It’s very readable and fun... as a 74 year old who just spent 10 pre covid Years as a nomad... I’m right with you. What really got me moving and encouraged me to give up my permanent home was volunteering. I ended up loving the Buddhist nunnery in north India and spending 4 months a year there. Once you start roaming around you realize the world has a lot to offer and most of it is cheaper than California.. Now I just can’t stay put.. I’ll do that when I get old:)
I didn’t use the social apps but I am a natural
Talker who likes people. I always appreciate a sushi bar, a very comfortable place to dine alone.
Keep it up. The world needs international understanding . Travel helps, we are little peace ambassadors
This is such a fun and creative piece! I love the way you play with the newsletter format - it always feels so new and fun and surprising in the best way!
I loved this piece so much tat!!! Definitely came at the perfect time because i am moving to a new city in the new year. This made me excited to make new friends and feel open in the face of all my new opportunities :)
Your expressive pictures tell a story with such joy. Leaving a not so happy, not what you hoped for, situation in Spain for the complete unknown of Berlin - gutsy. Knowing that at times you will be rejected, as you point out, and still going for it is a leap of faith with great rewards I find. Glad to hear you’re feeling better
I loved this story's triumphant arc! And these are also great tips for those of us not living in foreign cities. So many people are just looking for connection.
Great post! When I arrived in the foreign city where I was going to be living for a year (also in Germany, actually), one of my flatmates - at the time a complete stranger - advised me that 'to get to know a city you need to get lost in it'. Well, I get lost EVERYWHERE, and that idea of getting to know a place is to proceed with utmost caution, clutching to the coat tails of someone who's lived there forever, and to not let go until I have been guided all the way home again!
I love this story, the illustration of the graffiti, and the photo snaps! You’re the second person this week who has said they used Bumble BFF with great success, I love it!
The storytelling via Photobooth snaps is brilliant! I really enjoyed this one, Tatiana, and appreciate your vulnerability. Making friends is difficult--even for those who seem to make friends easily.
So You Arrive to a Foreign City Alone and Desperate for Friends?
Loved this!! Thanks for taking a chance on a random off Reddit 🫡✨
Sooo good! Thx for making Berlin what it was <3

Creative, charming, and courageous -- so inspired

Joy-filled and inspired by this. ❤️
How fun to capture selfies in a strip from a photibooth. With your new peeps. Thanks
Wonderfully fun to read!
So often, making new friends as adults is more awkward than dating!

Such a great post!! Love the pics 😍 I hate selfies as well. Bravo!! ♥️
