Moving to a new country—or even spending a year abroad—is an exciting experience. 1 Making friends in a new country is one of them. Here are some suggestions.
Network through personal connections. Most people don’t jump at the chance to show a stranger around town, but that changes as soon as you make a personal connection—even a tiny one. 2 Until you do, you’ll never know if your former classmate’s brother’s best friend lives around the corner.
Join a hobby club or a sports team. Committing to (全身心投入) a weekly hobby meetup is a great way to force yourself to socialise. There are always hiking clubs looking for teammates. You don’t have to master the local language to find partners. 3 What you need to do is make an effort to start conversations or sign up for exercise classes.
4 Feeling lonely isn’t just about not having weekend plans; it can make us feel like we don’t matter to the people around us. Join an organisation that helps homeless people or helps out animal shelters. You’ll feel good about yourself and find an immediate sense of connection.
Talk to strangers. When you’re the stranger in town, it’s easy to feel awkward and out of place. The more you push past that, the more you’ll find that almost everyone enjoys meeting new people. Talking about where you come from and what the weather is like is the first step to get to know someone. 5
