In this forth episode of Friendship Stories series, my friend Melinda joins me to share her experience of Friendship before and after she moved to Australia. We will be talking about what changed Melinda's perspective on Friendship after leaving her home country, her idea of best friendships, and how she goes about the hierarchical nature of her friendships.

Brace yourself for that and many more while enjoying your scrumptious evening tea and thank you once again for listening to Tea Buddies!
