How to make friends

On friends and friendship as an expat

Friendship is incredibly important. Especially for an expat who has to make new friends quickly or suffer a lonely and dispiriting life overseas.

Good friends add so much to our lives and in many cases, and especially with the expat lifestyle, friends become our new family.

Making new friends is something we need to do our entire lives.
