Befriended a colleague and her husband. They recently moved to my country, and we’re both new on the job, so felt like a perfect setup.

Also met a British woman who recently moved to the country at an event recently where I was giving a talk. We don’t have the same background, but looking forward to inviting her out to hang!

I’ve lived abroad a few years myself, and I am in an international relationship, so I know how important it is for new arrivals to connect with locals. And I love getting new friends from across the world!
