.” But I think sometimes friendships ebb and flow. Sometimes people enter our lives for a short period of time. But sometimes we are lucky enough to meet our soulmate best friends for life. More than likely, when you move abroad you will probably need to build some new friendships. So let’s take some time talking about what the different causes of loneliness are and how to combat these when you move abroad! 

I this episode, we'll cover: 

  • Finding local social support
  • Staying connected with home
  • Language barrier
  • Cultural adjustment
  • Being aware of your personality type 
  • How to find your people abroad 
  • Accept that being lonely is a normal part of life
