One of the ways to integrate to a new culture, or to reconnect with one after you’ve repatriated, is to become part of a community in your local city.

However, in addition to passing the time, animals can… [Read more…]

With Thanksgiving, and the holiday season upon us, I know many expats will be far from home. This is a time when it’s all too easy to get caught up in missing your friends and family back home, and wishing you were with them, leading to possible bouts of depression. Especially if you are in a country that… [Read more…]

If you’re trying to meet new people, and make new friends, one of the best ways to do it is by joining a local organization. Ideally, it should be getting people together around a purpose or topic of interest to you. Let me give you an example of how this just worked for me. I… [Read more…]

I’ve mentioned before that volunteering is one of the absolute best ways to meet new people, and feel less isolated. Today, in my capacity as a Big Apple Greeter, I took a lovely French couple around New York to show them parts of the city they wouldn’t get to see on their own. They ended… [Read more…]
