Listen Later

Moving to a new city or town as an adult can feel exciting — and also incredibly lonely. In this episode of The Friendship Tour, we’re sharing real-world tips for how to make friends and build connection when you’re new in town.


Whether you've relocated for a new job, a new relationship, the end of a relationship, your grandkids, or just a bit of adventure, this episode covers the strategies, mindset shifts, and small steps that can lead to genuine, lasting friendships in your new community.

We’ll talk about:

- How to understand your current needs and what kind of friendships you're truly looking for

- Why trying new places matters when you’re looking to meet people

- Why other newcomers can be some of the easiest people to connect with

- The importance of making at least one local friend

- How to respectfully adapt to local culture and avoid social missteps

- The power of focusing on similarities rather than differences

- Why some locals might not be looking for new friends

- Encouragement to keep going, even when connection takes time

This is your go-to guide for making adult friendships in a new place from someone who's been there more than once or twice.

🎧 Listen now if you’ve ever wondered:  “How do I meet new people in a new city?”  “How can I make friends after moving?”  “Who can I hang out with?”  “Where do I even begin to build a social circle as an adult?”
