#49 How to Make Friends and Meet People Abroad


Listen Later

In this week's episode, I tackle one of your most requested topics: How the heck do you make friends and build a community when you're living abroad?

Now, making connections isn't just about luck—it's a blend of strategy and mindset. I dive into both to help you kickstart your social circle in your new country.

I spill the tea on some savvy strategies, like sliding into DMs and making connections online before you even touch down in your new home. Apps like Bumble BFF and expat Facebook groups—they're a goldmine for finding your tribe.

From bonding with your coworkers to mingling at co-working spaces and diving into hobbies, there are countless ways to expand your social circle.

You know I'm all about tackling those pesky fears and limiting beliefs head-on. Because let's face it, making friends abroad can be downright intimidating. But with a little mindset magic and a sprinkle of confidence, you've got what it takes to create a community that feels like home.

So, fellow wanderers, let's dive into the art of making friends abroad and uncover all the secrets to building a kickass community in your new home.
